Q. Doctor, who specifically would benefit most from non-face-to-face diet herbal medicine?

Having worked in a professional environment myself, I understand that finding time to visit a clinic during a lunch break requires a significant commitment. This is why I offer non-face-to-face prescriptions. However, this approach is not the ideal solution for everyone. First, it is highly suitable for those who say, "I simply cannot control my appetite." In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is not viewed as a lack of willpower, but as a sign of accumulated 'Dam-eum' (痰飮)—a state where metabolic waste products build up and block the flow of energy (Qi). For these patients, non-face-to-face consultations are often sufficient to determine the right treatment direction. Second, it is beneficial for those suffering from the yo-yo effect or side effects after using conventional pharmaceutical diet pills. Rapid weight loss often leads to 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), a deficiency in Spleen function that severely weakens digestive capabilities. In such cases, instead of restrictive fasting, we must focus on replenishing vital energy to boost metabolism. Conversely, some patients require more caution. This includes those with severe insomnia, chronic anemia, or other underlying health conditions. If herbal medicine is administered incorrectly in these states, it can lead to lethargy or dizziness. Through my clinical experience, I have found that when the body is highly sensitive, performing a physical pulse diagnosis (Maek-jin) is significantly more accurate. If you wish to start your journey lightly and conveniently, non-face-to-face treatment is an excellent choice. However, if you want to precisely map out your body's unique internal balance, please feel free to visit the clinic in person.
