Q Could taking Sipjeondaebotang actually cause a fever or not suit my body?
A If you have an excess-heat condition (a constitution with a lot of internal heat) or currently have a cold or inflammation, taking Sipjeondaebotang may cause heat sensations or headaches. You must always confirm through pulse diagnosis that you have a deficiency condition before taking it.
Detailed Answer
Sipjeondaebotang is a tonic that replenishes qi and blood, used for deficiency conditions. If you have a lot of internal heat (an excess-heat condition), or are currently in a state of cold or acute inflammation, taking it may worsen the heat and inflammation. If you experience heat sensations, headache, or indigestion while taking it, stop immediately and contact the clinic.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic first confirms through pulse diagnosis whether you currently have a deficiency or an excess condition. In an excess-heat state, instead of Sipjeondaebotang, we choose a different formula that clears heat while replenishing qi and blood. During a cold, we advise starting to take it after the cold has resolved.
