Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for body conditioning usually takes 7 to 30 days to take effect and should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
If TCM is used to treat acute conditions such as wind-cold or wind-heat common cold, the time required may be shorter, potentially taking only 7 days.
For chronic conditions, such as spleen and stomach weakness or headaches, the onset of symptoms may be longer, and the conditioning period will also be longer, potentially requiring 30 days.
During the use of TCM, patients need to strictly follow the doctor's instructions for rational drug use and avoid blindly discontinuing or changing medications, which may fail to achieve the therapeutic effect and easily cause adverse effects on the body.
If adverse reactions such as skin redness, swelling, nausea, or vomiting occur during medication, it is necessary to promptly visit a formal hospital for diagnosis and treatment after identifying the cause through examination to avoid delaying the condition.
In daily life, it is recommended to maintain a regular schedule, avoid staying up late, and pay attention to balancing work and rest to avoid overexertion.
Maintain a light diet, appropriately increasing the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables such as apples, tomatoes, and baby bok choy, and avoid high-fat and spicy foods such as crispy pork belly, fried chicken, and spicy hot pot, which may affect the therapeutic effect of the medication.
