Treatment Duration

Q. How long does it take to receive my diet herbal medicine after a remote consultation and prescription?

A.

Once your remote consultation is complete and the prescription is finalized, your medicine typically arrives within 3 to 5 business days. Because each formula is personalized 1:1 based on your specific constitution and current health status, it requires a few days of careful decoction rather than being shipped as a pre-made product.

📝 Detailed Answer

Many people attempt extreme fasting out of desperation, but this often leads to physical exhaustion and dizziness. Diet herbal medicine works differently; it is not simply about suppressing appetite, but about clearing 'internal waste' to optimize metabolic efficiency. First, we assess your current condition via remote consultation. We carefully evaluate the presence of Dam-eum (phlegm-fluid retention) and Eo-hyeol (blood stasis), which are metabolic waste products that obstruct circulation. We also check for Bi-heo (Spleen deficiency), as a weakened Spleen function can significantly lower the absorption rate of the herbal medicine. Once the prescription is set, we move to the preparation phase. Selecting the high-quality medicinal herbs and carefully decocting them typically takes 2 to 3 days. Including shipping time, you can expect delivery within 3 to 5 days. The first week is an adaptation period for your body. From the second to fourth week, as your metabolic function improves, you will begin to feel the tangible effects. Rather than rushing the process, the most important thing is to trust the journey of healthily detoxifying and emptying your body.
