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

I completely understand the desire to start your weight loss journey as quickly as possible. However, the core of Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is 'personalized compounding' rather than simply shipping a pre-made product, which is why a certain amount of time is required. First, through the telehealth consultation, I meticulously examine your current physical state. This involves assessing the levels of Blood Stasis (瘀血, stagnant blood) and Phlegm-Fluid Retention (痰飮, accumulated metabolic waste) in your body. Crucially, I must check for symptoms of Spleen Deficiency (脾虛, impaired digestive function), as overlooking this step could lead to gastrointestinal discomfort when taking the medicine. Regarding the timeline: once the prescription is finalized after your consultation, it takes 1 to 2 days to select the finest medicinal herbs and precisely compound them. After that, please allow another 2 to 3 days for courier delivery. In total, you can expect to receive your medicine approximately 3 to 5 business days after your initial consultation. While this may seem slow, it is actually the fastest way to ensure you don't waste time struggling with medicine that isn't suited for your body. I will prepare your prescription with the utmost care.
