Treatment Duration

Q. I'm looking to get a prescription for diet herbal medicine via telehealth from Hanam. How long will it take to receive the medicine?

A.

Once the telehealth consultation is complete and the prescription is finalized, it typically takes 3 to 5 business days to receive your medicine. This timeframe allows for a thorough review of your health status and the careful decocting of medicinal herbs tailored to your specific constitution.

📝 Detailed Answer

I understand you're eager to start. I remember feeling the same way before a big event, constantly checking the tracking number because I wanted the medicine to arrive as quickly as possible. However, when we rush, our bodies can become tense, which can actually hinder the overall effectiveness of the treatment. Our telehealth process is not simply about shipping medicine; it begins with a detailed consultation to assess your current physiological state. We need to determine if you are experiencing Spleen Deficiency (脾虛), characterized by low energy and poor digestion, if you have an accumulation of Phlegm-Fluid (痰飮), or if there is a prevalence of Blood Stasis (瘀血) obstructing circulation. After this diagnosis, I personally write the prescription, select the high-quality herbs, and oversee the decoction (boiling) process. Generally, please allow 2–3 days for preparation and another 1–2 days for delivery. Rather than simply rushing a 'weight loss drug' to you, it is far more important to prevent adverse reactions—such as dizziness or heart palpitations—that can occur if the medicine does not align with your constitution. Based on my own clinical experience and studies, trying to fast-track results without a solid foundation often leads back to the starting point. If you can wait just a little longer, I will ensure your medicine is meticulously prepared to be gentle on your body while remaining effective. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
