처방 기간
Q. How long will it take to receive my weight loss herbal medicine if I get a remote prescription?
A.
It typically takes 3 to 7 days after your consultation and prescription are finalized. As the head physician, I personally review your condition and oversee the decoction process to ensure the medicine is perfectly tailored to your body, and I appreciate your patience during this essential period of care.
📝 Detailed Answer
I completely understand the anticipation of waiting for a delivery. While I wish I could send it immediately, Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) differs from mass-produced pharmaceuticals; each prescription is a customized formula.
During the first 1-2 days, I re-examine your consultation data to analyze your constitution. Many who have struggled with repeated weight loss failures often present with 'Spleen Deficiency' (脾虛, Bi-Heo), a state where weakened spleen function leads to a significant drop in metabolic rate. Precise analysis of this state is crucial for the medicine to be effective.
Over the next 3-5 days, the medicine is brewed and carefully inspected. This is the stage where I fine-tune the herbal blend to ensure the efficient removal of 'Blood Stasis' (瘀血, Eo-Hyeol) and 'Phlegm-Fluid' (痰飮, Dam-Eum)—the stagnant blood and metabolic waste accumulated in the body. This meticulous process is why many of our patients report that the medicine feels 'gentle on the stomach.'
In total, you can expect delivery within about a week. Once received, the first 1-2 weeks are an adaptation period for your body, after which your metabolism will gradually begin to increase.
Please think of this waiting time as the process of tailoring a bespoke suit perfectly fitted to your unique physiological needs. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
