Treatment Duration

Q. How long will it take from the consultation to receiving my medicine? I'd like to start right away now that I've made up my mind.

A.

It typically takes about 3 to 4 days from your consultation to receive your medicine. This time is required to carefully analyze each patient's unique constitution and specific conditions, such as Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo), for precise formulation. Rather than providing pre-made medicine, we create a custom prescription tailored specifically to your body. I will meticulously decoct your medicine and send it to you shortly.

📝 Detailed Answer

I completely understand that once you decide to start a diet, you want to see results immediately. I’ve also experienced the consequences of rushing into the wrong medication without proper care. At our clinic, we do not dispense medicine on the same day because we must first thoroughly examine the state of Phlegm-fluid (Dameum) and Blood Stasis (Eohyeol) accumulated in your body. Including the formulation process and delivery, it usually takes 3 to 4 days. This period is essential for creating a customized prescription that replenishes your Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo). The first week of intake is a period for your body to adapt and eliminate wastes; you will start feeling lighter as you manage your portions. By the one-month mark, you'll naturally develop the habit of controlling cravings. Our ultimate goal is to healthily transform your constitution over at least three months. While it may seem slow, this process is the most effective way to prevent the yo-yo effect. Let's take this journey step-by-step together.
