Q. How long does it take to receive my diet herbal medicine after a remote consultation?

A.

The process from consultation to prescription typically takes 1–3 days. Once I have analyzed your constitution and the medicine is carefully brewed in the pharmacy, you can generally expect to receive your package within 3–5 business days.

📝 Detailed Answer

I understand the anticipation of waiting for your medication when you have a busy schedule, which is why I strive to balance efficiency with precision. Rapid delivery isn't the only goal; quality and personalization are paramount in Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM). First, we conduct a thorough remote consultation to assess your current physical state. Rather than simply reducing weight, it is essential to determine the extent of 'Dameum' (痰飮, accumulated phlegm-fluid or metabolic waste) and 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) in your body. This diagnostic phase typically takes 1–2 days. Next is the decoction (brewing) stage. Since digestive capacities vary greatly between individuals—especially for those with 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency/weakness)—we customize the herbal composition to suit your specific needs. Including brewing, packaging, and shipping, you can comfortably expect your medication to arrive within 3–5 business days. During the first week, you may experience slight dizziness or palpitations as your body adapts to the herbs. This is often a sign that your dormant metabolism is being activated. From the second week onward, you should start feeling your body become lighter. I recommend consistently taking the medicine for about a month while we work together to adjust the dosage and pace.
