Q What is the process like at the clinic for facial flushing? This is my first visit, so I am curious how it works.
A We first check the pattern of when and how the flushing occurs and rule out any warning signs, then combine acupuncture and herbal medicine matched to your constitution and cause type while monitoring your progress.
Detailed Answer
The visit begins with a detailed intake covering the situations that trigger your flushing (stress, food, or overlapping with menopause), how often and how long it lasts, and any accompanying symptoms. During this process we also check for warning signs such as headache, blurred vision, or chest pain. From there, we combine acupuncture with herbal medicine matched to your constitution and the type of cause, checking in every few weeks on changes in the frequency and intensity of flushing to adjust the treatment direction as needed.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
We place the greatest importance on carefully distinguishing the pattern of flushing at the first visit. Since the approach differs depending on the underlying cause type even for the same facial flushing, we build a treatment plan tailored to you through intake and observation, then adjust it as we monitor your progress.
