We recommend 2 to 3 months for menstrual pain and irregular periods, 3 to 6 months for menopause, and 3 to 6 months or more for fertility care. The prescription is adjusted to constitution and symptoms, and we advise on treatment length as we follow the response.

Q. Can I take herbal medicine during pregnancy?

A.

Yes, with carefully selected pregnancy-safe herbs only.

📝 Detailed Answer

Pregnancy herbal medicine is possible but requires special care: ① first trimester (1–12 weeks): minimum prescription only (morning sickness, fetal stability), ② mid-pregnancy (13–28 weeks): pregnancy-friendly herbs more available, ③ late pregnancy (29+ weeks): pre-delivery preparation herbs, ④ avoid: aggressive blood-moving herbs (Carthamus, Salvia), heat-clearing strong herbs, dampness-removing strong diuretics. Always inform the doctor of pregnancy first, and only take herbs prescribed for pregnant patients.
