Who This Is For

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

A.

While there is no single right answer, it is ideal for those with busy schedules who find it difficult to visit the clinic, or patients who already know their constitution through prior consultations. However, those with underlying medical conditions or sudden weight changes should visit in person for a precise diagnostic evaluation.

📝 Detailed Answer

I have personally experienced periods of overwhelming workloads where even stepping into a clinic felt like a daunting task. Understanding this struggle is why I offer non-face-to-face consultations as a flexible option. I specifically recommend this path for patients who have previously been treated at Baengnokdam, those who clearly understand their constitutional characteristics and only require adjustments to their herbal formula (Gagam), or professionals who absolutely cannot carve out time for a visit. However, I strongly advise an in-person visit for certain cases. This includes patients with severe Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo), characterized by very poor digestive power, or those with distinct symptoms of Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum) causing a heavy sensation in the body, or Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol) hindering circulation. For these conditions, precise prescriptions require physical diagnostics, such as pulse taking and abdominal palpation. Through my own studies and clinical experience, I've learned that accurately reading the 'current state of the body' is the most critical factor. Rather than starting medication indiscriminately, please consider which category you fall into and let me know. We will work together to find the best approach for you.
