Q In what order does the clinic treat chronic fatigue?
A We first screen for causes that testing should identify, then examine the pulse, abdomen, sleep, digestion and body temperature to separate shortage from stagnation. Next we reduce the burden by clearing what has accumulated, replenish what is lacking, and lift circulation so it reaches the whole body. Finally we settle sleep and daily rhythm so the gains hold.
Detailed Answer
Where stagnation dominates, the clearing stage takes a larger share; where depletion dominates, the filling stage runs longer. Acupuncture and moxibustion release stiffened areas while herbal medicine matched to your state adds the material for recovery. For those who drop sharply as the seasons turn, we adjust the intensity of care around that time.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
The order matters. Filling while leaving accumulation in place makes you heavier; circulating without filling drains your strength. That is why we spend the first consultation deciding what comes first for you now.
