How long is the typical treatment + recovery timeline?
Most patients begin with an initial 2–4 week intensive inpatient or outpatient program to stabilize symptoms like fatigue and nausea. After this phase, many experience noticeable improvement within 1–2 weeks, with full benefits often seen by week 4. For chronic issues like neuropathy or xerostomia, a 3–6 month maintenance plan—including herbal medicine and periodic acupuncture—may be recommended, with gradual recovery continuing over several months.
