Q. I live in Geoje—is it common to get herbal diet medicine via remote consultation? I'd like to know more about the actual process and some real-life examples.

A.

Yes, many patients from distant areas like Geoje receive herbal weight loss prescriptions through remote consultations. You might worry about missing a physical pulse diagnosis, but we conduct thorough phone interviews to assess your condition accurately. Having personally experienced the dizziness of extreme fasting, I understand your concerns. This process is about restoring your metabolic rate rather than forced starvation. Since prescriptions are tailored to the individual, let’s start with a detailed consultation.

📝 Detailed Answer

To be honest, even as a practitioner, I’ve had my share of failed diets. I’ve tried starving and following every trend, only to end up irritable and suffering from the yo-yo effect. This is why I truly empathize with my patients. Remote treatment is never a 'shortcut.' For instance, Patient A, an office worker in Geoje, suffered from 'Blood Stasis' (Eohyeol) caused by stress, which severely blocked her circulation. When these waste products accumulate, the body feels heavy and fatigue persists despite rest. Another case, Patient B, showed 'Spleen Deficiency' (Biheo), leading to poor digestion, swelling, and low energy. For such individuals, starving is the fastest way to ruin their health. In these cases, I focus on prescriptions that discharge 'Phlegm-Fluid' (Dameum)—sticky internal waste—while replenishing vital Qi. Herbal medicine isn't just an appetite suppressant; it’s a restorative aid that recovers your body's broken balance. While the pace of change varies by constitution and habits, I find it most rewarding when patients tell me they feel reassured by my detailed questioning. Even from a distance, I will examine your condition as if I were right beside you, focusing on a journey that truly respects your body.
