Q What's the difference between Sipjeondaebo-tang extract sold online and a prescription from a Korean medicine clinic?
A Commercial extracts are manufactured with a standardized composition, identical for everyone. A clinic prescription is customized, based on pulse diagnosis of current condition, with the herbal composition and ratios adjusted to fit the individual constitution.
Detailed Answer
Commercial Qi-Blood tonic extracts are mass-produced with a standard composition, offering convenience but taken without checking individual constitution or current condition. Taking them when unsuited, such as with an excess-heat constitution, can cause discomfort. A clinic prescription is customized after pulse diagnosis assesses deficiency status, constitution, and the Qi-Blood balance, making it safer and more effective.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
At Dongjedang, even the same Qi-Blood tonifying medicine has different added herbs for each patient. Receiving a prescription after a constitution check is more advantageous than taking it without pulse diagnosis, both for effectiveness and safety.
