Who This Is For

Q. I live near Chang-dong; who would you recommend non-face-to-face prescriptions for diet herbal medicine to?

A.

We recommend our telehealth services for those who have tight schedules but still want a personalized prescription tailored to their specific constitution. It is an effective option for those struggling with uncontrollable appetite or extreme fatigue, though we advise patients with multiple underlying health conditions or those requiring a detailed physical examination to visit the clinic in person for a more accurate diagnosis.

📝 Detailed Answer

Having experienced the struggle of skipping meals during busy periods or turning to late-night snacks due to stress, I truly understand your situation. I recommend non-face-to-face prescriptions for the following cases: First, for those struggling with an uncontrollable appetite. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is not viewed simply as a lack of willpower. It can be caused by blocked energy flow or 'Dameum' (痰飮), a condition where accumulated metabolic waste hinders the circulation of Qi and Blood. We provide customized herbal medicine after a thorough telehealth consultation to address these issues. Second, for those who feel excessively heavy and lethargic. When 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or a deficiency in the Spleen/digestive function, becomes severe, energy production drops, making it difficult to lose weight even with low caloric intake. In such cases, a prescription that boosts vital energy to increase overall metabolism is more effective than simple fasting. Lastly, for those suffering from the yo-yo effect or side effects after using Western diet medications. We recommend our treatment to clear 'Eohyeol' (瘀血)—stagnated blood that impedes circulation—and restore the body's systemic balance. For office workers who desperately need health management but cannot find the time to visit, telehealth is an excellent alternative. However, since an accurate diagnosis is paramount, please provide as much detailed information about your current health status as possible during the consultation.
