Treatment Duration

Q. How many days will it take to receive my diet herbal medicine after the consultation? I'm highly motivated and want to start as soon as possible.

A.

It typically takes 2 to 3 days to receive your medicine after the consultation. We do not provide pre-made products; instead, the compounding (Joje) and decoction (Tangjeon) processes begin only after a thorough diagnosis of your specific condition. Please allow approximately 3 days, including delivery, to start your treatment without delay.

📝 Detailed Answer

I understand the desire to start immediately once you've made up your mind to diet. However, unlike mass-produced medications, Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) requires time for personalized preparation. First, we must analyze your constitution (Chejil) to determine if your weight gain is caused by an accumulation of 'phlegm-fluid (Dameum)' or 'spleen deficiency (Biheo)' that affects digestion and metabolism. Only after this diagnosis is complete can we decide on the precise herbal formulation tailored to you. Once the prescription is finalized, compounding (Joje) and decoction (Tangjeon) begin within a day. Including courier delivery, you will typically receive your medicine within 3 days, excluding weekends or holidays. To make the most of this waiting period, we recommend 'warming up' by focusing on a light diet and hydration to help clear 'blood stasis (Eohyeol)' from your system before your customized treatment arrives.
