Q. I'm finding it difficult to visit the clinic in person. How does the process usually work if I get weight loss herbal medicine prescribed via telemedicine? I'd like to know about actual cases.

A.

Telemedicine is not just about mailing medication. We first conduct a thorough assessment of your current physical condition, dietary habits, and previous weight loss failures via video or phone calls. Many patients seek consultation after experiencing severe palpitations from western medications or giving up due to lack of energy despite high motivation. While individual responses vary, our priority is to restore your body's internal balance before beginning the weight loss process.

📝 Detailed Answer

I have personally experienced the frustration of blindly fasting out of sheer willpower, only to end up so dizzy that daily life became impossible. From that perspective, dieting is not a battle of eating less, but a process of how the body processes metabolic waste. During consultations, many patients report that they 'swell up just by drinking water.' In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is viewed as 'Dameum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention), a state where unnecessary fluids and waste accumulate and block circulation. Furthermore, those with 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency) who have poor digestive functions often lose muscle mass and see a drop in basal metabolic rate when fasting, inevitably leading to the yo-yo effect. Our telemedicine process focuses on identifying these individual characteristics. We examine whether there is 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) hindering circulation or if psychological anxiety is manifesting as appetite. The potency and ingredients of the herbal formula are then adjusted according to the patient's specific condition. Admittedly, telemedicine has limitations since we cannot perform physical palpation (觸診). To compensate, we meticulously analyze detailed questionnaires and consultation notes. Since there is no single answer that works for everyone, the most important step is accurately reading the signals your body is sending. Why not start by gradually aligning the treatment with your body's needs?
