Q What stages does the exam-candidate fatigue tonic treatment follow?
A It proceeds through pulse diagnosis and consultation (identifying fatigue pattern and exam schedule) → composing a prescription combining Spleen-Stomach, Kidney Qi, and memory herbs → starting treatment → mid-point check-up (after 4-6 weeks) → condition optimization before the exam.
Detailed Answer
Stage 1: Pulse diagnosis to assess Spleen-Stomach function, Kidney Qi deficiency level, and sleep patterns, and confirm the exam schedule. Stage 2: Compose Spleen-Stomach strengthening + Kidney Qi replenishing + memory herbs aligned with the exam schedule. Stage 3: Mid-point check-up 4-6 weeks after starting treatment (checking changes in concentration, sleep, digestion). Stage 4: Switch to condition-optimizing prescription 2-4 weeks before the exam. Stage 5: Post-exam recovery prescription for depleted Qi-Blood (if needed).
