Q. I want to get a prescription for weight loss herbal medicine via telehealth in Gwangju. How long will it take to receive the medicine?

I believe that the time spent preparing the medicine should never be compromised to ensure the highest quality and efficacy. Rather than simply mixing ingredients, this is a process of crafting a formula specifically tailored to your unique constitution. First, I conduct a thorough telehealth consultation to assess your current state. I look beyond just the number on the scale to evaluate the presence of 'Dameum' (痰飮, the accumulation of metabolic waste/phlegm) and 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis). If a patient has low energy, prescribing a generic appetite suppressant without considering 'Biheo' (脾虛, deficiency of the Spleen/digestive function) could exacerbate fatigue and health issues. After the prescription is determined, we move to the preparation stage using carefully selected medicinal herbs. This process generally takes 3 to 7 days. I encourage you to view this period as a time for your body to prepare for an increase in metabolic rate. Once you receive the medicine, the first few days are an adaptation period. After 1 to 2 weeks, you will begin to feel your body becoming lighter. Rather than rushing into an unsustainable regimen, aligning with your body's natural rhythm is the key to achieving long-term results without the 'yo-yo' effect. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
