📝 Detailed Answer
I completely understand how 'just getting to the clinic' can feel like a daunting task; like many of you, I also balance a demanding professional life where self-care sometimes takes a backseat. This is why leveraging the efficiency of remote prescriptions can be very beneficial.
I specifically recommend this for two types of patients:
First, those who feel heavy due to the accumulation of metabolic waste. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is referred to as 'Dam-eum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention). When waste products stagnate, the basal metabolic rate drops. In such cases, herbal medicine tailored to improve your constitution can effectively 'wake up' your metabolism.
Second, those prone to binge eating due to psychological stress. Sudden stress can obstruct the flow of Qi, leading to 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) or a state of 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency). When Spleen function is weakened, energy efficiency decreases, making the body more prone to gaining weight.
However, because every individual's constitution and health status differ, there is no 'one-size-fits-all' remedy. We conduct thorough remote consultations on your eating habits and general condition before dispensing customized herbal medicine. If you are concerned about potential side effects such as severe palpitations or insomnia, I recommend visiting the clinic once for an accurate constitutional diagnosis before transitioning to remote management.
