Q. I'm looking to get a non-face-to-face prescription for weight loss herbal medicine in Yeosu. Would you recommend this for someone like me?

I have personal experience with the frustration of trying extreme fasting or overly potent medications, only to end up feeling dizzy and exhausted. Having been through those trials myself—despite being a practitioner—I deeply understand the feeling of being lost. Starvation is never the correct answer. Non-face-to-face prescriptions require a meticulous approach tailored to your specific constitution and circumstances. First, for those with poor digestion and chronic fatigue, we examine if you are in a state of 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo, 脾虛). When the Spleen's function weakens, metabolism drops, making it harder to lose weight. In such cases, boosting your overall energy is a priority over simple appetite suppression. If you experience heavy swelling and a feeling of stagnation, it is likely due to the accumulation of 'Phlegm-Fluid' (Dam-eum, 痰飮) or 'Blood Stasis' (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血). Phlegm-Fluid refers to the stagnation of metabolic waste, while Blood Stasis indicates impaired blood circulation. For these patterns, I recommend prescriptions that clear the pathways and improve systemic circulation. Furthermore, for those who experienced side effects from Western diet pills—such as heart palpitations or insomnia—the buffering and balancing effects of Traditional Korean Medicine can be of great help. The core objective is to accurately identify why your body is currently resisting weight loss. Even through a remote consultation, a thorough medical history intake allows us to provide highly customized management. Rather than stressing over it alone, I encourage you to start with a light-hearted consultation.
