Hello. This is Dr. Ji-yeon Hong, Director of Yon Oriental Clinic.
Perhaps because it's Family Month, we've been receiving many inquiries about our herbal medicines. Among them, I'd like to address some of the most frequently asked questions regarding Gongjindan and Gyeongokgo.
A. For moisturizing the bronchial tubes and lungs, and for boosting vitality, Gyeongokgo is the definite choice.
In addition, if you are a bit older and feel your energy is low, I recommend Deer Antler Gyeongokgo, which is enriched with deer antler velvet.
As this patient was originally taking Cheongin-yukwaehwan, we provided an additional prescription upon their inquiry while they were receiving their 4+1 set of Cheongin-yukwaehwan. We look forward to seeing positive improvements!
A. I recommend Gongjindan containing musk. The effects vary by musk content: Original Gongjindan > Musk Gongjindan > Musk Gongjindan Light.
The customer wanted to give a nice gift, so they ordered the 3+1 Original Gongjindan, planning to give two to their parents, one to their husband, and one to their brother-in-law. I... stopped them. I suggested they keep one for themselves because you need to be healthy to take care of your family. For the brother-in-law, who is younger and has fewer related symptoms, I suggested Gyeongokgo or Agarwood Gongjindan.
After much thought, they also added a 3+1 set of Deer Antler Gyeongokgo for their sister-in-law. I hope it makes for a wonderful gift, and I wish them well on their health journey.
A. I recommend Deer Antler Gongjindan.
Instead of musk, this version uses woody herb (Mokhyang) and is excellent for boosting energy. Furthermore, the woody herb helps circulate energy and alleviates abdominal pain, which is why I specifically recommend it for this student.
A. Certainly. Some patients come in with a clear plan. Since I am familiar with the parents' health history as they are also our patients, I confirmed it was suitable and provided a single prescription.
A few days later, they contacted me saying, "My mother said it's so good that she wants to do the 3+1 package so the whole family can take it. Could you re-prescribe it?"
A. I recommend Gongjindan, specifically Agarwood (Chimhyang) Gongjindan or higher.
Agarwood is a precious medicinal herb with effects similar to musk. Historically, it was consumed by kings for health and vitality. While the Original Gongjindan is the most effective for these cases, if the cost is a concern, I suggest starting with at least the Agarwood Gongjindan or Musk Gongjindan Light.
After taking the Agarwood Gongjindan, the patient felt less sensitive to coffee and gained more vitality, so they additionally requested Musk Gongjindan Light. Consistent consumption will reveal its full benefits.
Experience optimal effects through
proper consumption and storage.
Both should be taken before or between meals. (Personally, I recommend taking them on an empty stomach in the morning.) Take 2 packets of Gyeongokgo daily (morning/evening) and 1 pill of Gongjindan daily.
For Gongjindan, room temperature storage is fine for up to 3 months; after that, refrigeration is recommended. Consume within 6 months (maximum 1 year). It is recommended to consume Gyeongokgo as soon as possible as well.
Many choose the 3+1 package from the start, or start with single items, or decide to try different types later to find what suits them best.
During high-demand periods like Parents' Day, stocks may run low. Pre-booking ensures you receive your prescription without waiting, and you may also pick up your medication after a consultation.
