Q My stomach is weak and everything feels burdensome. Could herbal medicine put even more strain on it?
A The weaker the stomach, the gentler the starting formulation and dose. If you feel discomfort after taking it, tell us and we adjust the concentration, timing, and frequency. Building up gradually while watching your response is the rule.
Detailed Answer
The same bloating differs depending on whether the stomach is exhausted and weak or heavy with accumulation. Clearing aggressively in the first case only drains energy further. That is why the first visit begins with pressing the abdomen and reading the pulse to tell the two apart.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Please report reactions such as burning, loose stools, or appetite changes exactly as they occur. Those reactions themselves tell us the current state of your stomach and become the basis for adjusting the next prescription.
