RLS treatment at Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic proceeds in stages.

Step 1 (diagnosis and planning, 1–2 weeks): Using the eight-principle pattern differentiation, we distinguish the blood-deficiency and kidney-yin-deficiency types and identify your current neurology medications to establish a treatment plan.

Step 2 (intensive treatment, 1–2 months): While taking herbal medicine in the Samul-tang plus Yukmijihwang-tang family daily, you receive acupuncture and moxibustion at Sanyinjiao (SP6), Zusanli (ST36), and Taixi (KI3) once or twice a week to improve lower-limb circulation. We periodically check nighttime symptom frequency and sleep quality.

Step 3 (maintenance and conclusion, 1–2 months): Once symptoms are 70% or more stable, we extend the interval between visits and adjust neurology medication in stages. We conclude with lifestyle guidance to prevent recurrence.

Herbal Clinic Perspective

The pace of treatment varies with individual stamina and the degree of blood deficiency. We flexibly adjust the stages to match your progress, and keeping a sleep diary helps us track changes more accurately.
