Q How often should I visit the Korean medicine clinic for food intolerance, and how long should I expect treatment to take?
A Initially, acupuncture and herbal medicine are combined 1–2 times per week, reducing to every 2 weeks as symptoms stabilize. Generally, a 2–3 month baseline treatment period is expected, and bringing a food diary helps track progress faster.
Detailed Answer
Food intolerance treatment aims at intestinal lining recovery and strengthening spleen-stomach function, so consistency is more important than short-term treatment. Busy patients can proceed with biweekly visits, with herbal medicine at the center of treatment. Bringing a food and symptom diary at each visit helps accurately assess treatment response and adjust prescriptions.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
The response in the first month of treatment is evaluated to coordinate prescriptions and dietary guidance. Progress is confirmed step by step as symptoms decrease and the range of tolerable foods increases.
