Treatment Duration

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

A.

Once your consultation is complete and the prescription is finalized, your medicine is typically delivered to your home within 3 to 5 business days. This period allows me to carefully analyze your constitution and prepare a personalized formula tailored specifically to your body.

📝 Detailed Answer

I completely understand the eagerness to start your journey. However, Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is not a one-size-fits-all product. To ensure safety and efficacy, a meticulous 1:1 prescription process is essential. First, during the remote consultation, I evaluate your current condition. Beyond just weight, I assess internal imbalances such as 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention) or 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis) that hinder circulation. For instance, if you are experiencing 'Biheo' (Spleen Deficiency) resulting in poor digestive function, the composition of the medicinal herbs must be entirely different to avoid side effects. After the prescription is issued, we begin the decoction and quality inspection process. The 3 to 5-day window is used to balance the properties of the herbs and make precise adjustments to the dosage. Once you receive your medicine, the first 1–2 weeks are considered an adaptation period where your body adjusts to the herbal formula. From the 3rd to 4th week, you will likely begin to feel a gradual shift as your metabolism activates and your body transforms. Prioritizing the balance of your body over haste leads to more sustainable results. I will prepare your medicine with the utmost care and send it to you as quickly as possible.
