Q. How does the process for remote diet herbal medicine in Chungju work, and what kind of changes do people usually experience?
A.
I remember when I used to starve myself to lose weight, only to end up feeling dizzy and unproductive. Many patients share these concerns before their first remote consultation, but they feel reassured after our thorough phone assessment of their physical constitution. Most report that their appetite becomes much easier to manage and that they feel lighter as bodily swelling subsides. However, because everyone has different lifestyle habits, the rate of change varies, and it is important to remember that results are not identical for everyone.
📝 Detailed Answer
Even with remote prescriptions, we do not simply ship out medicine. I personally call each patient to conduct a detailed assessment of their current health status. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we categorize the root causes of weight gain into several types. For example, if you are in a state of 'Spleen Deficiency' (Biheo, 脾虛), your body fails to utilize energy efficiently, leading to the accumulation of metabolic waste. Another culprit is the buildup of 'Phlegm-fluid' (Dameum, 痰飮), which hinders healthy circulation. I once treated a patient in their 40s who suffered from stress-induced binge eating due to 'Qi Stagnation' (Giche, 氣滯); in that case, the prescription focused on unblocking the flow of energy. For postpartum patients struggling with severe edema, we prioritize clearing 'Blood Stasis' (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血) and improving circulation. Having experienced the trial and error of improper dieting myself, I treat every patient's concerns as my own. Our goal is to boost metabolic efficiency rather than just suppressing appetite, thereby breaking the cycle of the yo-yo effect for good. Since reactions vary by constitution and diet, please be as honest as possible about your lifestyle patterns during our consultation.
