5. Can I take herbal medicine alongside Western medication?
In most cases, yes. We advise maintaining a minimum one-hour gap between taking herbal medicine and Western medication. We also encourage you to discuss your combined treatment plan with your prescribing doctor for added peace of mind.
6. Why should I take herbal medicine one hour after a meal?
Taking herbs after eating helps protect the stomach lining and prevents potential nausea. It also ensures the herbs are absorbed steadily as your body processes the meal.
7. How flexible is the timing for taking herbal medicine?
The timing is flexible within a window of about 15 minutes. While the one-hour gap after a meal is ideal, taking it slightly earlier or later is generally acceptable. The most important factor is maintaining a consistent daily routine.
8. If I only eat two meals a day, how should I space my medicine?
You should maintain a minimum of 8 hours between doses. To follow the recommendation of taking herbs one hour after eating, ensure your two meals are spaced far enough apart to allow for this 8-hour gap.
9. Do I need to bring my medical files?
Yes, it is necessary and highly helpful for your assessment. We provide specific reminders about this when you complete your registration form.
