Q. Doctor, who exactly is the non-face-to-face diet herbal medicine for? Do you think it would be right for me?

A.

Not all diet medicines are the same. I recommend this for those who struggle with food cravings, have a very low basal metabolic rate, or cannot visit the clinic due to a busy work schedule. However, since prescriptions vary based on whether you have a weak digestive system with low energy or a constitution prone to swelling and heaviness, an accurate assessment of your current condition is the most important first step.

📝 Detailed Answer

I have personally experienced the frustration of trying to lose weight through extreme fasting, which only led to dizziness and a total loss of focus at work. Based on that experience, I believe the key to dieting is not simply eating less, but 'flipping the metabolic switch' of your body. I generally categorize patients into two main types for these prescriptions: First, there are those whose bodies feel heavy and prone to swelling. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is referred to as 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention). This state occurs when metabolic waste and unnecessary fluids accumulate in the body; therefore, prescriptions that promote circulation and remove excess fluid are most effective. Conversely, some patients experience low energy and poor digestion. This is known as 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency), where a weakened Spleen function leads to low energy efficiency. If a strong stimulant is used for these individuals, their vitality may drop further, leading them to give up quickly. In such cases, a supportive prescription to first boost metabolic capacity is essential. I also carefully recommend this to those who suffered from heart palpitations or insomnia while using conventional pharmaceutical diet pills. Herbal medicine allows for the meticulous adjustment of medicinal ingredients to suit an individual's specific constitution and current condition. Non-face-to-face treatment does not mean simply shipping medicine. It involves a thorough medical interview and consultation to accurately distinguish whether your body is currently experiencing 'Dameum' or 'Bi-heo.' Understanding your exact status is the only way to ensure a healthy diet without the yo-yo effect.
