Q. Doctor, in what cases do you recommend non-face-to-face diet herbal medicine? Would it be a good fit for me?

I once tried fasting blindly out of sheer willpower, and the dizziness made daily life nearly impossible. Having experienced this 'trial and error' myself, I deeply empathize with my patients' struggles. The core of TKM diet herbal medicine is not simply reducing weight, but clearing the stagnant flow within the body. Those who feel heavy and suffer from severe swelling often have an excess of Dam-eum (phlegm-fluid retention). In such cases, prescriptions that promote metabolism to flush out waste are necessary. Conversely, those with poor digestion and low energy who feel exhausted immediately upon dieting likely suffer from Bi-heo (Spleen deficiency). Using potent stimulants in this state can be harmful, so we focus on supplementing energy while regulating weight. For those with poor blood circulation, cold extremities, or localized fat accumulation, we must first address Eo-hyeol (blood stasis), where turbid blood has stagnated. To summarize, the recommendations are as follows: 1. If you struggle with appetite control and feel metabolic stagnation $ ightarrow$ Focus on promoting metabolism and suppressing appetite. 2. If you have low vitality, tire easily, and have weak digestion $ ightarrow$ A combined approach of Bo-ik (tonifying/supplementing) and regulation. Even via non-face-to-face consultation, I will conduct a detailed medical inquiry to assess your condition. However, for those with underlying medical conditions or high sensitivity to medication, I strongly recommend at least one in-person visit for a precise diagnosis and maximum safety.
