Q. Doctor, who specifically would you recommend non-face-to-face diet herbal medicine for?

A.

I recommend it first for those whose busy daily schedules make visiting a clinic difficult. Depending on your condition, options vary: personalized herbal medicine for those struggling with appetite control, or milder prescriptions for light weight management and edema improvement. However, for those with underlying diseases or severe poor condition, an in-person first visit is safest.

📝 Detailed Answer

I understand how challenging it is to carve out time for a clinic visit during a busy workday; I've experienced that stress myself, so I truly value your time. I recommend non-face-to-face prescriptions for two main groups: first, those experiencing extreme stress due to cravings or 'false hunger,' where herbal medicine can efficiently suppress appetite and boost metabolism. Second, those who feel heavy and suffer from bloating and edema due to frequent overtime and stress, requiring prescriptions that improve circulation. From a Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) perspective, simply eating less isn't always the answer. Some patients suffer from 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid retention), where metabolic waste accumulates and hinders circulation. Others may have 'Bi-heo' (Spleen deficiency), meaning their digestive function is too weak to utilize energy efficiently. Additionally, the presence of 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis) can make weight loss even more difficult. Non-face-to-face care involves identifying these individual constitutions through detailed questionnaires and consultations to tailor the herbal formula. However, if you have cardiovascular disease or are taking multiple medications, it is much more accurate and safe for me to examine you in person. Accurately reading your body's signals is the true starting point of a successful diet.
