Doctor, who do you recommend remote prescriptions for diet herbal medicine to?
I recommend it to busy professionals who struggle to visit in person or those who feel overwhelmed by hospital visits. Since prescription goals vary based on constitution and health status—whether it is simple weight management or a state involving metabolic decline and edema—I provide customized prescriptions through thorough remote medical interviews and consultations.
Having experienced the struggle of balancing a demanding schedule with health care, I offer remote prescriptions to bridge that gap. I specifically recommend this service to the following groups:
First, busy professionals who need weight management but lack the time to visit. Many of these patients struggle with appetite control or late-night snacking habits. In such cases, I prescribe medicine focused on boosting the basal metabolic rate to soothe 'false hunger.'
Second, those with a constitution prone to heaviness and swelling. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is often referred to as 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid retention), a state where metabolic waste accumulates in the body. If 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis/stagnant blood) is present, circulation is hindered, making it feel as though weight loss has plateaued due to edema. For these patients, it is crucial to include herbs that promote circulation rather than simply suppressing appetite.
Lastly, those with a 'Pi-heo' (Spleen deficiency) type—meaning weak digestive function—who may be hesitant to take herbal medicine. For these individuals, the potency of the medicine must be calibrated with extreme precision, making the consultation process paramount.
Remote prescription does not mean simply shipping medicine. I conduct a rigorous assessment of your current condition to ensure the treatment is safe and effective. If you would like to determine which category your condition falls into, please feel free to reach out.
