How long is the typical treatment + recovery timeline?

Most patients undergo an initial intensive phase of 2–4 weeks, involving daily acupuncture and herbal adjustments, followed by a maintenance phase of 2–3 months with weekly visits. Many report noticeable symptom improvement within the first 2 weeks, but full digestive harmony typically requires 3–6 months. Recovery is gradual, as TCM aims to rebuild digestive strength rather than provide quick fixes.
