Why does my loved one hold food in their mouth without swallowing? (Loss of Appetite)

Slow gastrointestinal motility is impairing digestion, which is why you're not feeling hungry. Forcing meals will only lead to vomiting or a more pronounced refusal to eat. We need to help you feel "hunger" using Korean herbal medicine (e.g., Bojungikki-tang) that supports spleen-stomach function.
