Q. I work near Sindorim and find it hard to visit the clinic on weekdays, so I'm considering Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic's non-face-to-face diet herbal prescription. I'd like to know from those who have actually received it: what is the usual process, and what did you experience?

Weekdays are hard to move around—I get dizzy just trying to schedule appointments. That's why non-face-to-face inquiries are steady. Looking at actual patients, they broadly fall into two categories. First are those who used Wegovy or Saxenda and then develop poor digestion, a full stomach but with difficulty passing stools. In TKM terms, this often involves spleen deficiency (脾虚) with phlegm-fluid (痰飲) accumulation. When spleen function weakens, it fails to transport water properly, leaving dampness that causes heaviness and edema. Second are those who have repeated diet failures over years—their bodies tend to be cold, with poor blood circulation, darkish skin, or severe menstrual pain. This pattern involves blood stasis (瘀血) tangled with phlegm. When waste accumulates internally, metabolism slows and weight fluctuates. However, these are just two common patterns we see—not everyone is like this. Even with non-face-to-face, we can assess constitution through tongue photos and questionnaires, but an in-person visit with pulse and tongue diagnosis is more accurate. Feel free to consult without pressure.
