📝 Detailed Answer
Yes, it is possible. Non-face-to-face treatment covers both initial and follow-up consultations. Since the doctor needs to assess your condition directly, a video call allows thorough discussion, and we determine your constitution through tongue diagnosis (舌診) and inquiry (問診). Diet herbal medicine is not simply about losing weight but regulating metabolic functions. For example, those with Spleen Deficiency (脾虛) often have weak digestion and absorption, leading to bloating and fatigue. In this case, herbs that strengthen the Spleen (脾臟) are used to improve basic metabolism. Conversely, a Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮) constitution involves accumulation of unnecessary waste in the body, so we focus on dissolving and expelling that waste. The process steps: 1. Fill out an online health questionnaire covering lifestyle, past diet history, and constitutional symptoms—this provides basic data for pattern identification (辨證) such as Spleen Deficiency, Phlegm-Fluid, or Blood Stasis (瘀血). 2. Schedule a 30-minute video consultation. The doctor examines your tongue and may perform abdominal palpation (腹診) remotely as possible. 3. Based on this, a personalized herbal formula is prescribed, typically for 2–4 weeks, with adjustments as needed. 4. After prescription, the pharmacy prepares the medicine, vacuum-packs it, and ships it via courier. In Cheonan, next-day delivery is standard (shipping fees apply). 5. During medication, we monitor your digestion, sleep, stool changes, and fatigue at 1–2 week intervals via text or phone, adjusting future prescriptions accordingly. Non-face-to-face care does not compromise quality, but initial visits require detailed inquiry with ample time. Herbal medicine effects vary by individual, and combining dietary and lifestyle modifications yields better results. Please feel free to ask any questions.
