Q How long after starting treatment can I expect to feel my body getting lighter?
A Mild, exertion-related fatigue often shows change within a few weeks, while long-standing chronic fatigue generally needs 2-3 months or more of consistent management to stabilize. Recovery speed depends on how deep the depletion is and on your lifestyle habits.
Detailed Answer
Recovery time tends to be proportional to how long and how deeply the fatigue has accumulated. Fatigue from recent overexertion tends to respond relatively quickly, while fatigue that has drained the body over years takes longer to replenish. Combining treatment with sleep, diet, and activity management helps recovery happen faster and last longer.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Dongjedang proceeds in sequence — from the foundational stage of replenishing energy through to balancing the organ systems and finally clearing accumulated waste. In the first stage, you'll typically feel "less sluggish" first, and as the stages progress, the pace is adjusted so that recovery settles in stably.
