Q It's realistically hard to cut back on company drinking, late-night snacks, and coffee. Is a tonic meaningful while I live like this?
A Even if you can't change completely, tonic treatment is still meaningful. However, since drinking, late-night snacks, and excessive caffeine keep generating the causes of fatigue, it is better to cut back even gradually to fully benefit from the tonic.
Detailed Answer
Drinking directly overworks the Liver and worsens Liver qi stagnation, while late-night snacks overwork the Spleen-Stomach and interfere with the next day's digestion and energy production. Caffeine masks fatigue through its stimulant effect, but the consumption of qi and blood continues. Even if it's hard to change everything at once, simply reducing drinking to once a week or eliminating late-night snacks during treatment can change the tonic's effect.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic, during medication counseling we work with you to find what you can realistically cut back on first. It doesn't have to be perfect. Small changes greatly enhance the tonic's effect.
