Who This Is For

Q. I'm a busy professional working in Dongtan. Who are the best candidates for remote diet herbal medicine consultations?

A.

This is ideal for those who cannot visit the clinic due to busy schedules or those whose health has suffered from extreme dieting. We offer two main approaches: Tonification (Bo) to boost energy for metabolism when you feel drained, and Purgation (Sa) to eliminate waste and reduce edema. Drawing from my own experience with dieting struggles, I prioritize customized prescriptions that match your specific physical condition.

📝 Detailed Answer

Working a sedentary job often leads to unwanted weight gain, and I know firsthand how difficult 'starvation' diets can be. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we focus on the root cause of weight gain rather than just suppressing appetite. For patients who feel chronically fatigued or short of breath—a condition we call Spleen Deficiency (Bi Heo)—the body lacks the 'fire' to burn energy. In these cases, we use tonifying herbs to strengthen metabolism. Conversely, for those who feel heavy and bloated, the cause is often an accumulation of Phlegm-fluid (Dam-eum) or Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol) blocking circulation. Here, we use purging methods to clear these blockages. Our herbal formulas are also an excellent alternative for those who experienced side effects like palpitations or insomnia from Western diet medications. Even via remote consultation, we utilize detailed diagnostic questionnaires to read your body’s signals and restore balance without overstraining your system.
