Treatment Duration
Q. I'm looking to get a prescription for weight loss herbal medicine via telehealth; how long will it take to receive the medication?
A.
Once your prescription is finalized after the consultation, your medication is typically delivered to your home within 3 to 5 business days. This period is necessary for me, as the head physician, to personally analyze your constitution and carefully prepare your customized formula.
📝 Detailed Answer
I completely understand the anticipation of waiting for a delivery. However, unlike mass-produced pharmaceuticals, traditional herbal medicine is a 'custom-tailored' process that requires a specific amount of time for precision.
First, through the telehealth consultation, I assess your current physical state. Rather than focusing solely on weight, I conduct a detailed analysis of internal imbalances, such as 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention/metabolic waste) or 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis) that may be hindering your circulation.
Next is the formulation process. The specific medicinal herbs and their dosages vary significantly depending on whether you have 'Bi-heo' (Spleen deficiency leading to poor digestive function) or a heat-dominant constitution. Because I personally oversee the inspection and preparation of every batch to ensure safety and efficacy, it usually takes 3 to 5 days.
While I know you are eager to start, I believe that meticulously decocting the medicine that best fits your unique body is the fastest path to a healthy result. You will receive a notification once your package is shipped. I will ensure everything is prepared with the utmost care.
