Q I work in Dong-gu, Incheon and want to get hyperlipidemia management, but it's hard to find time during the day.
A Hyperlipidemia management usually involves regular visits about a month apart to review changes in weight and diet along with progress. Visit times and herbal medicine schedules can be arranged around your work schedule, so we recommend booking ahead to be seen without waiting.
Detailed Answer
Lipid management works better with regular visits that adjust the plan based on changes in weight and diet, rather than a single prescription. Progress is usually checked at about monthly intervals, and lipid retesting is typically done about every 3 months. Herbal medicine is arranged in a form and schedule that's easy to take even during a busy workday.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Dongjedang plans visits and medication schedules with the timing of office workers and business owners in the Dong-gu, Incheon area in mind. In the first visit, we identify where metabolism has stalled and how much excess has built up through pulse diagnosis and consultation, and after that we guide short follow-up visits to manage weight and numbers together.
