Q. How long should I take herbal medicine for skin?
Acute phase: 2–4 weeks; chronic/recurring conditions: 2–3 months. For constitutional improvement, consistent intake for 3–6 months prevents recurrence.
📝 Detailed Answer
The skin is an area where change is slow. Viewing it in units of months is more realistic.
Itching and sleep sometimes show change comparatively early. By contrast, the skin condition itself settling and the frequency of flares decreasing takes longer.
We do not use the first prescription unchanged to the end. The direction of the prescription differs between a period of severe inflammation and a stable period. We adjust while watching the course at two- to four-week intervals.
If your digestion becomes uncomfortable or your stool pattern changes while taking it, please tell us. Skin prescriptions are sometimes a burden on digestion, so we check this part.
