Q. I live in Changwon; do I absolutely have to visit the clinic in person? Who would you recommend non-face-to-face diet herbal medicine for?

I completely understand the desire for convenience when life gets hectic; from an efficiency standpoint, non-face-to-face prescriptions are far more convenient. However, Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is like a 'tailored suit,' which is why careful consideration is needed. For office workers with extremely tight schedules who simply cannot find the time to visit, non-face-to-face prescriptions are an excellent alternative. We provide prescriptions based on a thorough consultation to precisely understand your current dietary habits and general condition. On the other hand, I strongly recommend an in-person visit for certain individuals. A prime example is those with severe Spleen Deficiency (脾虛, Bi-heo), characterized by poor digestive function. Taking medication without a precise diagnosis in such cases may lead to further bloating or digestive discomfort. Additionally, those with severe edema caused by an accumulation of Blood Stasis (瘀血, Eo-hyeol) or Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮, Dam-eum) require a direct pulse diagnosis (Jin-maek) for accuracy. Even if symptoms appear similar on the surface, the internal Qi and constitutional energy of every patient are unique. Through my experience, I have learned that the fastest path to results is receiving a prescription perfectly matched to your body's specific needs. If you are unsure which option is right for you, please feel free to inquire. Let's find the best solution together.
