Who would benefit from non-face-to-face weight loss herbal medicine? I'm wondering if this is right for me.
We recommend this for busy professionals who find it difficult to visit the clinic in person, or those who struggle with dietary control and need expert guidance. However, the approach must vary based on your current physiological state; we need to determine whether you simply wish to reduce weight or if your metabolism has stagnated due to a lack of vital energy (Qi) to ensure the prescription is accurate.
Many people try to lose weight through extreme fasting, but this often leads to dizziness and disrupts daily life. The key is understanding that simply eating less is not always the solution.
In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we look at the root cause. If you are in a state of 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency), characterized by poor digestion and fatigue, you need a prescription that boosts your vital energy and accelerates metabolism rather than one that simply suppresses appetite. Conversely, those with 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid accumulation) or 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis) require a process of detoxifying and clearing obstructions to improve circulation first.
The prescription direction changes based on your situation: if appetite control is the primary struggle, we focus on appetite suppression and metabolic stimulation. If you are experiencing lethargy or a yo-yo effect after using conventional weight loss medication, we recommend a restorative prescription to regain bodily balance.
Non-face-to-face consultation is not just about shipping medication; the core is the detailed communication regarding your current symptoms. Identifying where your body's flow is blocked and receiving a customized prescription is the true starting point for a healthy diet.
