📝 Detailed Answer
I completely understand how difficult it can be to fit medical appointments into a hectic schedule. However, successful weight loss is not simply about eating less; the key is properly balancing your body's internal state.
Remote consultations are an excellent option for busy professionals who need an efficient way to manage their diet and weight. However, I strongly encourage a clinic visit for those with specific health concerns. For instance, if you suffer from Spleen Deficiency (脾虛, Bi-heo)—characterized by weak digestion and low energy—or significant Phlegm-Fluid Retention (痰飮, Dam-eum)—where the body feels heavy and prone to swelling—a physical examination is essential. In these cases, palpating the pulse is necessary to accurately determine your constitution and prevent side effects.
Similarly, if you suspect Blood Stasis (瘀血, Eo-hyeol)—where poor circulation leads to various pains throughout the body—an in-person diagnosis is far more precise.
If your goal is simple weight management, a remote consultation is convenient. But if you wish to restore your overall systemic health, I suggest we meet in person. Just as a piece of clothing must fit your body perfectly, herbal medicine must be precisely tailored to your constitution to achieve the best possible results.
