Q I heard the term "liver qi stagnation" — what's the principle behind how Gongjindan resolves it?
A Liver qi stagnation is a state where stress and overwork block the liver's energy, disrupting circulation throughout the body. Musk (麝香) in Gongjindan powerfully opens the blocked energy, while deer antler, angelica root, and Cornus fruit quickly replenish depleted qi and blood.
Detailed Answer
In Korean medicine, the liver regulates the flow of qi and blood. When stress, overwork, and drinking accumulate, the liver's ability to keep things flowing becomes blocked, causing qi stagnation (鬱滯). Once this happens, energy fails to reach the whole body, and fatigue, headaches, eye strain, indigestion, and sleep problems can all appear at once.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Musk, the key ingredient of Gongjindan, powerfully opens blocked energy and revives circulation throughout the body. Combined with deer antler for qi, angelica root for blood, and Cornus fruit for kidney essence, it supports rapid recovery. The defining feature of Gongjindan is that it opens blockages while replenishing deficiencies at the same time.
