Q Is herbal medicine safe for my kidneys and liver?
A Herbal medicine prescribed to match your diagnosis does not burden the liver or kidneys when taken for the recommended period. If your kidney function is already reduced, please let us know and we will adjust the formula accordingly.
Detailed Answer
Concerns about herbal medicine safety often stem from indiscriminate folk remedies or unverified products. Herbal medicine prescribed in accordance with a proper diagnosis does not place a burden on the liver or kidneys when taken for the designated period. If your kidney function is already impaired, please be sure to inform us during your consultation so that we can adjust the formula to avoid any strain on the kidneys.
Traditional Medicine Perspective
In traditional Korean medicine, there is active research into approaches that protect kidney function by supplementing the kidney yin energy through targeted formulas. If you experience any adverse reaction during treatment, please notify us immediately and we will re-evaluate the prescription. When necessary, we also refer to blood test results to ensure safe management.
