처방 기간
Q. How long does it take to receive my diet herbal medicine after a remote consultation in Gwangju?
A.
Once your prescription is finalized after the remote consultation, your medicine usually arrives within 3 to 7 days. This timeframe is necessary because we carefully select medicinal herbs based on your constitution and current physical condition and prepare them with great care.
📝 Detailed Answer
I understand the desire for quick results, but in Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM), the precision of the 'prescription' is far more critical than the speed of 'dispensing.'
After the consultation, I spend 1 to 3 days meticulously reviewing your condition. Effective weight loss is not simply about suppressing appetite; we must first assess the presence of 'Dameum' (phlegm-fluid retention/metabolic waste) and 'Eohyeol' (blood stasis/congested blood). Ignoring these factors and prescribing generic stimulants can lead to side effects such as extreme fatigue or insomnia.
Following this analysis, another 2 to 4 days are required for herb selection, decoction (boiling), and packaging. For patients with severe 'Bi-heo' (Spleen Deficiency/weak digestive function), we may need additional time to adjust the ingredients or the decocting process to ensure the medicine is gentle on the stomach.
In summary, the process follows this flow: [Consultation → Prescription Analysis (1-3 days) → Decoction and Shipping (2-4 days)]. If you wait a little longer, I will provide you with a healthy prescription that naturally boosts your metabolism rather than one that simply forces weight loss. Please feel free to ask any further questions.
