Are you nervous and shaking? "I might ruin my work because I'm so sleepy." Here's how to take it.

As demand for 'Cheongsimhwan' increases to relieve anxiety and nervousness ahead of the college entrance exam, it is recommended that it be taken after consulting with a specialist to reduce side effects.

Recently, according to the Korean Medical Association, if students purchase 'Woohwangcheongsimhwan' or 'Cheonwangbosimdan' to relieve stress and take them the day before or on the day of the CSAT, they may ruin the test due to side effects such as drowsiness.

Woohwangcheongsimhwan, commonly known as Cheongsimhwan, is a recommended herbal medicine for students preparing for exams, as it relieves tension and alleviates stress-related headaches. Cheonwangbosimdan is also used to alleviate symptoms such as anxiety and insomnia, and is recommended for students seeking stability.

However, taking it without a proper diagnosis can lead to side effects. The Korean Medical Association stated, "Taking Cheongsimhwan without anxiety or agitation can actually cause drowsiness or decreased concentration." They added, "Cheonwangbosimdan also has side effects such as diarrhea and dizziness, so special caution is advised when taking it before the CSAT."

The same goes for Gongjindan. Gongjindan is a herbal medicine known to enhance learning ability and boost the immune system. While it can aid long-term study, overuse can lead to side effects like increased nervousness and heart palpitations, so caution is advised.

The Korean Medical Association said, “Since Cheongsimhwan and Gongjindan are relatively familiar herbal medicines, some test takers may not pay attention and take them the day before or on the day of the CSAT. However, if taken without considering the constitution and dosage, it can actually cause side effects.”

He continued, “It is effective to take it 1-2 weeks before the CSAT to observe the body’s reactions, etc., and then take it at an appropriate time according to the diagnosis and prescription of an oriental medicine doctor.”

============

I remember taking a sedative during the interview.

1-2 times

I don't think I'm receiving it well~

Rather, it seems that there are side effects depending on the constitution.

This should be especially noted for test takers.
