What makes LIMDA different

01

From head to toe, in one place.

Menopause, sleep, weight, pain, skin — we never treat them separately, but as one person’s body, examined as a whole.

02

We don’t just chase symptoms.

Beyond easing symptoms, our care looks for where those symptoms began.

03

Programs designed by our director, trained at Kyung Hee University College of Korean Medicine.

Every session runs with 1:1 consultation and care.

04

No one-size-fits-all herbal prescriptions.

After reading your body through pulse diagnosis and consultation, each formula is compounded 1:1 at our partner dispensary. Prescriptions come 15 days at a time — adjusted as your body changes.

05

Our doctors and all staff speak English.

A Chinese-speaking doctor is on site — no interpreter booking needed.

06

Private 1:1 care · Reservations recommended · Walk-ins welcome.

Book ahead to skip the wait — or just walk in. We’ll fit you in between appointments; there may be a short wait. Registered with Busan City for international patients · Wellness partner for Park Hyatt Busan staff (MOU) · 1 min walk.

FAQ

Yes, of course. LIMDA treats what hurts — but just as importantly, we read the early signals your body sends before they become illness: tiring easily, heavy digestion, sleep growing lighter. We read your pulse, lifestyle, posture, and complexion together, and explain where your body stands today. Even without a specific symptom, if you feel you haven't been quite yourself lately, that is the best time to start.

We never ask you to stop your medication abruptly. We first look at what you take and why, and where your body is struggling, then raise your body's own resilience with herbal medicine and acupuncture that ease that burden. Any reduction or adjustment is arranged to proceed step by step, always in consultation with the doctor who prescribed it — LIMDA's role is to help your body hold up well through that process. The pace and extent differ from person to person.

Being new is actually a good place to start. LIMDA's Bo-yak is not a one-recipe-for-everyone tonic — through pulse reading and consultation, we read what your body lacks and what runs in excess, and compose a prescription matched to you alone. We explain clearly what it is for, for how long, and how to take it, so it's perfectly fine to feel unfamiliar. You can also begin lightly with our Daily and Delight Bo-yak lines.

Yes. LIMDA is registered with Busan City as a designated medical institution for international patients, and all practitioners and staff can consult and communicate in English. A Chinese-speaking doctor is on site, so no interpreter booking is needed. We assist with the whole journey — booking, consultation, payment, and any documents you need. If you are coming from abroad, reach us by WhatsApp or email before your visit and we will guide you on schedule, costs, and what to prepare.

Fees vary with your condition and prescription. After your first consultation, we walk you through the recommended program and expected costs transparently — non-covered fees are posted in the clinic and on our Fee Schedule page. It's perfectly fine to come for a consultation only. International patients go through the same diagnosis and treatment process as Korean patients — same doctor, same consultation depth, same prescriptions.

You can reach us on WhatsApp, through the Contact us button at the bottom right of this page, or book directly via Google Maps. Phone reservations are also welcome. Walk-ins are welcome too. A Chinese-speaking doctor is on site, so no interpreter booking is needed.

We accept cash and major credit cards, including internationally issued cards. If you need documents for travel insurance or reimbursement claims, we are happy to help with the paperwork.

In most cases, yes. Our herbal medicine comes in individual pouches that are easy to carry and store. Customs regulations vary by country, so we recommend checking your destination's rules — and if needed, we can prepare an ingredient list and documentation for customs.

Enter through GATE 3 of the iPark parking lot and, facing the building, take the LEFT entrance. On the kiosk press C1 or C2 and the barrier opens; go down to the underground lot, pass one more barrier, and park in the PURPLE zone, spot R5 or R6. Take the arcade elevator to the 1st floor.

Yes. Walk-ins are welcome, including on Saturdays (09:00–17:00). We see you between booked appointments, so there may be a short wait. Booking ahead (phone/WhatsApp +82-10-7925-6248) means no wait.

Yes. A Chinese-speaking doctor is on site, so you can consult in Chinese without booking an interpreter.

No. LimDIET uses no appetite suppressants. Rather than starving, the program uses two meals a day within an 8-hour eating window to trigger the body's own autophagy, and meal order and pace to support natural GLP-1 release. The herbal medicine is prepared 1:1 for your constitution at a partner dispensary, in 15-day prescriptions; after 15 days we reassess your changed condition and prescribe again.

If you wish, the doctor who first saw you follows your progress. If another doctor sees you because of scheduling, they review your records and previous consultations, so you never have to retell your story from the beginning. All programs run on standards designed by the director.

Before any treatment starts, we explain why it is needed, roughly how many sessions to try, and when we will reassess. We do not recommend treatment that your condition that day does not call for. Non-covered fees are posted in the clinic and on the fee page of this site, so you can check before your visit.
