Heat-Cold Imbalance

When the sensation of heat and lower-body coldness occur together, it's easy to worry that reducing the heat will make you colder, or that warming will make the heat worse. But heat-cold imbalance is not two separate problems — it is one imbalance where heat and circulation fail to flow evenly between upper and lower body. So bringing down the heat above and drawing circulation down reduces the sensation of heat while also warming the lower body, easing the coldness at the same time.

Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective

Rather than simply eliminating heat or just warming indiscriminately, Dongjedang focuses on circulating the heat that has concentrated above down to the lower body, connecting the upper and lower body. Using pulse diagnosis to assess the degree of each patient's imbalance, we balance the strength of heat reduction against lower-body warming, so both the sensation of heat and coldness can be addressed together in one direction.
