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

A.

Once the prescription is finalized after your remote consultation, it typically takes 3 to 7 business days. Because your medicine is carefully decocted to match your specific constitution, it cannot be sent immediately, but we will prepare it as quickly as possible.

📝 Detailed Answer

I completely understand the desire to start your weight loss journey as quickly as possible. However, Traditional Korean Medicine is not a mass-produced product; it is more like tailoring a 'bespoke suit' specifically for your body, which requires a certain amount of time. First, we must carefully analyze your current physical condition through a remote consultation. The key is to distinguish whether you are in a state of 'Spleen Deficiency' (Bi-heo, 脾虛), where digestive functions are weak, or if there is an accumulation of 'Phlegm-fluid' (Dam-eum, 痰飮) and 'Blood Stasis' (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血) within the body. An accurate diagnosis is essential to ensure you lose weight healthily and without adverse side effects. Preparation begins immediately after the consultation, and you will generally receive your medicine at home within 3 to 7 days. This period accounts for the physical time required to select the finest medicinal herbs and meticulously extract the active ingredients. The first one to two weeks are an adaptation phase where you should monitor any changes in your condition; after that, a fundamental improvement in your constitution begins. Please bear with us a little longer, and we will ensure your medicine is prepared in the most optimal state.
