Q Will herbal medicine really make my hands and feet warm like everyone else's? Please tell me honestly.
A Rather than completely changing your inborn constitution, a realistic goal is raising your currently excessive cold sensitivity to a comfortable warmth suited to your age and constitution. The change is greater and lasts longer when combined with warmth-keeping, exercise, and diet.
Detailed Answer
Honestly speaking, herbal medicine alone will not completely change an inborn constitution overnight. Cold sensitivity is a matter of addressing the cause and building circulatory strength to reduce discomfort. However, when cause-appropriate treatment combines with warmth-keeping, circulation exercise, and warm meals, many people feel comfortable enough to notice the change themselves, moving away from being so cold they can't sleep.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Instead of exaggerated promises, Dongjedang aims for real change—finding what's lacking through pulse diagnosis, supplementing it, and releasing blocked circulation to restore balance. The key is changing a body that only felt warmth from outside sources into one that generates its own heat and circulates it evenly, and once this direction takes hold, warmth lasts.
