📝 Detailed Answer
I fully understand the struggle; there was a time in my own life when I was so overwhelmed with work that I neglected my own health. Traveling from Tongyeong every time is no small feat. That is why I recommend remote prescriptions for the following cases:
First, for those who feel constantly heavy due to declined metabolic function. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is viewed as a state of 'Dameum' (痰飮), where accumulated metabolic waste obstructs the body's flow. Rather than indiscriminate fasting, prioritizing a prescription that aids circulation is key, making a detailed consultation to determine your constitution essential.
Second, for those struggling with appetite control due to psychological stress. When energy becomes stagnant—a state known as 'Giche' (氣滯)—it often leads to chest tightness and intense 'false hunger.' This mechanism can be accurately identified through a detailed medical history interview, whether conducted in person or remotely.
Lastly, for those worried about side effects due to weak digestive capacity. Patients in a state of 'Bi-heo' (脾虛), or Spleen deficiency, often give up on herbal medicine if the formula is too strong, as it can cause nausea. Having experienced similar dizziness in the past, I provide extra care with step-by-step adjusted prescriptions for these individuals.
Ultimately, the core is verifying if the medicine is 'right for your body.' Remote consultation does not mean receiving a one-size-fits-all product; I will configure a prescription tailored specifically to your current state after a thorough consultation. If you are hesitant, feel free to start with a light initial consultation.
