Treatment Duration

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

A.

Once your prescription is finalized after the consultation, your medicine will typically be delivered to your home within 3 to 7 business days. Because I personally assess your condition and carefully select the specific herbs that match your unique constitution, the preparation process takes a little time. We appreciate your patience while we prepare your medicine with the utmost care.

📝 Detailed Answer

I completely understand how eager you are to start your weight loss journey. While I wish I could deliver your medicine instantly, Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is not a mass-produced product; it is a personalized treatment tailored specifically to your body. During the first 1 to 2 days, I analyze your current health status through consultation. It is crucial to determine whether you have Spleen Deficiency (脾虛, Bi-heo), which manifests as poor digestive capacity, or if there is an accumulation of Phlegm-fluid (痰飮, Dam-eum) and Blood Stasis (瘀血, Eo-hyeol)—metabolic waste products that hinder weight loss. This detailed diagnosis ensures that the herbal formula is effective and minimizes potential side effects. Following this, the decoction and inspection process takes approximately 3 to 5 days. This involves verifying the quality of the medicinal herbs and the physical time required to brew them to the precise potency. You can generally expect your package to arrive via courier within a week. I have seen many patients struggle with the 'yo-yo effect' or dizziness because they rushed into a generic treatment. Please view this waiting period as the time it takes to tailor a 'custom-fit suit' for your body. I will prepare your prescription with great sincerity and care.
