Who This Is For

Q. Doctor, who would benefit most from non-face-to-face diet herbal medicine? Would you recommend it for me?

A.

Not all weight loss medicines are the same. I recommend this for those who struggle with appetite control or cannot visit the clinic due to a busy schedule. However, since prescriptions vary significantly based on your constitution and health status, the most efficient approach is to first accurately assess your body's condition before deciding.

📝 Detailed Answer

Many people attempt extreme fasting out of eagerness, but this often leads to dizziness and a quick return to their original weight. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), the cause of weight gain differs for every individual. First, there are those with a 'Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo, 脾虛)' type, characterized by weak digestive power and easy fatigue. When spleen function declines, energy metabolism drops, making you feel like you gain weight even with minimal intake. These patients require prescriptions that boost metabolic rate. Conversely, some suffer from an accumulation of 'Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum, 痰飮)' or 'Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血),' where waste products build up and blood circulation is impaired. In these cases, rather than simply suppressing appetite, clearing these internal metabolic wastes first is the key to overcoming weight loss plateaus. I recommend this program if: 1. You find it impossible to control cravings through willpower alone $\rightarrow$ I suggest herbal medicine to help regulate appetite. 2. You experienced lethargy or heart palpitations after using Western diet medications $\rightarrow$ A constitution-tailored prescription would be more appropriate. 3. You live outside the Seongbuk-gu area or are too busy to visit the clinic $\rightarrow$ I recommend systematic management via non-face-to-face consultations. Even though the consultation is remote, the prescription is never generic. Through a detailed medical inquiry, we analyze your current state to find the optimal combination of herbs. I want to help you identify exactly which parts of your body are deficient or in excess to achieve the best results.
