Q. How long does it usually take to have a remote consultation and receive herbal weight loss medicine in Gwangju? I want to start as soon as possible now that I've made up my mind.

I truly understand your passion for starting your weight loss journey. Typically, it takes about 2 to 3 business days (excluding weekends) to receive your medicine after the consultation. First, we conduct a thorough remote consultation via phone to determine if your weight gain is due to Spleen Deficiency (Biheo), where low digestive power leads to weight gain, or Phlegm-retention (Dameum), caused by the accumulation of metabolic wastes. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, we select specific herbs and begin dispensing them according to your unique condition. We do not ship pre-made medicine; each batch is custom-made. For instance, herbs that resolve Blood Stasis (Eohyeol) to improve circulation and boost metabolism must be balanced carefully based on your current state. You will notice changes in stages: the first 1–3 days are for adaptation and appetite control; weeks 1–4 are the intensive weight loss phase where waste products are expelled and you feel lighter; and after one month, you enter the stabilization phase where your metabolism stays elevated and your body constitution is improved. I understand the urge to start tomorrow, but since this is a significant process of recalibrating your body's metabolism, we need time to prepare it with the utmost care and sincerity.
