Treatment Duration

Q. How long will it take to receive my weight loss herbal medicine via a remote consultation from Yeosu? I’d also like to know about the prescription process.

A.

It typically takes 3 to 4 business days from the consultation to receive your medicine. Rather than sending pre-made products, I insist on 1:1 custom formulations based on your specific medical history. This personalized process takes a bit more time, but I will ensure your medicine is prepared with the utmost care and delivered safely to your doorstep.

📝 Detailed Answer

I completely understand the excitement and motivation when you first decide to start a diet; I also find myself constantly refreshing the tracking number when I’m waiting for a delivery! However, because Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is not a mass-produced product kept in stock, a minimum preparation period is required to ensure its efficacy. First, we will identify your constitution through a consultation. I must carefully determine whether the root cause of your weight gain is 'Dameum' (痰飮, accumulation of phlegm-fluid and internal waste) or a state of 'Bi-heo' (脾虛, Spleen Qi deficiency characterized by low energy and poor digestion). Without this diagnostic step, the result would merely be a 'strong stimulant' rather than a 'personalized medicine tailored to your body.' Once the consultation is complete, we immediately begin the dispensing and decocting (Tangjeon) process. It usually takes 1 to 2 full days to select premium medicinal herbs and carefully extract the active ingredients. While I sometimes feel the urge to speed things up, I cannot compromise on this time if I am to provide medicine that truly works for you. Shipping to the Yeosu area typically takes one day after dispatch, depending on the courier. Please allow about 3 to 4 business days in total. Since this is an investment in the body you will live in for a lifetime, please wait with peace of mind as I put my heart into this preparation.
