Q. I see many non-face-to-face prescriptions for weight loss herbal medicine these days. What exactly is the difference between those and visiting a clinic in person?

Early in my career, I mistakenly believed that providing the right medicine was enough. However, after over a decade of practice, I've learned that the causes of weight gain vary immensely by individual. Some patients suffer from Spleen Deficiency (脾虛), where weakened digestive function impairs nutrient absorption and metabolism, while others struggle with Blood Stasis (瘀血), where poor circulation hinders weight loss. Non-face-to-face care typically relies on questionnaires to gauge your general state. While helpful, in-person consultations allow for a much deeper analysis. By performing pulse diagnosis and tongue diagnosis (설진), I can precisely identify the accumulation of Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮)—metabolic waste products—within the body. Although everyone's goal is 'to lose weight,' the specific medicinal herbs required vary significantly based on these internal patterns. I especially recommend in-person visits for those who have experienced extreme fatigue after using chemical diet pills or those struggling with the 'yo-yo effect.' The goal is not just to lower the number on the scale, but to restore collapsed metabolic functions. Starting with an accurate 'map' of your body's condition leads to far better long-term results than starting based on estimates alone.
