Q. How many days does it actually take to receive my diet herbal medicine if I get a non-face-to-face prescription?

A.

Typically, it takes 1–2 days for consultation and prescription, and another 2–3 days for preparation and shipping, meaning you will receive it within about a week. Please allow some time as I personally analyze your constitution to provide a customized prescription and carefully decoct the herbs.

📝 Detailed Answer

I completely understand the eagerness to start your weight loss journey quickly; waiting can often feel frustrating when you are motivated to see results. Here is the detailed process: First, we conduct a non-face-to-face consultation to assess your current state. Rather than focusing solely on weight, I analyze internal factors such as 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention) and 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis), which can hinder metabolism and circulation. This analysis phase typically takes 1–2 days. Next is the preparation stage. We do not provide generic, pre-made medicine. I determine the precise addition or subtraction of medicinal herbs based on your specific condition, such as 'Bi-heo' (Spleen deficiency/weak digestive function). If the Spleen function is weak, a standard potent formula might feel too harsh on the body. This careful preparation and packaging process takes an additional 2–3 days. Finally, including courier delivery, you can generally expect to receive your medicine within 5–7 business days. While it may seem slow, please think of it as tailoring a 'custom-fit suit' specifically for your body. Rushing this process could lead to overlooking critical details, and when it comes to your health, accuracy is our top priority.
