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

A.

Once your consultation is complete and the prescription is finalized, you will typically receive your medicine within 3 to 5 business days. Because each patient's constitution and current physical condition differ, we take the necessary time to carefully customize and decoct the herbs to ensure accuracy and safety.

📝 Detailed Answer

I do not believe in rushing prescriptions just because the consultation is remote. Based on my own professional experiences and trials, I believe that when it comes to medication, precision and caution are paramount. First, during the online consultation, I analyze your current eating habits and overall condition. I specifically check for the accumulation of Dam-eum (phlegm-fluid retention/metabolic waste) and whether there is evidence of Eo-hyeol (blood stasis), both of which can hinder weight loss. For those with Bi-heo (Spleen deficiency/impaired digestive function), the herbal formulation must be adjusted even more meticulously to prevent digestive upset. The general timeline is as follows: 1. Consultation and Prescription Finalization: Within one business day, I analyze your state and determine the optimal herbal formula. 2. Ingredient Selection and Decoction: This takes about 1 to 3 days. Rather than using a mass-produced manual, I personally oversee the selection and preparation process to ensure quality. 3. Shipping and Delivery: Once prepared, the medicine is shipped via courier and usually arrives within 1 to 2 days. I recommend allowing 3 to 5 business days from the initial consultation to delivery. While there is a short wait, please view this as the time required to 'tailor-make' a formula that fits your body perfectly, much like a bespoke suit. Please feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
