Q Can heat-cold imbalance be completely cured with Korean medicine? Please be honest with me.
A Rather than disappearing all at once, a realistic goal is to stabilize the upper-lower circulation that has drifted out of step, reducing the sensation of heat and coldness so daily life becomes comfortable again. When treatment and lifestyle care work together, the swings in symptoms noticeably become much milder.
Detailed Answer
Honestly speaking, heat-cold imbalance is less a disease that disappears all at once and more something you manage by restoring the balance of upper-lower circulation. Especially with a background factor like menopause, it takes time. However, once other causes are ruled out, and treatment that brings down heat and warms the lower body is combined with lower-body-warming and circulation care, facial flushing and cold hands and feet often noticeably decrease, making daily life more comfortable.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Rather than making exaggerated promises, Dongjedang aims for real change — using pulse diagnosis to find where heat has concentrated and where the body has cooled, and restoring balance. Turning a body that is hot above and cold below into one where circulation flows evenly is the core of treatment, and once this direction takes hold, a comfortable condition tends to last.
