Q. I live near Banpo; would it be okay to get a prescription for diet herbal medicine via remote consultation instead of visiting the clinic? Who do you recommend this for?

I completely understand the desire to handle everything from home, especially when overwhelmed by a busy professional life. Diet herbal medicine is not merely about suppressing appetite; it is a process of clearing waste products from the body, which requires a meticulous approach. I recommend our services based on your specific situation: First, remote consultations are sufficient for office workers who are generally healthy without underlying diseases or those who are already well-aware of their own physical constitution. However, I strongly recommend visiting the clinic if you experience symptoms of 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency, where digestive function is weakened) or severe 'Dam-eum' (Phlegm-Fluid Retention, where metabolic waste stagnates in the body, causing heaviness and swelling). A physical examination and pulse diagnosis are essential to precisely adjust the composition and dosage of the herbal ingredients. Furthermore, if you have experienced side effects such as palpitations or insomnia when using potent diet medications in the past, it is safer to visit initially. We need to verify if there is 'Eo-hyeol' (Blood Stasis, a condition of impaired blood circulation) to calibrate the strength of the medicine. The most important factors are safety and efficiency. If your current situation makes visiting difficult, feel free to start with a remote consultation. You can always visit us later if you experience unfamiliar bodily reactions or feel that more precise management is necessary. The most important thing is that we work together to find the best fit for your body.
