Q. Is it possible to use a non-face-to-face diet Korean medicine clinic in Yeosu?

Patients in Yeosu can also receive non-face-to-face treatment. However, Korean medicine diet therapy is not simply about losing weight; it looks at the body's fundamental balance. Therefore, during the first visit, I must see your face and examine your pulse (脈), tongue (舌), and perform abdominal diagnosis (腹診). That is why new patients must first have an in-person consultation. After that, once we identify constitutional features such as spleen deficiency (脾虛), phlegm-fluid (痰飮), or blood stasis (瘀血) and prescribe herbal medicine, follow-up visits can be managed adequately via non-face-to-face methods. The non-face-to-face prescription process works as follows: based on the initial diagnosis and herbal base, we check symptom changes by phone or video call. For example, if you report 'poor digestion' or 'constipation,' we adjust the prescription accordingly. However, even in such cases, it is safer to visit in person every 3–4 weeks to recheck your pulse and tongue. Alternating between face-to-face and non-face-to-face is more effective than relying solely on remote care. One important point: starting new treatment only via non-face-to-face without an initial visit is not possible. Under medical law, an initial consultation must be in person, and I cannot safely prescribe medication without directly assessing your overall condition. If you are in Yeosu, just come once for the first visit; afterward, you can comfortably consult from home. Feel free to call for detailed guidance.
