Q. I’m curious about the experiences of those who received remote prescriptions for diet herbal medicine in Sejong. What is the actual process like?

Many patients in Sejong seek remote consultations amidst their busy lives with a desperate 'this is my last chance' mindset. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), weight gain is not just about calories; we identify several root causes. First is 'Dameum' (痰飮), or Phlegm-fluid, which refers to metabolic waste accumulated due to poor circulation—much like a clogged drain. Another common cause is 'Biheo' (脾虛), or Spleen Qi Deficiency, where the digestive system is too weak to expend energy, causing the body to store it instead. I recall a patient in her 40s working in Sejong who suffered from 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) due to stress-induced binge eating. In such cases, simply starving leads to fatigue and swelling; instead, we focused on clearing the stagnation and naturally regulating appetite. Conversely, for a postpartum patient with severe Spleen Qi Deficiency, the priority was to boost her vital energy to raise her basal metabolic rate rather than just reducing food intake. Since everyone reacts differently, some may experience temporary palpitations or insomnia during the initial adjustment period. This is why I provide meticulous follow-up care to monitor your progress. Even though it is a non-face-to-face service, I will guide you through your weight loss journey as if you were sitting right beside me in the consultation room.
