Q. How many days will it take to receive my weight loss herbal medicine after a remote consultation? And how many months do I usually need to take it?

I understand how eager you are to start; waiting for a delivery can be quite stressful. Once your remote consultation is complete, we immediately begin custom-compounding your medicine at our clinic. Including preparation, packaging, and shipping, you can expect to receive it at home within 2 to 3 days. As for the duration, please view it as the time required to 'reset your internal environment.' The human body has a strong tendency to return to its previous state (homeostasis). Therefore, I recommend a focused 3-month treatment plan. The first month is dedicated to expelling Dam-eum (痰飮, phlegm-fluid), which refers to metabolic waste stored in the body. If you are in a state of Spleen Deficiency (脾虛, Bi-heo), we focus on restoring digestive function and normalizing metabolism. I personally remember struggling with the rebound effect when I rushed through this phase in the past—it is crucial not to skip these foundational steps. The second and third months are the 'stabilization phase,' where we promote the circulation of Qi and Blood (氣血, Gi-hyeol) and induce constitutional changes. This process helps your body recognize the reduced weight as its new normal. It is not just about eating less; it is about upgrading your body’s 'engine' to a healthier state. We will fine-tune the specific duration together based on your progress and health status.
