Q My stomach is weak, so taking medicine only makes me feel more uncomfortable. Will taking herbal medicine for a long time be safe for my digestive system?
A A doctor of Korean medicine prescribes based on your constitution and stomach condition to minimize the burden. In fact, herbal medicine is formulated to help the weakened stomach with digestion and absorption, thereby making the stomach feel comfortable.
Detailed Answer
For those with sensitive stomachs, taking medicine itself can be burdensome. Therefore, our clinic first examines your stomach condition and constitution to prescribe medicine that is gentle and aids digestion. For functional dyspepsia, we utilize herbal medicines tailored to your condition, such as those that aid gastric motility and support spleen and stomach functions, or those that help clear blocked Qi circulation caused by tension and stress.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Herbal medicine is not intended to stimulate or suppress the stomach; rather, its purpose is to support weakened digestive and absorption functions to make the stomach feel comfortable. If you experience any discomfort while taking the medicine, please let us know immediately so we can adjust the formulation. We prioritize safety in our treatment.
