Q. I live in Sacheon and it's difficult for me to visit in person. How can I get a prescription for diet herbal medicine through a remote consultation?

I completely understand the desire for convenience; even as a practitioner, I know how tiring it can be to travel for appointments. That is why I have developed a sophisticated remote process to support you comfortably. First, we will conduct a detailed intake via KakaoTalk or phone to discuss your usual eating habits, sleep patterns, and any difficulties you experienced during previous diet attempts. Next, we will proceed with a personalized remote consultation via video or phone to assess your current energy levels and the degree of edema. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is a critical step to distinguish whether you are in a state of 'Spleen Deficiency' (脾虛 - Bi-heo), where impaired digestive and transport functions lead to weight gain, or a state of 'Phlegm-Fluid Retention' (痰飮 - Dam-eum), where metabolic waste accumulates and slows down the metabolism. Prescriptions are never one-size-fits-all. I determine whether we need to remove 'Blood Stasis' (瘀血 - Eo-hyeol)—stagnant blood and toxins—or boost your vital energy to increase your metabolic rate, and then create a tailored prescription based on that assessment. Once prepared according to the strict quality standards of Baekrokdam Clinic, your herbal medicine will be shipped quickly to your home. Please continue to share any physical changes you feel or dietary concerns while taking the medicine. The process of adjusting and refining the approach together is truly the most important part of the treatment. You might wonder, 'Can this really work remotely?' However, with thorough medical history taking and detailed consultations, an efficient and effective management plan is absolutely possible.
