Q. Can I get a diet herbal prescription through a telemedicine consultation in Incheon? I'd like to know the process.

Yes, diet herbal prescriptions are available through teleconsultation. Since the practitioner cannot physically examine you, gathering as much information as possible through conversation is key. Teleconsultations still follow the Four Diagnostic Methods (Wang-Bang-Wen-Qie), using visual observation (Wang) via video and detailed patient history (Wen) to identify core pathogenesis patterns of obesity such as blood stasis (Yu Xue), phlegm-dampness (Tan Yin), and spleen deficiency (Pi Xu). Recommended preparation before consultation: ① Recent weight change trends ② Meal habits and portion sizes ③ Digestive discomfort (bloating, gas, etc.) ④ Sleep quality and stress levels Based on the consultation, prescriptions are structured in 4-5 progressive stages. Rather than simply emphasizing weight loss, the approach systematically improves body constitution: Stage 1: Spleen deficiency (Pi Xu) improvement and fundamental constitution correction Stage 2: Phlegm-dampness (Tan Yin) resolution and appetite regulation Stage 3: Blood stasis (Yu Xue) improvement to promote Qi and blood circulation Stage 4: Metabolic rate enhancement and fat breakdown promotion Stage 5: Maintenance and prevention of rebound weight gain Formulas such as Er Chen Tang, Ping Wei San, Fang Feng Tong Sheng San, and Xue Fu Zhu Yu Tang are modified according to individual constitution, though direct explanation from the practitioner provides the most accurate guidance. In-person consultation is recommended whenever possible. If time constraints make this difficult, remote consultation with medicine delivery is available. Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic is conveniently located near Bupyeong-gu Samudong, making it accessible for many patients commuting through the area.
