When you first come in, we ask in detail when the leg discomfort started, what kind of sensation it is, when it is most severe during the day, and how much it affects your sleep. To determine whether blood deficiency or kidney yin deficiency is present, we also assess your overall stamina, sleep, digestion, and—if you are a woman—your menstrual condition. If you have neurology medications or blood test results, we review those together.

Herbal Clinic Perspective

At Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic, close to Dongincheon and in Dong-gu, Incheon, even with the same RLS diagnosis, the prescription differs depending on whether it is a blood-deficiency type, a kidney-yin-deficiency type, or a qi-stagnation (氣滞) type. At the first consultation, we distinguish the type through the eight-principle pattern differentiation and guide you toward an individualized treatment direction.
