Q Can I exercise while taking Sipjeondaebo-tang?
A Light aerobic exercise (walking, swimming) helps circulate Qi and Blood and enhances the effect of Sipjeondaebo-tang. However, in the early stage when Qi and Blood are severely deficient, avoid strenuous exercise, and gradually increase intensity as your condition improves.
Detailed Answer
Exercise helps activate Qi-Blood circulation, which supports absorption and effectiveness of the tonic. However, strenuous exercise while severely deficient in Qi and Blood actually depletes them further. In the early period of taking the medicine, start with 20-30 minutes of light walking daily, then gradually increase exercise intensity as your energy recovers.
