Mental Wellness Clinic

Mental Wellness Clinic

Tests come back normal, but your chest feels tight and you can't fall asleep?

Mental illness is invisible,
but the body sends honest signals.

Palpitations & Unease

Your heart suddenly races and you feel like you can't breathe —
overwhelming anxiety hits for no apparent reason.

😔

Low Mood & Lethargy

Getting out of bed is a struggle; nothing feels worth doing.
You're always exhausted and unmotivated.

😣

Difficulty Sleeping

You can't fall asleep, or you keep waking up at night.
Even after sleeping, you still feel drained.

😵

Stress Overload

When work, relationship, and exam stress pile up,
headaches, indigestion, and chest tightness follow.

Special Diagnosis System

For emotional discomfort, we look at the body's balance first

Many patients visit us because they have trouble sleeping, feel low, or experience a racing heart. Quite a few have already tried various approaches to manage these. However, in Korean medicine, we believe that 'the body must be at ease for the mind to rest.'

When the Heart (心) overheats, you feel anxious and restless for no reason.
When the Liver (肝) qi stagnates, you become irritable and your chest feels tight.
When the Spleen (脾) weakens, thoughts spiral endlessly and sleep becomes elusive.

동제당한의원 does not merely suppress symptoms. Through pulse and abdominal diagnosis, we precisely assess how the balance of the Heart · Liver · Spleen has been disrupted, and where the flow of qi and blood (氣血) has become blocked.

Correcting the body's imbalance so that the brain can naturally find its own stability — this is the approach of caring for both body and mind that 동제당한의원 pursues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I'm taking psychiatric medication — can I take herbal medicine at the same time?

A. Yes, you can. Please do not adjust your current medication on your own — always consult the medical institution that prescribed it. Herbal medicine is used alongside, in a way that helps restore your body's balance.

Q. Can treatment really make me better?

A. Mental wellness is about 'management and regulation.' We restore your body's balance and cultivate the strength to cope with stress on your own.

Q. Do you also provide counseling?

A. Rather than professional psychological counseling, we focus on Korean medical treatment and lifestyle guidance. For in-depth counseling needs, we can refer you to a specialized center.
