Q. How long does it take to receive my weight loss herbal medicine if I get a non-face-to-face prescription in Yeongju?

A.

Prescriptions are typically finalized on the day of your remote consultation, and you can expect to receive your medicine within 3 to 4 days after dispensing and shipping. The initial prescription covers 1 to 2 weeks, with adjustments made every 2 to 4 weeks through follow-up consultations.

📝 Detailed Answer

Weight loss in Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is not simply about reducing weight, but about restoring the body's internal balance. For example, if a patient suffers from Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo, 脾虛), digestive functions weaken, leading to poor metabolism and the accumulation of Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum, 痰飮). In such cases, the treatment focuses on tonifying the spleen and eliminating phlegm. The first 1 to 2 weeks serve as an adaptation period where the body responds to the herbal medicine, often resulting in improved digestion or reduced edema. Noticeable changes in body composition typically occur after 2 to 4 weeks. Consistent administration for 1 to 2 months can lead to constitutional improvement, with overall treatment plans usually spanning 3 to 6 months depending on the individual. Regarding logistics, the prescription is issued the same day as the consultation, then dispensed by a pharmacist and shipped via courier. For the Yeongju area, delivery typically takes 3 to 4 days in total. While the initial consultation may take longer to ensure an accurate diagnosis, the delivery process is generally swift.
