Q. I’m an office worker near Seolleung Station. Who would you recommend non-face-to-face (telemedicine) herbal weight loss prescriptions for?

Working near Teheran-ro often means the day passes in the blink of an eye, leaving little time for self-care. For those who want to start a diet but find it impossible to visit a clinic before closing, telemedicine is a highly effective alternative. First, it is recommended for those with 'Spleen Deficiency' (脾虛). When the Spleen's function weakens, one might feel bloated even after small meals and find it difficult to lose weight. In these cases, excessive fasting is counterproductive. Through remote consultation, we provide prescriptions that restore digestive strength to improve both weight loss and daily energy. Second, it is useful for those suffering from 'Phlegm-Fluid' (痰飮) symptoms, such as a heavy body and frequent swelling. This indicates blocked metabolism due to accumulated waste. We prescribe easy-to-take formulations that improve the body’s flow even during a busy workday. Lastly, for those who experienced palpitations or insomnia from Western diet pills, Traditional Korean Medicine views this as an accumulation of 'Fire' (火). By delicately adjusting herbs to soothe this internal heat based on your individual constitution, we help you continue your weight loss journey without these discomforts. While an in-person visit is advised for those with complex underlying conditions, telemedicine is a perfect starting point for busy professionals to begin their health journey step by step.
