Q Is Gyeongokgo also effective for skin beauty? I'm thinking of taking it instead of dermatology procedures.
A Gyeongokgo improves skin elasticity and moisture by replenishing the body's internal fluids rather than working on the skin's surface. It differs from the immediate effects of dermatology procedures, but it is meaningful as a long-term approach that improves the skin's environment from within.
Detailed Answer
The rehmannia in Gyeongokgo aids skin cell regeneration and improves skin moisture by replenishing body fluids. However, rather than comparing it to the immediate, localized effects of dermatology procedures (Botox, filler, laser), it is best understood as a way to improve from within a state where the skin is overall dry and dull due to fluid deficiency.
Traditional Korean Medicine Perspective
At Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic, even when prescribing Gyeongokgo for skin beauty, we prescribe it after confirming whether the root of the skin problem is fluid deficiency. When the inside is replenished, the skin naturally improves: that is the way of the Korean medicine approach.
