Q Is it safe to take Yongdamsagan-tang for a long time?
A Yongdamsagan-tang has a strongly cold nature, so long-term use may weaken digestion. It should be taken under a doctor's guidance.
Detailed Answer
Yongdamsagan-tang is a formula that strongly clears heat from the liver and gallbladder and is effective in the acute phase of anger control disorder, but the following cautions are needed. Because of its strongly cold nature, those with weak digestion may experience reduced appetite and abdominal coldness with long-term use. Generally, we review progress every 2-4 weeks and change the prescription. Once symptoms stabilize, we switch to gentler liver-soothing (so-gan) formulas such as Sihosogan-tang. Do not take it on your own for a long period; it must be prescribed under a Korean medicine doctor's diagnosis. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, be sure to consult before taking it.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic, we shift prescriptions step by step according to the treatment stage-from heat-clearing (cheong-yeol) to liver-soothing (so-gan), and finally to nourishing the liver and blood (bo-gan, bo-hyeol). We check progress every 2 weeks to ensure the prescription suits your body.
