Q. Doctor, will telemedicine for weight loss herbal medicine be effective for a busy office worker like me? Who would you recommend this service to?

As a practitioner with over a decade of experience, I truly empathize with the struggle against late-night cravings and the exhaustion of extreme dieting. For those who feel chronically fatigued or heavy even after eating very little, telemedicine can be a vital solution. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this state is often diagnosed as 'Spleen Deficiency (Biheo).' When Spleen function is impaired, nutrients are not converted into energy but instead accumulate as metabolic waste. In these cases, we prescribe herbs to tonify the Spleen and boost metabolism. Many patients also carry an accumulation of 'Phlegm-Fluid (Dameum)'—unproductive metabolic waste—or 'Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol)'—stagnant, impure blood. If your circulation is blocked, you may find that even intense exercise leads to exhaustion rather than weight loss. Through a detailed teleconsultation, we identify these internal stagnations. If you have previously suffered from insomnia or dry mouth due to strong medications, please be assured that we prevent the 'yo-yo effect' by carefully adjusting the herbs and dosage according to your unique 'Constitution (Che-jil).' A one-size-fits-all approach is never the answer. Our priority is to restore your internal balance through a meticulous diagnostic process to find the herbs that best suit your body.
