Q. I'm looking to get a remote prescription for diet herbal medicine from Hwaseong. How long will delivery take, and how many months is the typical course of treatment?

Hello! I completely understand the eager anticipation of waiting for a delivery. For remote consultations from Hwaseong, it typically takes about 2 to 3 days from the time of prescription through the careful decoction process to final delivery. The treatment duration is usually structured as a 3-month cycle. This is the minimum time required for the body's cells to regenerate and for the metabolic system to fully adapt to a new state. Think of herbal medicine as a reliable supporter that helps you avoid the taxing trials and errors often associated with extreme dieting. Our process first begins by expelling 'Dameum' (痰飮, phlegm-fluid), which refers to metabolic wastes accumulated in the body. Patients who frequently feel heavy or bloated often have stagnant Dameum. Next, we focus on boosting metabolism to actively burn energy. If symptoms of 'Biheo' (脾虛, Spleen Deficiency) are detected—where digestive energy is weak—I will include restorative medicinal herbs to ensure your vitality remains high. Finally, we enter the maintenance phase, helping the brain recognize the reduced weight as your new 'set point.' This period focuses on facilitating the circulation of 'Qi and Blood' (氣血, Gi-Hyeol) to build a foundation that prevents the yo-yo effect. While the exact duration varies depending on your individual constitution, I will be by your side to adjust the treatment meticulously so you can reach your goals successfully.
