Q Won't taking herbal medicine long-term for chronic enteritis burden my liver or kidneys? My gut is already weak and I'm worried.
A Herbal medicine appropriately prescribed by a Korean medicine doctor is managed so as not to harm the liver or kidneys. For those with a weak gut, we prescribe formulas that are gentle, considering that condition, and adjust immediately if any abnormal reaction occurs. Always take it under a doctor's diagnosis.
Detailed Answer
Problems arise when arbitrarily taking herbs bought online or not following dosage. Herbal medicine prescribed by a Korean medicine doctor to suit constitution and symptoms is composed to minimize side effects, and adjusted to be light on digestion for those with a weak gut. Korean Medicine clinical practice guideline studies also reported no serious adverse events when pattern-based prescriptions were applied.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
If you feel any discomfort or develop unusual symptoms while taking it, tell us right away. We will adjust the formula immediately. Also, the following emergencies need immediate first aid rather than Korean medicine: if there is blood in the stool, fever over 38°C with severe abdominal pain together, or unexplained weight loss of 10kg+ within 6 months, go to an emergency room or internal medicine department immediately.
