What process follows a diet herbal medicine prescription, and why do reactions differ between people?
Before prescribing, review digestion, swelling, appetite, and constitution to set the herbal direction. Monitor reactions and lifestyle together; adaptation and change can differ by constitution.
First review appetite, digestion, energy, swelling, lifestyle, and factors such as Biheo, Dameum, and Eohyeol. Use the result to consider the prescription direction.
During use, observe appetite, condition, and digestion and adjust eating and activity habits. Do not assume discomfort is simply normal adaptation; discuss it with a clinician.
Constitution, health, goals, and daily pattern differ, so timing and degree of reaction are not fixed. Rather than applying another person’s experience, keep records before and after use and review your own course.
