Q. How can I get a non-face-to-face (telemedicine) prescription for a Korean medicine diet program in Gangneung?

You can receive a non-face-to-face Korean medicine diet prescription even from Gangneung. I initially wondered if diagnosis over a screen could be effective, but I found that patients actually feel more comfortable sharing their concerns this way. The process is as follows: 1) Schedule an appointment, confirming whether you are a new or returning patient. While telemedicine is legally based on follow-up visits, new patient consultations may be possible depending on the situation — we will advise during the consultation. 2) During the video session, please have basic information ready such as body composition and blood pressure. Be sure to mention any past diet attempts and your current condition (e.g., poor digestion, fatigue, constipation). In Traditional Korean Medicine, Spleen Deficiency (pi xu) — weakened spleen function — often hinders weight loss and leads to rebound weight gain; we assess this aspect. 3) After diagnosis, we prescribe herbal medicine tailored to your constitution and condition, addressing factors like Blood Stasis (yu xue) or Phlegm-Fluid (tan yin) if present. 4) The medicine is shipped to you, and you can consult via text or phone during the treatment period; we may adjust the prescription if your condition changes. Note that not everyone is suitable for telemedicine — e.g., those with serious underlying diseases or requiring pulse diagnosis are advised to visit in person. However, most working patients manage their diet programs effectively through this method. After some trial and error, I have concluded this is the most practical approach. Please feel free to ask further questions.
