Q In what order does the clinic treat cold sensitivity?
A We first screen for causes that testing should identify, then examine the temperature of the abdomen and extremities, the pulse, digestion and sleep to separate an inability to make heat from an inability to circulate it. Next, moxibustion and acupuncture warm the lower abdomen and back while releasing stiffened areas, and herbal medicine matched to your state raises the foundation for producing heat. Finally we settle meals, activity and warming habits so it holds.
Detailed Answer
For those with a cold interior and weak digestion, lifting the strength of digestion comes first. Where tension constricts the periphery, we weight treatment towards releasing the neck, shoulders and pelvis. Managing this before the seasons turn makes winter far easier.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
The order matters. Circulating without the foundation drains your energy, and warming while leaving the blockage in place lasts only for the moment. That is why we spend the first consultation deciding which comes first.
