Q. I live in the countryside and it's difficult to visit the clinic in person. Is it possible to get a prescription for diet herbal medicine via remote consultation?

I personally understand how precious your time is, as I have also experienced the difficulty of delaying treatment due to a hectic schedule. This is why we provide the convenience of remote prescriptions. The primary advantage of remote consultation is the elimination of travel time; traveling from a distant city to Seoul can be exhausting. Additionally, many patients find it psychologically easier to express their concerns and ask detailed questions via chat or phone than in a clinical setting. However, there are certain clinical limitations. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), observing the complexion and performing pulse diagnosis are critical to assessing the extent of 'Dameum' (痰飮, accumulation of metabolic waste) or 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis). It is challenging to capture these subtle physiological nuances through a screen. Furthermore, accurately identifying a 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency/impaired digestive function) constitution often requires palpation. Ultimately, it is a choice between 'convenience' and 'precision.' However, if you fill out the medical questionnaire meticulously and provide detailed information about your current health status, we can still offer significant help remotely. I suggest we start with an online consultation to see if our approach aligns with your needs.
