처방 기간
Q. I'm located near Songpa. If I get a telemedicine consultation for diet herbal medicine, when will I receive it? Also, how long do I usually need to take it?
A.
After your telemedicine consultation and prescription finalization, delivery typically takes 2 to 3 days. Diet herbal medicine is usually prescribed in a three-month cycle to account for individual constitutions and goals. The first 1–2 weeks involve a 'cleansing' adaptation phase, followed by phased prescriptions designed for active weight loss.
📝 Detailed Answer
Hello! I'm Dr. Yeon-seung Choi from Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. I truly understand that feeling of urgency, as I once struggled with extreme dieting myself. For the Songpa area, you can expect delivery within 2 to 3 days, as we aim to ship the day after your consultation. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), we often diagnose weight issues as 'Biheo' (Spleen Qi Deficiency), where a weakened spleen leads to the accumulation of waste. Therefore, the first 1–2 weeks focus on clearing 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid or metabolic waste) and 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis) to lighten the body. This is followed by 2–3 months of boosting metabolism to reduce body fat. This period is essential for your body to establish a new 'set point' and recognize the lower weight as its own. Since every patient's health status and eating habits differ, I will provide a personalized plan and check your progress thoroughly.
