Who This Is For
Q. Doctor, I heard you provide many remote consultations for weight loss herbal medicine. Who are the ideal candidates for this service?
A.
Remote consultations are perfect for busy professionals and parents who cannot easily visit the clinic, as well as those who experienced side effects like palpitations or insomnia from Western diet pills. We take great care in meticulously adjusting herbal prescriptions to suit each patient's specific constitution, ensuring a balanced and healthy weight loss process.
📝 Detailed Answer
Weight loss can be a grueling journey. Many patients struggle with side effects like hand tremors or dizziness from restrictive dieting or strong stimulants. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we focus on two primary types of patients through remote consultations. First are those with 'Spleen Deficiency' (脾虛), who lack energy and have a sluggish metabolism, making it hard to lose weight even when eating less. Here, we prescribe herbs that tonify Qi to boost metabolic function rather than just suppressing appetite. Second are those suffering from 'Phlegm-fluid' (痰飮) or 'Blood Stasis' (瘀血), characterized by frequent bloating and a heavy body feeling. For these patients, we use medicinal herbs to discharge internal waste and improve circulation to make exercise more efficient. If you've been sensitive to Western medications like Saxenda or Wegovy, TKM offers a gentler alternative. We finely tune the strength of your prescription based on your current condition and constitution to ensure a safe, customized experience.
