Q. What is the step-by-step process for receiving a non-face-to-face Korean medicine diet prescription in Songdo?

A.

The non-face-to-face diet prescription process consists of five main steps. First, submit an online consultation request and fill out a detailed health questionnaire. Then, have a video or phone consultation with a Korean medicine doctor, who will prescribe herbal medicine based on your constitution and symptoms. The medicine is prepared and delivered to your home. Follow-up check-ins occur every 2 weeks to 1 month, with adjustments made as needed. The entire process is conducted remotely, from initial consultation to ongoing management.

📝 Detailed Answer

Non-face-to-face consultations may feel unfamiliar at first—I felt the same—but they can actually allow for deeper focus on the health questionnaire. After applying, you fill out a detailed form covering diet, sleep, digestion, bowel movements, cold sensitivity, and edema. During the video consultation, the doctor observes your complexion and tongue and asks questions to indirectly assess your pulse. Based on patterns such as spleen qi deficiency (脾虛, biheo), phlegm-fluid (痰飮, dameum), or blood stasis (瘀血, eohyeol), they identify your constitutional imbalance. The first 1–2 weeks are a period of adaptation to the herbs; many people first notice easier digestion or a lighter feeling. After about a month, constitution-improving effects begin to emerge, though individual variation exists, so patience is advised. Follow-ups occur every 2–4 weeks to fine-tune the prescription. With consistent care over three months, the constitution tends to stabilize. This process focuses on restoring metabolic and digestive function rather than mere weight loss, which is why I often use the term 'constitution improvement' instead of 'diet'. While I cannot make exaggerated promises, steady support based on Korean medicine principles can lead to real change.
