Q I'm too busy to visit often. How many times do I need to come in for tonic medicine?
A For a 3-month course, 3 to 4 visits including the first consultation are enough.
Detailed Answer
Tonic medicine prescriptions don't require weekly visits. For a 3-month course, the initial consultation (assessment + prescription), a mid-course check at 4 weeks, and a final review near the end -- about 3 to 4 visits total -- is enough. Decoctions can be prepared in advance and taken home in a set quantity for a given period.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Since many patients are busy professionals and business owners in their 50s and 60s, we make it possible to ask questions by phone or text during your course after the prescription is issued. Keeping your prescription record on file allows for faster adjustments at your next visit. There's no need to feel burdened by the number of visits.
