Treatment Duration

Q. How long does it take to receive my weight loss herbal medicine if I get a non-face-to-face prescription in Busan?

A.

Once your prescription is finalized through the remote consultation, it typically takes 3 to 7 days to receive your medicine. This duration is necessary for me to accurately analyze your constitution and carefully decoct the herbs. To help you get started, I will provide a dietary guide while you wait.

📝 Detailed Answer

I understand that waiting for your medication can feel like a long time when you are eager to start your health journey. To put your mind at ease, let me explain the process step-by-step. During the first 1 to 2 days, we conduct a remote consultation to assess your current physical condition. Rather than focusing solely on weight, I carefully analyze whether you are experiencing 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen Deficiency/low digestive energy) or if there is an accumulation of 'Dam-eum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention/metabolic waste). This diagnostic process is essential for a truly personalized prescription. From day 3 to 5, we proceed with the decoction and packaging. Traditional Korean Medicine is not a pre-made product; the medicinal herbs are meticulously adjusted and brewed based on your unique constitution. Based on my professional experience, I prioritize precision in preparation over rushing the process to ensure the highest quality. Finally, on day 6 or 7, your medicine is shipped via courier for your convenience. Since there is a gap between the prescription and delivery, you might feel anxious. Instead of extreme fasting, I recommend preparing your body with light walks and adequate hydration. This 'pre-heating' phase allows your body to respond more effectively to the herbal medicine. I will provide a detailed schedule again following our consultation.
