Q. How long does it take to receive my weight loss herbal medicine if I get a prescription via telehealth?

A.

Once your prescription is finalized after the consultation, you will typically receive your medicine within 3 to 5 business days. Because each formula is customized to your specific body constitution, the preparation process takes a little time. In the meantime, we will send you a dietary guide to help you prepare.

📝 Detailed Answer

I believe that when it comes to herbal medicine, 'accuracy' is far more important than 'speed.' A rushed prescription can lead to suboptimal results, which is why we follow a meticulous process. Here is the timeline: First, through the telehealth consultation, we assess your current physical state. We don't just look at the number on the scale; we analyze the accumulation of Phlegm-Fluid (Dam-eum, 痰飮), the presence of Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol, 瘀血) that hinders circulation, and whether you are experiencing Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo, 脾虛) affecting your digestion. The herbal composition changes entirely based on these factors. Next is the decoction process. We do not provide mass-produced supplements. I personally oversee the selection and brewing of the herbs according to your specific prescription, which typically takes 2 to 3 days. Adding shipping time, the total duration is approximately 3 to 5 days. Until your medicine arrives, please avoid extreme fasting and try keeping a food diary. The first one to two weeks after starting the medicine is an adaptation period, after which you will begin to feel your metabolism gradually shift. If you wait patiently, I will ensure you receive a customized 'support system' perfectly tailored to your constitution.
