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

A.

We recommend telemedicine for those who find it difficult to visit during weekdays or feel burdened by clinic visits. However, this is not a simple medicine delivery service; we conduct thorough medical interviews and consultations first to ensure the prescription is tailored to your specific body type.

📝 Detailed Answer

As a practitioner, I understand how inconvenient it can be to carve out time for a clinic visit amidst a busy schedule. That is why we operate a telemedicine system for those who truly cannot make it in person. I specifically recommend this for two types of patients: First, those whose daily lives are disrupted by uncontrollable appetite. In TKM, this is often caused by 'Dam-eum' (痰飮), where accumulated metabolic waste obstructs the body's metabolism. Through a remote consultation, we can accurately analyze your dietary habits and symptoms to provide a customized prescription. Second, those who feel completely depleted of energy after previous extreme dieting. In Traditional Korean Medicine, this is referred to as 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or Spleen Deficiency. When the function of the Spleen is weakened, digestive power drops and cravings for sweets increase. For these patients, we prescribe medicine that boosts vital energy while managing weight, rather than simply suppressing appetite. However, if you have severe 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血) symptoms—such as frequent bruising or significantly blocked blood circulation—a physical visit for 'Maek-jin' (pulse diagnosis) is recommended for a more accurate assessment. If you are unsure which category you fall into, why not start with a light initial consultation?
