Q How does acupuncture help with Hwa-byung?

A Acupuncture treatment at acupoints such as Taichong, Neiguan, and Hegu stabilizes the autonomic nervous system and lowers liver fire, thereby alleviating symptoms of Hwa-byung.

Detailed Answer

Acupuncture treatment for Hwabyung focuses on regulating the autonomic nervous system and stabilizing emotional regulation circuits. The dorsum of the foot (LV3) is a key acupoint that resolves liver qi stagnation and facilitates the release of angry emotions; the inner wrist (PC6) alleviates palpitations and chest tightness; and the hand (LI4) promotes the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body. Many patients experience a reduction in the sensation of heat and a sense of ease in breathing immediately after acupuncture treatment. Effects appear quickly when performed 1 to 2 times a week. At Dongjedang, patients often feel a sense of emotional liberation after acupuncture treatment. Utilizing this, performing short breathing relaxations immediately after treatment doubles the effect of stabilizing the nervous system. Since the first acupuncture treatment may involve tension, it is conducted in a calm atmosphere; female patients are welcome to inform us in advance if they prefer a female doctor, so we will accommodate them.
