I gain weight and feel foggy while on antidepressants. Is Korean herbal medicine different?

While Western medicine directly regulates neurotransmitters, it can have side effects such as weight gain or sexual dysfunction. Traditional Korean medicine, however, is an approach that helps improve qi and blood circulation and enhances the body's self-healing capacity without these side effects. It can be used in conjunction with Western medicine and gradually tapered off.

약을 평생 먹을 순 없으니까요.

  • 다이어트: 한방 신경 안정제는 대사를 떨어뜨리지 않아 비만 부작용이 거의 없습니다.
  • 감정: 약으로 감정을 무디게 하는 게 아니라, 내 안의 생명력을 키워 우울을 걷어내는 원리입니다.

임의로 양약을 끊으면 위험합니다. 한의사와 상의하여 계획적으로 감량해야 합니다.
