It is completely natural to be concerned about the cost. Many patients often wonder why pricing varies so significantly between clinics. To put it simply, the difference comes down to the formulation method and the composition of the medicinal herbs.

Rather than providing a one-size-fits-all product, a professional practitioner analyzes your current physical condition to add or subtract specific herbs to optimize the effect.

• Custom Decoctions (Tang-yak): These are brewed individually based on the patient's constitution and symptoms. Because they require more labor and precision, the cost is relatively higher.
• Pills (Hwan) or Capsules: These are concentrated versions of decoctions designed for convenience, and costs vary based on the specific manufacturing process.
• Grade of Herbs: Pricing varies depending on whether GMP-certified medical-grade herbal medicines are used.

In Traditional Korean Medicine, the loss of energy or digestive issues experienced during a diet are often viewed as Spleen Deficiency (Bi-heo), a state where the function of the Spleen is weakened. When herbs to support this function are added, the composition changes. Similarly, if a patient has Blood Stasis (Eo-hyeol), where blood circulation is poor and waste products accumulate, the entire direction of the prescription changes.
