Q I am an office worker in my 30s living in Dong-gu, Incheon. How often do I need to come in for eczema treatment at Dongjeedang?
A During the acute phase, 2~3 visits per week are recommended, reducing to once a week as symptoms stabilize. Herbal medicine prescriptions are typically reviewed and adjusted every 2 weeks. The total treatment period is approximately 3 months as a baseline, and office workers can maintain treatment without strain by using evening or Saturday consultations.
Detailed Answer
The general flow of the Dongjeedang eczema treatment schedule is as follows. During the acute phase (weeks 1~4), 2~3 acupuncture sessions per week and herbal prescriptions adjusted every 2 weeks aim for rapid stabilization. During the stable phase (subsequent months), visits are reduced to once a week with extended herbal prescription intervals. As seen in actual chronic dyshidrotic eczema cases, consistent treatment at regular intervals for about 3 months is important.
Traditional Korean Medicine Perspective
Dongjeedang is conveniently located near Dong-incheon Station in Dong-gu, Incheon, making it easily accessible for both office workers and self-employed individuals. To follow the 3 steps of heat-clearing detoxification, immune stabilization, and skin regeneration in order, visits at appropriate intervals for each stage are necessary; therefore, the guideline is to come in more frequently early on and gradually extend the intervals as the condition stabilizes.
