Q In what order does Korean medicine treatment proceed? Do I have to get acupuncture or moxibustion too?
A Usually, after examination identifies your constitution and symptoms, we use herbal medicine to balance Yin and Yang, and treat heat and insomnia together with deep moxibustion, heat therapy, and acupuncture. We adjust the prescription as your symptoms change.
Detailed Answer
First, through examination, we identify your condition, such as whether it is mainly heat sensations or mainly low energy and depression. Accordingly, we prescribe herbal medicine that replenishes deficient Yin or releases stagnant energy, and use acupuncture and moxibustion to calm hot flashes, insomnia, and palpitations together. We adjust the prescription and treatment cycle as we monitor your progress.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
We structure treatment along the flow of warming the cold uterus (ongung), resolving stagnant blood stasis (hwalhyeol), and reinforcing function (boyang). To herbal medicine that replenishes fluids and brings down empty heat, we add deep moxibustion (wang-tteum), deep-heating therapy, and herbal steam (jwahun) therapy to deliver warmth and circulation deep into the lower abdomen, adjusting the intensity and interval according to how much the symptoms stabilize, so you can recover without strain.
