Q. I live in Chuncheon; who would benefit most from receiving non-face-to-face prescriptions for diet herbal medicine?

A.

It is highly recommended for those with busy schedules who find it difficult to visit a clinic, or those struggling with dietary control. Specifically, if you have experienced side effects from conventional weight loss medication or feel a lack of motivation due to low physical energy, we suggest starting with a remote consultation to assess your specific constitution and body condition for a balanced approach to weight loss.

📝 Detailed Answer

I personally understand the struggle of extreme fasting; I once experienced such severe dizziness that it hindered my daily activities. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), weight loss is not viewed simply as 'eating less,' but as addressing the underlying cause of why the body tends to gain weight. For instance, those with a 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention) constitution, where metabolic stagnation causes waste to accumulate, require prescriptions that promote circulation. Conversely, those in a 'Bi-heo' (Spleen deficiency) state—characterized by poor digestive function and low energy—may damage their health if they restrict their diet too aggressively. In such cases, we recommend reinforcing vitality while gradually losing weight. Herbal medicine is also beneficial for those experiencing 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis), where poor circulation leads to swelling and a feeling of heaviness. For these patients, clearing stagnant flow is far more efficient than using simple appetite suppressants. Non-face-to-face consultations are an excellent alternative for residents of Chuncheon who struggle to find time due to work or childcare. However, since constitutions and underlying conditions vary by individual, a detailed consultation is essential to determine whether your body currently needs 'emptying' (detoxification) or 'filling' (tonification) first. We aim to help you find a sustainable pace that fits your unique body type.
