Q. If I get a telemedicine consultation for herbal weight loss medicine from Tongyeong, how long does it take for the medicine to arrive, and how many months should I take it for?

Thank you for reaching out from Tongyeong. I truly understand the sense of urgency when waiting for your medicine; I have also experienced that restless feeling of constantly refreshing a tracking page. Once the telemedicine consultation is complete, I personally review your physical condition to begin the prescription process. Because these are not mass-produced medicines but custom-made formulas tailored specifically for you, the preparation takes about 1–2 days. Including shipping time, you can expect to receive it in approximately 3–4 days. I generally recommend a 3-month duration because the body requires a structured sequence to accept physiological changes. In Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), weight gain is often diagnosed as an accumulation of 'Dameum' (痰飮)—metabolic waste that hasn't been properly discharged—or a state of 'Biheo' (脾虛), where Spleen Qi deficiency leads to a drop in digestive metabolism. The first month is an adaptation period focused on clearing out internal waste and boosting your metabolic rate. The second month is the active weight loss phase, where your body starts feeling significantly lighter. The final third month is the 'consolidation' stage, where the body internalizes the reduced weight as its new normal baseline. While individual timelines may vary based on your constitution and lifestyle, rushing the process often leads to fatigue or dizziness. I encourage you to approach this with a relaxed mind as we work together to improve your underlying constitution.
