Treatment Duration

Q. If I have a consultation and get a prescription remotely, when will I receive my medicine? How long does it take?

A.

Once your prescription is finalized after the consultation, your medicine typically arrives within 3 to 5 business days. This is because herbal medicine is not a pre-made product; it is custom-prescribed and prepared 1:1 to match your specific constitution.

📝 Detailed Answer

I completely understand the anticipation of waiting for your package to arrive. However, traditional herbal medicine is not mass-produced in a factory, so the process naturally takes some time. First, we assess your current physical state through the consultation. This is more than just simple weight loss; we analyze where 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) or 'Dameum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid retention) may be obstructing your system. For instance, if you have a 'Biheo' (脾虛, Spleen deficiency) constitution with poor digestive capacity, the composition of the medicinal herbs must be completely adjusted. The general timeline is as follows: once the consultation is complete and preparation begins, it takes about 2 to 3 days for decoction. Including shipping, you can expect delivery within 3 to 5 business days. It is natural to feel impatient when you want to see results quickly. However, pushing your body too hard can lead to adverse reactions. Rather than rushing, I recommend a steady approach that focuses on gradually boosting your basal metabolism. Your prescription is being carefully prepared and decocted; we appreciate your patience.
