Q. I live in Sacheon and it's difficult for me to visit in person. How can I get a prescription for diet herbal medicine via telemedicine?

It can be truly challenging to visit a clinic when you have a demanding schedule. Having experienced the exhaustion of sleepless nights during my own days as a medical student, I deeply empathize with your situation. That is why I have established a streamlined telemedicine process to ensure you can receive care comfortably. First, we begin with a preliminary consultation and a detailed medical questionnaire to thoroughly assess your current state. Rather than simply checking your weight, I examine your digestive health and sleep quality. In particular, it is crucial to determine if you are in a state of 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo, 脾虛), where weakened spleen function hinders proper nutrient absorption and metabolism. Next, we conduct a detailed consultation via video call or phone to analyze your constitution. I carefully distinguish whether your body has accumulated 'Phlegm-Fluid' (Dam-eum, 痰飮)—metabolic waste products—or if there is 'Blood Stasis' (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血) hindering circulation. Based on this analysis, I curate a 1:1 customized blend of medicinal herbs. My core principle is not to provide a generic, popular formula, but to issue a prescription precisely tailored to your current metabolic capacity. Once prepared, the herbal medicine is delivered directly to your home. I will continue to provide guidance on your dietary adjustments and monitor your body's response to the medication. While telemedicine may feel unfamiliar at first, a meticulous prescription is entirely possible through thorough medical inquiry and consistent communication. Let's work together slowly to transform your health.
