Treatment Duration

Q. I am interested in applying for a remote consultation for weight loss herbal medicine from Miryang. How long does the process usually take, from the consultation to receiving the actual medicine?

A.

Remote consultations are fully available for patients in Miryang. After a personalized assessment and prescription, it generally takes 2 to 4 business days for your medicine to arrive, following the customized preparation and decoction (boiling) process. As these are 1:1 tailored prescriptions rather than mass-produced items, we kindly ask for your understanding regarding the preparation time; we will ensure it is prepared with great care.

📝 Detailed Answer

I completely understand the feeling of wanting to start your diet journey immediately once you've made up your mind. However, because our herbal medicine is not pre-made but tailored to each individual, a short waiting period is necessary. First, we conduct a thorough remote check-up of your physical condition, including your digestion and sleep patterns. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), excessive weight gain is often attributed to Spleen Qi Deficiency (Biheo, a state where the spleen's weakness leads to waste accumulation) or Phlegm-fluid (Dameum, metabolic byproducts resulting from poor energy circulation). Identifying these root causes is essential for a precise prescription. Once the prescription is finalized—usually on the same or the following day—we begin the decoction process using herbs that resolve Blood Stasis (Eohyeol, stagnant blood hindering circulation) and activate metabolism. After one day of careful preparation and another day or two for shipping, you should receive your medicine in Miryang within 2 to 4 business days. The first 1 to 2 weeks serve as a 'preparation period' where your body adapts and begins discharging Phlegm-fluid. From the second month onward, you will truly feel the changes as your metabolism becomes more active. Moving at a pace suited to your body is much more effective than extreme fasting. We will prepare your medicine with the utmost sincerity, so please wait just a little longer.
