Q I'm looking for a Korean Medicine clinic for insomnia near Dong-gu, Incheon or Dongincheon. How does the first consultation work?
A In the first consultation, we carefully assess your sleep pattern (time to fall asleep, number of awakenings, total sleep time), accompanying symptoms, and whether you are taking any sleeping pills. After pattern differentiation, we establish a plan combining herbal medicine and acupuncture treatment.
Detailed Answer
On your first visit, we determine when your sleep problems began and what type they are—difficulty falling asleep, waking during the night, or waking too early in the early morning. We also check for accompanying anxiety, depression, digestive issues, or palpitations, and whether you are currently taking any sleeping pills or anti-anxiety medication. Based on this, we differentiate which pattern applies—Heart-Gallbladder Deficiency (simdam-heogeop), Heart-Spleen Yang Deficiency (simbi-yangheo), or Non-interaction of Heart and Kidney (simsin-bulgyo)—and establish a plan combining herbal medicine and acupuncture treatment.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Dongjedang is located near Dong-gu and Dongincheon in Incheon, and same-day consultations are available. We believe that the longer you have endured the problem, the more important it is to talk things through thoroughly at the first consultation, so please allow ample time for your first visit.
