Q. I'd like to get a prescription for diet herbal medicine via telehealth. How long does it take to receive the medicine?

Having been a busy professional myself, I completely understand the urge to start as quickly as possible to see fast results. However, Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is not about following a fixed recipe to mass-produce a product; it is a personalized process that requires time. First, we assess your current physical condition through a telehealth consultation. We don't just look at the number on the scale; we examine the presence of 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) and 'Dameum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention/metabolic waste) accumulated in the body. A critical part of this process is determining if you are in a state of 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency/impaired digestive function). If we administer potent metabolic stimulants while your basal metabolic rate is depleted, you may experience premature fatigue. Once the prescription is tailored to your needs, it goes through the preparation and quality inspection process before being shipped. It generally takes 3 to 5 business days. During the first one to two weeks, your body adapts and initial swelling subsides. After about a month, as your metabolic efficiency improves, you will feel your body becoming significantly lighter. Rather than rushing, I encourage you to view this as a time to restore your body's natural rhythm. Let's work together to set a steady, sustainable, and sure direction for your health.
