Treatment Duration

Q. If I have a remote consultation and get a prescription for diet herbal medicine, how long does it actually take to receive the medicine?

A.

Once the prescription is finalized after your consultation, it typically takes 3 to 7 business days. We utilize an in-house dispensing system to carefully decoct the medicine tailored to your specific constitution. Please understand that this time is necessary to ensure a thorough diagnosis and precise preparation, even for remote patients.

📝 Detailed Answer

I completely understand the desire for quick results, but when it comes to herbal medicine, precision is more important than speed. First, the initial 1-2 days are dedicated to a detailed constitutional analysis. We don't just look at the number on the scale; we meticulously examine the accumulation of 'Dameum' (痰飮, the stagnation of metabolic waste/phlegm) and 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis resulting from poor circulation) within your body. Following this, there is a decoction process that takes about 3 to 5 days. Rather than sending a pre-made generic product, we perform a 'Gagam' (加減, the addition or subtraction of specific herbs) process to fine-tune the formula based on factors such as 'Biheo' (脾虛, deficiency of the Spleen/digestive function). In total, it takes about one week from consultation to delivery. Please be assured that a remote consultation does not mean a superficial prescription; in fact, we review your records even more rigorously to ensure safety and efficacy. Think of this as the process of tailoring a bespoke suit specifically for your body. We will prepare your medicine with the utmost care and send it to you as quickly as possible.
