Miple ClinicWhat is Gongjindan herbal diet medicine? A diet that replenishes while slimming
Gongjindan herbal diet medicine is a prescription that combines a 'slimming medicine' and a 'replenishing medicine' into one. When people diet, the number on the scale goes down but they feel low on energy, their immunity drops, and many end up exhausted and give up. Herbal diet medicine with Gongjindan was created to address exactly this problem.
Why Gongjindan for dieting?
Gongjindan (拱辰丹) is a tonic medicine recorded in the 'Dongui Bogam' that was traditionally offered to the royal court. Four herbs share the work of protecting the stamina, immunity, and mind that tend to give way during a diet.
| Herbs | Role during a diet |
|---|---|
| Musk (麝香) | Opens blocked qi and calms body and mind, reducing stress-driven binge eating |
| Deer antler (鹿茸) | Replenishes vitality and protects stamina and immunity |
| Cornus fruit (山茱萸) | Eases chronic fatigue and gives the strength to keep going |
| Angelica root (當歸) | Replenishes blood to look after complexion, skin, and the menstrual cycle in women |
Dual structure: the spear and the shield
Gongjindan herbal diet medicine combines two groups of medicinals in a carefully balanced ratio.
- The slimming medicine (spear) — core diet herbs such as ephedra (mahuang), wild ginseng, atractylodes, poria, and coix seed boost metabolism and reduce swelling.
- The replenishing medicine (shield) — Gongjindan replenishes the qi, blood, and immunity that drop during weight loss.
Why the manufacturing method matters: vacuum low-temperature drying
Musk and deer antler, the core of Gongjindan, are highly sensitive to heat, so ordinary high-temperature drying easily destroys their active components. That is why they must be made by vacuum low-temperature drying, which removes moisture under low-temperature vacuum, to preserve the components as they are.
