Q What is the process for getting a customized tonic prescribed?
A It proceeds in this order: pulse diagnosis and consultation → assessing constitution and qi-blood-yin-yang excess/deficiency → confirming the purpose (immunity, fatigue, gift, etc.) → customized herbal composition → in-house decoction → dispensing with dosing guidance.
Detailed Answer
Step 1: Through pulse diagnosis we assess constitution, qi-blood-yin-yang excess and deficiency, and main symptoms. Step 2: We confirm the purpose (acute fatigue recovery, immune strengthening, anti-aging, gift, etc.) and budget. Step 3: We decide the herbal composition optimized for your constitution and state. Step 4: We prepare it directly in our in-house decoction room. Step 5: At dispensing we explain in detail how to take it, how to store it, food restrictions, and expected effects. Step 6: If needed, a follow-up visit after 3 months to check your state and re-prescribe.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic we do not simply sell tonics. After pulse diagnosis we confirm whether it is the prescription that best fits your current state, and if not, our principle is to tell you honestly.
