Q. What do I need to prepare to get a non-face-to-face diet herbal prescription from Geomdan?

In non-face-to-face consultations, since we cannot directly examine the patient, information that helps understand the body's condition is essential. First, blood test results—basic items like liver function, kidney function, and fasting blood glucose—are important references for herbal prescription. If available, body composition analysis or abdominal CT imaging can help assess Spleen Qi Deficiency (脾虛, weakened digestive function) or accumulation of Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮, retained fluids). Second, lifestyle patterns: recording meal times, snack types, sleep hours, and stress factors aids in evaluating Qi and Blood circulation and organ balance from a Korean medicine perspective. Be sure to mention bowel habits (constipation or diarrhea) and cold symptoms (冷寒, such as cold hands and feet or a cold lower abdomen). Lastly, disclosing any Western medications or health supplements prevents interactions with the herbal formula. Initially, I also felt uncertain preparing for a non-face-to-face visit, but in practice, this information suffices for a thorough assessment. Once ready, we will send a brief questionnaire for you to complete before the appointment.
