I understand the desire for quick results, but herbal medicine is not a mass-produced product; it requires a precise, individualized process. First, through the non-face-to-face consultation, I assess your current physical state. For those who have struggled with weight loss, it is critical to determine whether the cause is Spleen Deficiency (脾虛, weakened digestive function), Blood Stasis (瘀血, stagnant blood flow), or Phlegm-Fluid Retention (痰飮, accumulation of metabolic waste). This diagnostic stage is the most vital part of the process. Once the prescription is finalized, we move into the preparation phase, which involves selecting high-quality medicinal herbs and decocting them with care. This usually takes 3 to 7 days, as I meticulously adjust the concentration of the herbs to match your specific digestive capacity and general condition. After you receive the medicine, your body will typically go through an 'adaptation period' for the first one to two weeks. Following this, you will begin to feel physical changes as your constitution gradually improves. Taking a slightly longer time to receive a formula perfectly suited to your constitution is ultimately a faster and safer path to success than rushing into a generic prescription.
