📝 Detailed Answer
Rest assured that a remote consultation does not mean a superficial prescription. Based on my own past experiences with trial and error while prioritizing efficiency, I examine patients even more meticulously during remote visits.
1. Pre-consultation Questionnaire: We check your current eating habits, sleep patterns, and the degree of edema. At this stage, we first determine if you are experiencing 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), a condition where weakened digestive functions prevent the body from utilizing energy efficiently.
2. Remote Consultation: Through video or phone calls, we assess your current condition. This is not simply about reducing weight, but a process of identifying the location and nature of 'Dameum' (痰飮, accumulated waste/phlegm) and 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) within the body.
3. Personalized Prescription and Preparation: Based on the consultation, we compose a formula of medicinal herbs tailored to your specific constitution. Since metabolic capacities vary by individual, we provide a prescription suited to your current state rather than a generic 'one-size-fits-all' remedy.
4. Delivery and Guidance: The prepared herbal medicine is shipped to your home along with detailed instructions on dosage and precautions.
Many people perceive herbal medicine as expensive. However, starving yourself or using overly potent stimulants without correcting the body's internal imbalance often leads to the 'futile effort' of the yo-yo effect. Even in a remote setting, our focus remains on restoring this equilibrium, so please feel free to inquire.
