Q. What is it generally like for people in Siji who receive non-face-to-face prescriptions for diet herbal medicine?

A.

Since every individual's constitution (Sasang type) differs, experiences vary. Generally, patients appreciate the convenience of reduced clinic visits while experiencing personalized effects such as appetite suppression and reduction of edema. Some may experience mild palpitations, while others report improved sleep, highlighting why a detailed remote consultation and medical history taking are essential.

📝 Detailed Answer

Many people attempt aggressive fasting, only to end up feeling dizzy and depleted of energy. True weight loss is not simply about eating less, but about clearing stagnation within the body to restore metabolic balance. Many patients come to me after struggling with the 'yo-yo effect' from conventional diet pills or feeling too exhausted to continue. In these cases, I focus on treating 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention) and 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis). Dameum refers to accumulated metabolic waste, and Eohyeol refers to stagnant blood; when these accumulate, metabolism slows down, making it difficult to lose weight regardless of caloric intake. Additionally, some patients suffer from 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency), where digestive function is weakened, yet cravings increase. Applying strong appetite suppressants to such patients can further damage their health. Therefore, even in non-face-to-face prescriptions, I meticulously analyze the patient's digestive state, sleep patterns, and degree of edema. While remote consultations offer great convenience, I always recommend an in-person visit for pulse diagnosis (Jin-maek) at least once to ensure the most accurate assessment. Balancing the body's internal environment is the true starting point for healthy and sustainable weight loss.
