Q. I live near Banpo; is it okay to get a prescription for diet herbal medicine via telemedicine instead of visiting the clinic in person? Who do you recommend this for?

A.

I recommend telemedicine for those with demanding schedules or those who feel psychologically burdened by clinic visits. However, if you have underlying medical conditions or are in a high-risk group requiring a precise physical examination, an in-person visit is prioritized. We do not simply ship medicine; we ensure a tailored prescription based on your constitution through thorough non-face-to-face consultations.

📝 Detailed Answer

Having experienced professional life myself, I understand how stressful it can be to carve out time during a lunch break to visit a clinic. That is why we offer telemedicine prescriptions. I specifically recommend this for office workers struggling with inconsistent diets and high work-related stress. If you feel lethargic due to 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency, leading to impaired digestive function) or feel heavy due to the accumulation of 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid retention, an abnormal accumulation of bodily fluids), we can effectively determine the treatment direction through remote consultation alone. However, please note that if you have experienced severe yo-yo effects in the past or have underlying conditions such as hypertension or diabetes that require a precise diagnosis, an initial in-person visit is advised. In cases where 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis, stagnant blood) is severe and circulation is blocked, pulse diagnosis (Maek-jin) and abdominal palpation (Bok-jin) are essential. Through my own studies and experience, I've learned that dieting is ultimately about restoring the body's internal balance. Rather than simply starving yourself, it is crucial to understand the mechanism of why your body is currently prone to storing energy. I am committed to resolving those concerns with you, even through a virtual consultation.
