Q. I live in Chungju and find it difficult to visit the clinic every time. Who would you recommend non-face-to-face prescriptions for diet herbal medicine to?

I fully understand the challenges of balancing a professional career with household responsibilities; the effort required to visit a clinic can be overwhelming, sometimes leading patients to give up on their health goals entirely. Depending on your symptoms, remote prescriptions can be a great alternative: First, for those struggling with appetite control: When willpower is high but the body doesn't cooperate, herbal medicine that promotes the circulation of Qi and Blood can be highly effective. Second, for those with depleted energy: In TKM, this is often viewed as Spleen Deficiency (脾虛), where decreased spleen function leads to easy fatigue and poor digestion. For these patients, extreme fasting is counterproductive; instead, we focus on replenishing energy to boost metabolism for healthy weight loss. Third, for those experiencing heaviness and swelling: This is often attributed to the accumulation of Phlegm-fluid (痰飮) or Blood Stasis (瘀血). When waste products accumulate in the body, we first focus on improving circulation based on your specific constitution. While our remote consultations include a thorough medical questionnaire, a physical examination remains the most accurate diagnostic tool. For maximum safety and efficacy, we recommend visiting the clinic once for an initial comprehensive diagnosis, then utilizing remote prescriptions for the maintenance phase.
