Q. I'm an office worker in Hongdae. I heard it's possible to get herbal weight-loss medicine prescribed via telehealth. Would this be effective for someone like me? Who do you most recommend it to?

A.

If you find it difficult to visit a clinic during work hours, telehealth prescriptions are an excellent option. I especially recommend this to those who have experienced side effects from Western diet medications, such as heart palpitations or insomnia. Personalized herbal medicine focuses on minimizing bodily strain by considering your unique constitution. It is also ideal for those who feel lethargic or physically drained when dieting; these prescriptions are designed to boost vital energy while simultaneously stimulating metabolism.

📝 Detailed Answer

As a practitioner for over 10 years, I have realized that maintaining one's own health is often the hardest task. Once you pass your late 30s, simply skipping meals no longer yields the same results as before. For office workers in the Hongdae area facing similar struggles, I suggest tailored prescriptions based on specific Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) patterns. First, we address 'Spleen Deficiency' (脾虛). This pattern is common in individuals who feel bloated even after small meals and suffer from morning edema. When the Spleen's digestive function is weak, energy levels drop while metabolic waste accumulates. Simply suppressing the appetite in this state can damage the body. Through detailed telehealth consultations, we select medicinal herbs that strengthen the digestive system and resolve swelling. Second, many professionals deal with 'Phlegm-fluid' (痰飮) and 'Blood Stasis' (瘀血) caused by stress-induced overeating. Phlegm-fluid refers to thickened metabolic waste, while Blood Stasis involves stagnant, impure blood. If your internal circulation is blocked, you may experience frequent 'yo-yo effects' or react sensitively to Western drugs. In these cases, herbal medicine that promotes the circulation of Qi and Blood acts as a 'resolver' to lighten the body. Some worry that a remote consultation might be less thorough. However, because we cannot meet in person, I tend to be even more meticulous in tracking your current status. I invite you to think of it as a comfortable conversation where we work together to find the perfect formula for your unique constitution.
