Q In Korean medicine, in what specific order is dizziness and tinnitus treated?
A Dongjedang takes a three-stage approach: clearing (cheongsang) the heat and pressure gathered in the head, detoxifying (haedok) to remove blood stasis and phlegm, and circulating (sunhwan) to revive blood flow to the brain and inner ear. We proceed step by step, adding nasal bloodletting and craniosacral chuna to acupuncture and herbal medicine.
Detailed Answer
Treatment of dizziness and tinnitus is designed in stages according to the acute and chronic phases of the symptoms and the pattern type. In the acute phase, we calm the dizziness and tinnitus themselves, and once stabilized, we shift toward reinforcing the body's function so that it does not recur.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Dongjedang's treatment follows the principle of three stages: clearing (cheongsang), detoxifying (haedok), and circulating (sunhwan). (1) Clearing: we bring down the heat and pressure that have gathered in the head from stress and digestive burden. (2) Detoxifying: we remove the blood stasis and phlegm that block the cerebral vessels and inner ear. (3) Circulating: with a tailored herbal formula we reinforce the function of the internal organs, while at the same time correcting structural misalignment with nasal bloodletting therapy or craniosacral chuna to smooth the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid and blood. It is a flow that revives not only the ear and symptoms but the whole body's circulation and balance.
