I'm inquiring from Andong, so the distance is quite far. How do patients usually react to receiving diet herbal medicine through remote consultations? I'm worried it might not be as effective since I can't visit in person.

It is a pleasure to hear from you in Andong. I deeply empathize with your concerns; even before becoming a Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) practitioner, I believed that herbal medicine should always be prescribed through face-to-face consultations. This is precisely why my remote interviews are exceptionally detailed, often to the point where patients are surprised by the depth of the questions. To give you some examples, I once consulted with a professional in their 40s suffering from chronic fatigue. This patient had severe Spleen Qi Deficiency (Biheo), meaning that simply suppressing their appetite would have depleted their remaining energy. I adjusted the prescription to supplement their Qi while flushing out metabolic waste, which significantly improved their vitality. Another case involved a patient with a Phlegm-fluid (Dameum) constitution who felt constantly heavy and bloated. In such cases, we must resolve Blood Stasis (Eohyeol) to allow the body to feel light again. By investigating everything from your eating habits and bowel movements to specific areas of swelling, we often achieve a level of precision that exceeds a standard brief office visit. While herbal medicine interacts differently with every individual's lifestyle, I am committed to finding the most appropriate prescription through our deep dialogue. Please feel free to start your journey with a comfortable consultation.
