I'm looking to get a prescription for diet herbal medicine via telehealth. How long will it take to receive the medicine?
Once your prescription is finalized after the consultation, you can typically receive your medicine within 3 to 7 days. This period is necessary for the 1:1 decoction process tailored specifically to your constitution. We kindly ask for your patience as we carefully brew the medicine to ensure it is perfectly suited for your body.
Please be assured that telehealth consultations do not mean we provide generic, mass-produced medicines. I completely understand the desire for quick results, but diet herbal medicine requires a meticulous assessment of each individual's unique physiological state.
First, during the consultation, we evaluate the presence of Eohyeol (瘀血, blood stasis) and Dameum (痰飮, accumulated fluid/phlegm) within the body. For instance, if you are in a state of Bi-heo (脾虛, Spleen deficiency) with impaired digestive function, we adjust the herbal composition to reduce the burden on your gastrointestinal tract. The more precise this process is, the more comfortably you will tolerate the treatment.
The general timeline is as follows: once the prescription is confirmed immediately after the consultation, the medicine is brewed in the decoction room within 1 to 2 days. Including shipping time, you will usually receive it within a week.
Typically, you will begin to notice subtle changes during the first 1 to 2 weeks as your body adapts to the herbs, and by the 3rd to 4th week, your metabolic flow will stabilize. Rather than focusing solely on speed, this time is essential to prepare a 'tailor-made' prescription that fits your specific constitution. Please feel free to reach out with any further questions.
