I live in Dongducheon and it's difficult to visit the clinic every time. Who would you recommend non-face-to-face diet herbal medicine prescriptions for?

We recommend this for busy professionals or those who find visiting the clinic burdensome. While non-face-to-face consultations are sufficient for those whose primary goal is appetite control, we advise an in-person visit for those suffering from severe edema or significant depletion of vital energy (Qi) to ensure a safe and accurate constitutional diagnosis.

I completely understand the desire for the convenience of home-based care. However, the core of Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is 'personalized treatment,' so the suitability of non-face-to-face prescriptions depends on your specific condition. Non-face-to-face prescriptions are an excellent choice for those who struggle primarily with strong food cravings or sudden weight gain. In these cases, we can effectively guide your diet and lifestyle while supporting the process with herbal medicine. Conversely, we strongly recommend an in-person visit if you exhibit clear signs of Dam-eum (痰飮, the accumulation of metabolic waste/phlegm causing swelling) or Eohyeol (瘀血, blood stasis where stagnant blood hinders circulation), which often makes the body feel heavy and sluggish. In such cases, palpating the pulse and performing a physical examination are essential for an accurate prescription. The same applies to patients with Bi-heo (脾虛, Spleen deficiency), where digestive function is weak. Simply suppressing appetite without considering this can lead to a further drop in energy, causing dizziness or extreme fatigue. For those with low foundational stamina, restorative medicinal herbs must be integrated into the formula. Ultimately, 'tailoring to your body' is more important than 'speed and convenience.' Consider whether you simply need appetite control or if your constitution requires clearing accumulated waste first. If you are unsure, please feel free to contact us for a preliminary consultation.
