Q. Doctor, who would benefit most from remote weight loss herbal medicine? I'm wondering if it would be a good fit for me.

To be honest, I have also experienced trying to lose weight by simply starving myself out of sheer willpower, which only led to dizziness and disrupted my daily life. Based on that experience, the core of dieting is not just 'eating less,' but rather creating a state where your body can efficiently utilize energy. If you frequently experience swelling and a feeling of heaviness—indicative of 'Dameum' (痰飮, a state where accumulated metabolic waste hinders the circulation of Qi and Blood)—you can efficiently start your management through remote prescriptions. I particularly recommend this to office workers who struggle with appetite control due to work-related stress or those suffering from the yo-yo effect after previous weight loss attempts. However, some cases require more caution. If you have severe 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, a deficiency in the Spleen's function that impairs the transportation and transformation of nutrients) resulting in poor digestion, or if you experience pain caused by 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis), a direct pulse diagnosis is more accurate. While remote prescriptions are convenient, the most important thing is that the medicine is tailored specifically to your body. I suggest we determine which category your condition falls into together. If you are hesitating, feel free to start with a light consultation.
