Q. Doctor, who would benefit most from a remote prescription for weight loss herbal medicine?

A.

I recommend it for those too busy with work to visit a clinic in person, or those who have hit a weight loss plateau despite dieting. It is especially suitable for those who suffered from extreme fatigue due to starvation or experienced poor condition after using pharmaceutical diet pills. However, if you have a chronic illness or a distinct constitutional imbalance, we must determine the prescription direction through a thorough consultation first.

📝 Detailed Answer

Before becoming a doctor, I also struggled with 'trial and error'—thinking dieting meant only starving or eating nothing but chicken breast. This only damaged my body and led to a rapid yo-yo effect. For those hesitant about remote prescriptions, I categorize the ideal candidates into three groups based on their condition: First, those who cannot control their appetite. There are certain areas where willpower alone isn't enough. In such cases, we check if 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention) has accumulated, causing metabolic stagnation, and prescribe medicine to resolve it. Second, those with depleted energy. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), this is often viewed as 'Bi-heo' (Spleen deficiency). When the digestive system is weak, even slight fasting can lead to dizziness and lethargy. For these patients, aggressive appetite suppressants can be harmful; instead, we focus on boosting energy while shedding body fat. Third, those with poor circulation and a heavy feeling in the body. When 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis) persists, edema worsens, and it feels as though the weight simply will not budge. Incorporating herbs that promote blood circulation is far more effective for this group. Remote prescription is not about simply mailing out medicine. I carefully assess where your current physical state stands and adjust the formula accordingly. If visiting the clinic is difficult, I suggest starting with a remote consultation to accurately identify your body's condition.
