Q Could taking Sipjeondaebo-tang actually cause fever or not suit my body?
A If you have excess-heat pattern constitution or currently have a cold or inflammation, taking Sipjeondaebo-tang may cause heat sensations or headaches. It must always be taken after pulse diagnosis confirms a deficiency pattern.
Detailed Answer
Tonics that replenish Qi and Blood are formulas for deficiency patterns. If you have excess body heat (excess-heat pattern) or currently have a cold or acute inflammation, taking it may worsen heat and inflammation. If heat sensation, headache, or indigestion occurs during use, stop immediately and contact the clinic.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
At Dongjedang, we first confirm through pulse diagnosis whether the current pattern is deficiency or excess. If the body has excess heat, instead of this Qi-Blood tonifying medicine, we choose an alternative formula that clears heat while replenishing Qi and Blood. During a cold, we advise waiting until it resolves before starting the tonic.
