Q. There are so many remote diet herbal medicine services these days; what is the difference between those and coming all the way to Sejong for an in-person consultation?

I completely understand the temptation of remote services when life gets hectic. However, in my clinical experience, patients who report simple 'fatigue' often present with severe Eohyeol (瘀血, blood stasis), which is visible in their complexion—something a screen cannot fully capture. TKM does not simply focus on reducing the number on the scale; we investigate why your body became prone to weight gain in the first place. For example, if a patient suffers from Bi-heo (脾虛, Spleen Deficiency), digestive efficiency drops and metabolic waste accumulates. These nuances are difficult to capture via a questionnaire and require abdominal palpation and pulse diagnosis for an accurate assessment. Furthermore, the herbal composition must change entirely depending on where Dameum (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention/metabolic waste) is stagnating in the body. Some patients need to prioritize improving circulation, while others must first boost their vital energy (Qi). This subtle difference determines the long-term sustainability of your diet. This doesn't mean remote care is inherently bad, but if you want to accurately read your body's state and set the right direction, I strongly recommend an in-person visit. Through my own studies and trials, I've learned that an 'accurate diagnosis' is actually the fastest shortcut to your goal. Let's work together to find the method that fits you best.
