Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)

The foundation of POTS management is increasing fluid and salt intake, strengthening lower-body muscles, compression stockings, and avoiding sudden standing. In addition, herbal treatment approaches by strengthening the force that stabilizes circulation and replenishing depleted fluids and energy, helping the autonomic nervous system adapt better to postural changes. However, if an underlying cause such as hyperthyroidism or arrhythmia is present, that must be addressed as well, so it is advantageous for both effectiveness and safety to rule out causes through testing before treatment.

Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective

At Dongjedang, we first use pulse diagnosis and in-depth consultation to identify which is depleted — energy or fluids — and where the circulation balance has become disrupted. Based on this, we replenish what is lacking and evenly regulate circulation, which, when matched to each person's distinct pattern, leads to an actual reduction in palpitations and dizziness.
