In the past, I used to insist that herbal medicine required an in-person pulse diagnosis. However, with the establishment of remote consultations, it is rewarding to see patients from distant areas like Gyeryong receive care easily. The greatest advantage of remote prescription is 'continuity,' which is vital for weight loss success. For those with a constitution prone to weight gain due to Spleen Deficiency (脾虛, weakened digestive function), a thorough medical interview alone can often be sufficient for an effective prescription. However, there are limitations. Without an in-person visit, it is difficult to confirm subtle changes in Blood Stasis (瘀血, stagnant blood) or Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮, accumulated metabolic waste) through pulse or tongue diagnosis. Since the prescription relies on your subjective description, I exercise extra caution during the process. If you have no underlying illnesses and know your body well, remote consultation is an excellent option. If your condition is complex or it is your first TKM visit, I recommend an initial in-person appointment. The key to a healthy transformation is honest and deep communication, regardless of the consultation method.
