Q What's the process for getting a Gyeongokgo prescription?
A After booking a first visit, we check via pulse diagnosis and consultation whether your constitution suits Gyeongokgo. Once prescribed, it's prepared in our in-house preparation room for pickup, and typically renewed every 3 months.
Detailed Answer
Gyeongokgo cannot be given right away without a pulse diagnosis. At your first visit, we assess your current dryness symptoms, energy level, medications, and underlying conditions to determine suitability. The herbal composition is then adjusted to your constitution and condition, and prepared in-house. Since preparation takes time, please book ahead before visiting.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
At Dongjedang, if the pulse diagnosis reveals that a different tonic would suit you better than Gyeongokgo, we'll tell you honestly. Depending on your condition, Gongjindan or a custom deer antler tonic might be a better fit, so we recommend thorough consultation before prescribing.
