Q. How can I get a non-face-to-face (telehealth) prescription for a diet program from a Korean medicine clinic in Uijeongbu?

Non-face-to-face treatment is a procedure designed for those who have difficulty visiting in person. After booking, a video or phone consultation is conducted at the scheduled time. During this, the Korean medicine doctor thoroughly asks about your constitution, digestive ability, swelling, constipation, and fatigue levels. Many people think of dieting as a 'calorie battle,' but in Korean medicine, the first step is to understand why the body tends to gain weight. For example, Spleen Qi Deficiency (Pi Xu) occurs when the spleen’s function weakens so that food is not properly transformed into energy, and Dampness (Shi) and Phlegm-Fluid (Tan Yin) accumulate, leading to weight gain. Also, if there is Blood Stasis (Yu Xue), poor circulation prevents waste from being eliminated, often leaving it as edema. After identifying the root cause, a personalized herbal formula is prescribed. The medicine is prepared by a licensed herbal pharmacist and sent via courier; any questions or changes during intake can be immediately asked by text or app. I myself have experimented with various diets in the past, so I believe it is important to maintain ongoing communication to not miss minor signals from the body (e.g., feeling bloated or changes in stool pattern). Follow-ups via telehealth are done every 2–4 weeks, with fine-tuning of the prescription as needed, and once the target body shape is approached, the focus shifts to maintenance. Of course, individual response speeds vary, and I hope patients understand that this is more about restoring body balance than simple weight loss. While specific reduction figures or comparisons with other products cannot be shared legally, many people report feeling lighter and experiencing easier digestion on their own.
