Q. I'm looking to get a remote prescription for weight loss herbal medicine in Banpo. How long will it take to receive the medicine?

I understand the urge to see results quickly; many people try extreme fasting, which often leads to dizziness and exhaustion. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), it is far more important that the medicine is 'precisely' tailored to your body than simply received 'quickly.' First, through a remote consultation, we analyze your current symptoms and constitution. We carefully determine if your weight gain is caused by an accumulation of Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum), which represents metabolic waste, or Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol), which hinders circulation. For instance, if you have a Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo) resulting in poor digestive function, the composition of the medicinal herbs must be completely different to avoid side effects. The general timeline is as follows: Day 1 involves the remote consultation for constitutional analysis. The following 2 to 3 days are dedicated to the preparation and decocting process, where we select and brew the specific herbs curated for you. Including shipping time, you can expect delivery within 3 to 7 days. During the first one to two weeks, your body adapts to the medicine and excess fluid (edema) typically clears. After that, your metabolic rate increases, and you will begin to feel gradual changes. Rather than focusing on 'how to lose weight fast,' we will help you find 'how to lose weight without harming your health.' Please feel free to share your concerns with us.
