Q. Can I get a prescription for diet herbal medicine via remote consultation from Hwaseong?

I completely understand that traveling from Hwaseong to our clinic can be a significant burden, which is why we have established a remote prescription system. The primary advantages are the savings in time and cost, allowing you to manage your health amidst a hectic work schedule and reducing the psychological barrier to starting your diet. However, there are certain limitations. Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) fundamentally relies on physical examinations such as pulse diagnosis (Maek-jin) and tongue diagnosis (Seol-jin). Through a screen, it is more challenging to precisely assess the extent of Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol) or Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum)—metabolic waste products that often hinder weight loss. In particular, if you are experiencing Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo), where digestive capacity is significantly lowered, the reaction to specific medicinal herbs must be monitored very closely. As a practitioner, I feel a slight sense of caution when I cannot physically examine a patient's condition. Ultimately, it is a choice between convenience and precision. I suggest starting lightly with a remote consultation, and once you begin to notice changes in your body, visit the clinic for a detailed constitutional adjustment. Please choose the method that best fits your current situation.
