Q. Will I actually see results if I get diet herbal medicine prescribed via a remote consultation? I'm curious how other patients usually go through the process.

Patients seeking remote consultations generally fall into two groups: those who cannot find time to visit the clinic, and those who experienced side effects like nausea after using conventional weight-loss medication. In my early clinical experience, I mistakenly thought 'eat less and move more' was the only answer, but I realized that creating an internal environment where weight loss is actually possible is more important. This requires first clearing out internal 'waste.' In Traditional Korean Medicine, this waste is referred to as Eohyeol (瘀血, blood stasis) or Dameum (痰飮, abnormal fluid accumulation). When these waste products accumulate, metabolism slows down, leaving you feeling heavy and dizzy regardless of how little you eat. Specifically, those with Bi-heo (脾虛, Spleen deficiency/impaired digestive function) who resort to extreme fasting often lose muscle mass and vitality rather than fat. Therefore, a remote consultation is not merely about prescribing 'weight loss pills.' The goal is to determine whether you have a Spleen-deficient constitution or a predominance of Dameum. This tailored approach is essential for healthy weight loss without the yo-yo effect. While remote care is convenient, it has limitations; if a more precise diagnosis is required, I will recommend an in-person visit. Ultimately, understanding your body's exact state is the fastest route to success.
