Q I'm a busy office worker. How often do I need to visit to receive Korean medicine treatment for post-nasal drip?
A In the early stage, visiting once or twice a week is ideal, but once you receive an herbal decoction prescription, the treatment effect is maintained between visits. Even once a week allows sufficiently meaningful treatment, and we use three months as the standard period for the first course of treatment.
Detailed Answer
The structure combines in-clinic treatment (acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, nasal treatment) with self-administered decoctions at home. Twice a week: intensive early treatment with faster reduction of secretions. Once a week: a realistic frequency for office workers and those caring for family members, with the decoction covering the days between visits. Every other week: the maintenance stage once symptoms have stabilized. First evaluation standard (three months): we compare the degree of throat sensation, changes in secretion color and amount, and cough frequency against the initial visit. If improvement is sufficient, we switch to maintenance treatment every other week or once a month; if insufficient, we adjust the decoction or treatment method. For office workers in the Dongincheon area of Incheon, we recommend booking during lunch breaks or after work.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Acupuncture treatment directly addresses nasal circulation while the decoction manages the internal environment daily. Even with fewer visits, consistently continuing the decoction is the key to maintaining treatment continuity.
