Doctor, is it okay for someone like me to get a non-face-to-face prescription for weight loss herbal medicine? Who do you recommend this for?

I understand the struggle of neglecting health due to a busy schedule; I've experienced the frustration of trying crash diets or harsh medications myself. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), weight loss is not just about 'fast results' but about restoring the 'balance of the body.' I recommend non-face-to-face prescriptions for two main groups. First, those with strong cravings and a heavy, lethargic feeling. In TKM, this is often seen as 'Dameum' (痰飮)—an accumulation of metabolic waste that blocks the circulation of Qi and Blood. For these patients, a customized prescription can be effectively managed via remote consultation. On the other hand, some people experience a total loss of energy or digestive issues as soon as they start dieting. This is likely 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), a deficiency in the Spleen's function, meaning the body cannot produce energy efficiently. Since these patients require prescriptions that boost vitality rather than simply suppressing appetite, I strongly recommend visiting the clinic for a pulse diagnosis and detailed examination. Additionally, some patients suffer from 'Eohyeol' (瘀血), or blood stasis, which hinders circulation and requires specific herbs to resolve. If your struggles are due to 'bodily signals' rather than a 'lack of willpower,' I will help you find the right path, whether through a remote or in-person visit.
