Q I once took herbal diet medicine and felt dizzy with heart palpitations. Is fatty liver herbal medicine similar?
A Korean medicine treatment for fatty liver differs from diet herbal medicine aimed at forced weight loss. It focuses on restoring metabolic and digestive function, proceeding steadily without stimulating ingredients.
Detailed Answer
Some diet-oriented formulas contain a high proportion of stimulating herbs to strongly suppress appetite or induce heat/diuretic effects, which can cause dizziness, palpitations, or insomnia. Fatty liver treatment does not aim for such rapid weight loss but rather restores declined metabolic function to guide natural improvement, so the character of the prescription is different.
