Gongjindan (拱辰丹) is one of the representative tonic herbal medicines recorded in the Donguibogam, formulated with precious ingredients such as deer antler (Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum), musk (Moschus), Angelica gigas root, and Cornus officinalis fruit.
Who benefits most from Gongjindan
- Those suffering from chronic fatigue and decreased vitality
- Students and others exhausted by excessive mental work
- Those who get sick frequently and need stronger immunity
- Those in the recovery period after major surgery or illness
Because Gongjindan strongly replenishes the innate vital energy, it goes beyond simple fatigue relief and helps strengthen the constitution itself. However, since the prescription may vary by individual constitution and health condition, please take it only after a Korean medicine doctor's pulse diagnosis.
