Q. I want to know how to get a non-face-to-face diet prescription from a Korean medicine clinic in Gumi.

A.

Yes, non-face-to-face treatment is fully possible. Here’s how we do it: 1. Apply for consultation via website or phone – briefly describe your symptoms and goals. 2. Fill out a medical questionnaire – answer questions about diet, digestion, and constitution. 3. Non-face-to-face consultation (phone/video) – we assess internal imbalances like phlegm-fluid (痰飮) or spleen deficiency (脾虛). 4. Prescription and herbal medicine preparation – customized decoctions or pills are sent by courier. 5. Follow-up after 1–2 weeks to monitor progress. Although remote, thorough questioning makes it comparable to an in-person visit.

📝 Detailed Answer

Non-face-to-face treatment may feel unfamiliar at first. I also wondered how body condition could be assessed via screen, but in Korean medicine, inquiry (問診) accounts for over 70% of diagnosis. Even without pulse or abdominal palpation, detailed conversation can sufficiently identify conditions like spleen deficiency (脾虛) – where weak spleen function slows metabolism – or blood stasis (瘀血) blocking circulation and hindering weight loss. The process: first, we note that if you're in Gumi, courier delivery is possible within a day. Second, the questionnaire asks about bloating, cold sensitivity, constipation, and appetite patterns – this is crucial. Third, during the video consultation, we may request tongue photos or facial color – tongue diagnosis (舌診) and facial color assessment provide key clues; for example, a scalloped tongue edge suggests spleen deficiency, while dark sublingual veins indicate blood stasis. After diagnosis, herbal medicine is tailored to your constitution and current symptoms. It usually comes as decoctions (탕약) or pills (환제) – many prefer pills for convenience in remote settings. The medicine is shipped immediately after preparation, and we check in by phone or text after 1–2 weeks to review digestion, sleep, and bowel changes, adjusting the prescription if needed. However, remote care isn't suitable for everyone – those with severe abdominal obesity or suspected chronic inflammation may benefit more from an in-person abdominal exam (腹診). But for those seeking a low-pressure initial consultation, it's a good option. No pressure – feel free to reach out with questions.
