Customized Restorative Herbal Medicine: Distinguish These Three Things

  • Different from fixed prescriptions in terms of composition and formulation
  • Total ingredients and dosage determined after medical evaluation
  • Current medications and test results are reviewed first

Customized restorative herbal medicine is a medical approach where the entire composition of the Korean herbal medicine is individually determined by reviewing your current condition, purpose of intake, digestion, sleep, and current medications.

The operational method differs from Baekrokdam Gongjindan and Gyeongokgo, which have fixed ingredients and concentrations. If a fixed composition is not suitable, customized restorative herbal medicine may be recommended based on the medical evaluation results.

How is it different from Gongjindan and Gyeongokgo?

Gongjindan and Gyeongokgo are prescriptions with a set composition and intake guidelines. Customized restorative herbal medicine is not a method of choosing from pre-determined herbal medicines; instead, the ingredients, dosage, and duration of intake are decided after confirming current discomforts and treatment goals during the medical evaluation. This does not mean one is better than the other, but rather that the required approach differs based on your current needs.

What should I prepare before the medical evaluation?

Please write down your most uncomfortable symptoms and when they started, as well as any recent changes in sleep, digestion, bowel movements, or menstruation. A list of medications, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, and health functional supplements, and recent test results are also required. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or awaiting surgery, you must inform us before the Korean herbal medicine is determined.

What should I monitor after I start taking the medicine?

Record whether the initially set goals are actually being met, along with any new symptoms such as digestive discomfort, changes in sleep, or rashes. Do not change the dosage or ingredient composition on your own; if discomfort occurs or other medications are added, Follow-up consultationplease check whether to maintain, adjust, or stop the treatment.
