Q. If I have a remote consultation and get a prescription, when will I receive my medicine?

A.

Once your prescription is finalized after the remote consultation, you can typically receive your medicine at home within 3 to 7 days. This timeframe is necessary for me, as the chief physician, to carefully analyze your constitution and personally oversee the decoction process to ensure the medicine is perfectly tailored to your body.

📝 Detailed Answer

I completely understand the desire to start as quickly as possible. However, herbal medicine is not a mass-produced product; it is a customized therapeutic approach. First, I analyze your current physiological state through the consultation. This goes beyond simple metrics like weight. I must evaluate the accumulation of 'Eohyeol' (瘀血, blood stasis) and 'Dameum' (痰飮, accumulated metabolic waste/phlegm). In particular, for those with 'Biheo' (脾虛, Spleen Qi Deficiency), the composition of medicinal herbs must be meticulously adjusted to ensure you lose weight healthily without depleting your vital energy. The timeline is as follows: the prescription is finalized on the day of or the day after the consultation. Then, 2 to 3 days are spent on careful preparation and quality inspection. Including shipping, it usually takes about a week. This marks the transition into your full weight loss phase. Until your medicine arrives, please avoid extreme fasting and instead prepare your body with light walking. This 'warming up' process helps your body respond more positively to the herbal treatment. I will prepare your medicine with the utmost care.
