Q. Can diet herbal medicine cause side effects like heart palpitations or insomnia?

A.

Depending on your constitution and health status, heart palpitations or insomnia may occur. However, receiving a customized prescription based on an accurate diagnosis can help minimize these discomforts.

📝 Detailed Answer

Some patients worry about insomnia or a racing heart after taking diet herbal medicine. In fact, these reactions can occur during the process of increasing the basal metabolic rate.

In Traditional Korean Medicine, this is viewed as a symptom that appears when there is excessive stimulation in a state of Qi Deficiency (氣虛). If the body's energy is lacking while the metabolic rate suddenly increases, the body may struggle to keep up.

  • Constitutional Analysis: For those who are naturally sensitive or have weak vitality, the concentration of herbal ingredients must be finely adjusted.
  • Customized Prescription: Herbs that stabilize the mind and body can be incorporated to alleviate these discomforts.
  • Gradual Approach: Rather than using strong medication from the start, it is important to allow the body time to adapt.

However, since reactions vary by individual, a professional consultation is essential to find the prescription that suits your body. By accurately assessing and adjusting your current condition, you will be able to proceed much more comfortably.
