Gyeongokgo (瓊玉膏) is a traditional tonic prescription made from fresh Rehmannia root (生地黃), Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng, 人蔘), Poria (Poria cocos, 白茯苓), and honey. It is excellent for replenishing body fluids and reinforcing the lungs and kidneys.
Key benefits of Gyeongokgo
- Relief of chronic fatigue: Replenishes qi and blood for sustained vitality
- Respiratory support: Eases dry cough, dry throat, and other respiratory symptoms
- Stronger immunity: Helps prevent seasonal colds and improves stamina
While Gongjindan is a prescription that lifts vital energy, Gyeongokgo is a prescription that replenishes body fluids and yin. Used together according to constitution, the two can be even more effective.
