Q. I work near Yeouido and have a very tight schedule. Would you recommend getting a prescription for weight loss herbal medicine via a non-face-to-face consultation?

A.

I highly recommend this option for those who cannot find the time to visit the clinic in person. We ensure a thorough consultation to accurately assess your physical condition. Non-face-to-face prescriptions are particularly effective for those struggling with uncontrollable appetite, recurring yo-yo effects leading to extreme fatigue, or side effects from Western medical weight loss drugs.

📝 Detailed Answer

Having experienced professional life myself, I understand how challenging it is to fit a medical appointment into a one-hour lunch break, especially in a busy district like Yeouido. Non-face-to-face prescriptions are a practical alternative, though they are most suitable for specific cases. First, for those whose daily lives are disrupted by uncontrollable appetite: In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is not seen simply as a lack of willpower. Rather, it is often viewed as a result of 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention/metabolic waste) or poor circulation of Qi and Blood. In such cases, herbal medicine tailored to your constitution can help boost your metabolic function. Second, for those who have experienced a crash in energy and digestive failure due to repeated dieting: This is often referred to as 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency). When the Spleen function is weakened, nutrient absorption and energy production are impaired. Instead of further fasting, it is crucial to restore your vital energy first to ensure a smooth weight loss process. Lastly, for those suffering from nausea or severe lethargy after using Western medications like Saxenda or Wegovy: These patients often require a process to resolve 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis/stagnant blood) and restore the body's overall internal balance. Even with a remote consultation, a detailed medical history intake and consultation are essential to accurately determine your current state. I encourage you to start with a light consultation rather than struggling with these concerns alone.
