Q. Will I actually see results if I get herbal medicine prescribed via telemedicine? I'm curious about the experiences of others.

Many of our patients come to us after struggling with severe yo-yo effects from conventional weight loss drugs or experiencing health crashes from extreme fasting. In TKM, these states are often identified as 'Dameum' (痰飮), a condition where metabolic waste accumulates and stagnation occurs. Even through telemedicine, we carefully analyze these symptoms to help revitalize your stagnant metabolism. Some patients find it overwhelming to even begin a diet due to a complete lack of energy. From a TKM perspective, this is often seen as 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or Spleen Deficiency, where the body's ability to generate energy is impaired. Simply suppressing appetite in this state can further deplete the body, which is why a customized prescription to replenish vital energy while managing weight is essential. Additionally, those prone to swelling due to poor blood circulation may have an 'Eohyeol' (瘀血) constitution (blood stasis). For these individuals, incorporating specific herbs that promote circulation significantly increases the perceived effectiveness of the treatment. Ultimately, the key is how accurately your current physical state is identified. Although we are meeting remotely, I approach every consultation with the commitment to analyze your condition thoroughly. Please keep in mind that because constitutions vary greatly from person to person, a specific case or result experienced by another may not apply identically to you.
