Q. I'm located near the Beomgye area. If I have a telemedicine consultation for herbal weight loss medicine, when can I expect to receive it?

A.

You will typically receive your herbal medicine within 2 to 3 business days after your consultation. While pre-made batches would be faster, we require this time to customize the prescription to your specific body constitution and perform the decoction process in-house. Please allow us a few days to prepare your medicine with the utmost care and precision.

📝 Detailed Answer

We completely understand the burning motivation to start a diet immediately. However, because herbal medicine is directly ingested and integrated into your body's systems, it cannot be mass-produced like factory goods. Our clinical experience has shown that tailoring the formula to the individual is the safest and most effective way to achieve sustainable results. On the day of your consultation, we first focus on identifying your specific body constitution. This involves checking for 'Dam-eum' (phlegm-fluid), which refers to waste products accumulated in the body, or 'Eo-hyeol' (blood stasis), where circulation issues lead to stagnant blood flow. Following the consultation, the formulation and decoction process takes approximately 1 to 2 days. For instance, if a patient exhibits 'Bi-heo' (Spleen deficiency), which results in low metabolic energy, we include herbs to tonify their vitality. If the weight gain is linked to stress-induced Qi stagnation, we focus on smoothing the flow of energy. This individualized decoction is the core stage of your treatment. Finally, it takes about one additional day for careful packaging and dispatch. In total, you can expect to receive your medicine within 2 to 3 business days (excluding weekends). While we understand the desire for speed, 'accuracy' in Traditional Korean Medicine is the fastest path to a healthy transformation. We will prepare your prescription with great care.
