Q. I live in Busan; would it be better to receive herbal medicine prescriptions via telemedicine instead of visiting the clinic in person? Who would you recommend this for?

I have personally experienced the pitfalls of extreme fasting driven by sheer willpower—the dizziness and plummeting productivity were overwhelming. Having gone through that struggle, I deeply empathize with the frustration patients feel. Telemedicine prescriptions are particularly recommended for professionals in their 30s to 50s for whom time efficiency is paramount, as well as those who have tried Western weight-loss medications but now wish to restore their body's balance due to side effects or the 'yo-yo' effect. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we don't simply tell you to eat less; we investigate 'why' the weight isn't coming off. We analyze whether there is an accumulation of Phlegm-Fluid (Dameum/痰飮), which is metabolic waste, or if Blood Stasis (Eohyeol/瘀血) is obstructing the circulation of Qi and Blood. For instance, if a patient suffers from Spleen Deficiency (Biheo/脾虛), where digestive function is too weak to produce energy, using a simple appetite suppressant could actually be harmful. Rest assured that telemedicine does not mean a superficial prescription. Through a meticulous medical questionnaire (Munjin), we analyze your constitution and current state to compose the exact herbal ingredients you need. If you want to start your journey with an accurate understanding of your body but cannot visit in person, our telemedicine system is an excellent alternative.
