Q. I live in Geoje and it's hard for me to visit the clinic in person. Who would benefit most from non-face-to-face diet herbal medicine prescriptions?

As a practitioner, I also deal with a hectic daily schedule, so I truly empathize with the difficulty of traveling long distances. Non-face-to-face prescription is not just about shipping medicine; it is a process of identifying where the balance of your body has been disrupted. First, it is highly effective for those with a 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo, 脾虛) constitution, characterized by low energy and poor digestion. When spleen function weakens, metabolism slows down, leading to easy bloating and weight gain even with minimal intake. For these individuals, extreme fasting is counterproductive; weight loss must be achieved while simultaneously boosting overall vitality. Conversely, some patients suffer from 'Phlegm-Fluid' (Dameum, 痰飮)—the accumulation of metabolic waste—or 'Blood Stasis' (Eohyeol, 瘀血)—where blood circulation is obstructed. While the outward appearance of weight gain may look similar, the internal causes are entirely different. Phlegm-fluid often manifests as a heavy, sluggish feeling in the body, whereas blood stasis can cause localized swelling or aching pain. If you have struggled with various methods or suffered from heart palpitations and insomnia due to potent chemical stimulants, a more delicate, customized approach is essential. Carefully analyzing your current condition through a remote consultation to create a tailored prescription is the key to sustainable health management. Please feel free to reach out without hesitation.
