📝 Detailed Answer
I completely understand the eagerness to start your weight loss journey quickly; many of our patients feel the same way. However, Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is not a one-size-fits-all product. After our remote consultation, we must meticulously adjust the herbal ingredients to match your specific constitution.
For example, we determine whether your weight gain is due to Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo, 脾虛), which leads to poor digestive function, or the accumulation of Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum, 痰飮) and Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血). Tailoring the prescription this way ensures a healthy weight loss process without adverse side effects.
The general timeline is as follows: On the first day, we analyze your constitution and finalize the prescription via remote consultation. The next 2 to 3 days are dedicated to the decocting and packaging process. Finally, the medicine is shipped via courier or quick delivery, meaning you will usually receive it within 3 to 5 business days.
During the first 1 to 2 weeks, your body will undergo an adaptation period where you will naturally notice a decrease in appetite. Following this, your metabolic rate will increase, and your body will begin to feel lighter. We appreciate your patience, as a precisely tailored prescription will make your long-term weight management much more sustainable and effective.
