Q. How long does it take to receive my weight loss herbal medicine if I get a remote prescription?

A.

Typically, it takes about 3 to 5 business days from the initial consultation to delivery. Since each prescription is personalized and carefully decocted, a certain amount of physical preparation time is required to ensure safety and quality.

📝 Detailed Answer

I understand the desire to start your journey as quickly as possible; however, Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is not a one-size-fits-all pre-made product. Because we provide customized prescriptions, a specific 'preparation period' is essential. First, during the remote consultation, I carefully assess your current physiological state. Rather than simply reducing weight, I identify the accumulation of 'Dam-eum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention/metabolic waste) and 'Eo-hyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) to create a tailored formula. Without this precise diagnosis, you might experience fatigue or dizziness—similar to the side effects of extreme fasting—which we aim to avoid. Next is the preparation and extraction phase. For patients with 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency or weakened digestive function), the composition of medicinal herbs must be adjusted with extra care. The process of decocting, cooling, and packaging usually takes 2 to 3 days. The entire workflow follows this sequence: [Remote Consultation → Personalized Prescription → Extraction & Preparation → Delivery]. Considering shipping times, we recommend applying at least one week before you need the medicine. Your patience ensures you receive a formula perfectly optimized for your body.
