#Treatment Stages

Q When I visit for the first time, in what order does the treatment proceed?

A At the first visit, we use pulse diagnosis and body-heat diagnosis to assess the state of heat-above and cold-below and to identify Liver-Wind and phlegm-fluid patterns, and we determine the spasm location, duration, and accompanying symptoms. We then begin stage one with customized herbal medicine plus facial pharmacopuncture and electroacupuncture.

Detailed Answer

Stage 1 (cause analysis): Using pulse diagnosis and thermal imaging, we diagnose the degree of heat rising in the head and face and the state of Liver qi stagnation and phlegm-fluid. We take a detailed history of spasm frequency, duration, and triggering situations. Stage 2 (stabilizing the underlying condition): Using Cheonma-gudeung-eum (Gastrodia and Uncaria decoction) family herbal medicine, we manage Liver-Wind and phlegm-fluid and begin cheongsang treatment to draw the risen heat downward. Stage 3 (direct meridian treatment): We apply pharmacopuncture and electroacupuncture to the acupoints along the facial nerve path to locally regulate nerve overexcitability. Stage 4 (maintenance and relapse prevention): Once the spasm stabilizes, we lengthen the visit intervals and provide guidance on self-care methods.

Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective

The key is to carry out symptom suppression (electroacupuncture) and improvement of the underlying environment (herbal medicine) at the same time. The acupuncture that manages the local area and the herbal medicine that stabilizes from within work synergistically with each other.
