My Body Changed After Childbirth | Songdo Postpartum Syndrome

Hello, this is Baeknokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Are you taking good care of your health in this cold winter? In cold and dry weather like these days, skin tends to easily dry out and itching often worsens. Especially for those suffering from atopic dermatitis, extra caution is needed. Today, let's learn about how to manage atopic dermatitis in winter. What is Atopic Dermatitis? Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease caused by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. It usually begins in infancy and early childhood, repeatedly improving or worsening as one grows, and sometimes continues into adulthood. Key symptoms include severe itching, dry skin, eczema, and skin scaling, characterized by a pattern of repeated worsening and improvement. In severe cases, it can cause skin infections or sleep disturbances, leading to significant discomfort in daily life. Winter Atopic Dermatitis Management Methods Winter is a particularly challenging season for atopic dermatitis patients because dry weather and cold winds can easily weaken the skin barrier. Here are some tips for managing atopic dermatitis in winter. 1. Thoroughly Manage Moisturizing During winter, skin dryness intensifies, so it's important to keep the skin moisturized by consistently using moisturizers. It is best to apply moisturizer within 3 minutes after showering, and reapply it multiple times throughout the day. 2. Maintain Indoor Humidity It is advisable to maintain indoor humidity at 50-60% by using a humidifier or hanging wet towels. A dry environment can worsen atopic dermatitis. 3. Shower with Lukewarm Water Hot water can make the skin even drier, so it's best to take short showers with lukewarm water. After showering, gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel and apply moisturizer. 4. Wear Cotton Clothing It's best to reduce skin irritation by wearing soft, breathable clothes made of cotton or similar materials. Wool or synthetic fibers can irritate the skin and cause itching, so it's best to avoid them. 5. Manage Stress Stress is one of the main causes that can worsen atopic dermatitis. It is important to manage stress through sufficient rest, sleep, and regular exercise. At Baeknokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we focus on improving one's constitution and strengthening immunity for the fundamental treatment of atopic dermatitis. We help alleviate skin symptoms, prevent recurrence, and restore healthy skin through treatments such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, and pharmacopuncture. If you are suffering from atopic dermatitis in winter, don't hesitate to visit Baeknokdam Korean Medicine Clinic for a professional consultation. We are always committed to doing our best for the healthy lives of our patients.

What Causes Headaches Accompanied by Hyperacusis? | Migraine

안녕하세요. 백록담 한의원 입니다. Mental illnesses are sometimes referred to as a "cold of the mind," but it's difficult to consider them as mere fleeting symptoms that pass like a common cold. In particular, mental illnesses such as schizophrenia can worsen over time and become more challenging to treat, making early diagnosis and treatment extremely important. While many patients suffer from mental illnesses, social prejudice and stigma often lead them to miss timely treatment or feel compelled to hide their condition. Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic aims to help all those suffering from mental illness, despite these difficulties, find the courage to seek treatment and reclaim a healthy life. Today, we will delve into schizophrenia, one of these mental illnesses. What is schizophrenia, and what symptoms does it present? Schizophrenia is one of the most prominent mental illnesses caused by brain dysfunction. It was formerly known as *Jeongsinbunyeoljeung* (정신분열증), but its name was changed to schizophrenia in 2011 to improve the negative perception of the illness. Patients with schizophrenia experience a diminished ability to distinguish between reality and unreality, exhibiting abnormalities in overall mental functions such as thought, emotion, and behavior, leading to significant difficulties in daily life. Key symptoms include: 1. Delusions These are firmly held, abnormal and unrealistic beliefs about oneself or the surrounding world. For example, symptoms may include believing someone is trying to harm them or that they possess special abilities. 2. Hallucinations These are sensory experiences of seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not actually present. The most common form is auditory hallucinations, where individuals often hear sounds or voices that others cannot. 3. Disorganized Thought and Speech The flow of thought is irregular and confused, making logical conversation difficult. Symptoms include rambling or repeating meaningless words. 4. Disorganized Behavior This includes repetitive actions without purpose, inappropriate emotional expressions, and neglect of hygiene, among other abnormal behaviors. 5. Negative Symptoms These are symptoms where normal mental functions are diminished, presenting as apathy, avolition (lack of motivation), social withdrawal, anhedonia (loss of pleasure), and reduced emotional expression. These symptoms can vary from patient to patient and may also change over time. If you suspect symptoms of schizophrenia, please do not hesitate to visit Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. In our next post, we will explore the causes and treatment methods of schizophrenia in more detail.

Fever and Fatigue, with a Hot Head? | Incheon Male Menopause Symptoms

Hello. This is Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, we will discuss heartburn, gastric spasms, and stomach pain. Those who frequently experience high stress or irregular meals are prone to gastrointestinal disorders. Modern people, in particular, often strain their stomach and intestines with frequent late-night work, company dinners, and alcohol consumption. In such cases, they experience symptoms like heartburn, gastric spasms, and stomach pain. Heartburn refers to a burning or searing pain in the epigastric region. It primarily occurs when there is excessive gastric acid secretion or when stomach acid refluxes into the esophagus. Gastric spasms are severe pains caused by the sudden contraction of stomach muscles. They are characterized by a gripping or twisting pain in the abdomen, and can be caused by stress, overeating, or consuming cold foods. Stomach pain is a general term encompassing overall discomfort or pain felt in the stomach area. It can be caused by various factors and manifests in diverse ways, from a heavy and bloated feeling to sharp, piercing pain. At Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, to treat these gastrointestinal disorders, we implement a combination of treatments tailored to the patient's constitution and symptoms, including herbal medicine prescriptions, acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping therapy. Herbal medicine prescriptions strengthen gastrointestinal function, alleviate inflammation, and regulate digestive fluid secretion, thereby aiding in fundamental treatment. Acupuncture stimulates gastrointestinal-related acupoints, facilitating smooth circulation of Qi and blood, and reducing pain. Moxibustion uses warm energy to tonify the stomach and eliminate 'cold accumulation' (냉적), thereby improving digestive function. Cupping therapy promotes blood circulation around the stomach and eliminates waste products, helping to alleviate pain. If you are suffering from heartburn, gastric spasms, or stomach pain, please do not hesitate to visit Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic for a consultation. We will do our best for your healthy stomach and intestines. Thank you.

How to Beat Insomnia | Incheon Insomnia

안녕하세요. 백록담한의원입니다. Today, we'd like to learn about Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). IBS is a chronic condition characterized by recurring symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation, even in the absence of any specific disease in the large intestine. It is a common condition, affecting approximately 7-15% of the Korean population. The causes of IBS are diverse. Mainly, factors such as stress, irregular meals, excessive alcohol consumption, and overwork are contributing causes, and frequent binge eating, overeating, and late-night meals, which harm gut health, can also worsen IBS symptoms. IBS Symptoms IBS symptoms can largely be divided into four categories. 1. Abdominal Pain and Bloating Irregular bowel movements can lead to abdominal pain and bloating. The pain typically occurs in the lower abdomen and tends to subside after a bowel movement. 2. Diarrhea or Constipation This is one of the most common symptoms of IBS. Diarrhea and constipation may alternate, or only one symptom may persist. 3. Incomplete Evacuation You may feel as if your bowels haven't been completely emptied, even after a bowel movement. This can lead to frequent trips to the restroom or anxiety about bowel movements. 4. Indigestion and Gas You may experience a bloated feeling and gas. This can be caused by an imbalance in gut microbiota. IBS Treatment IBS symptoms can be alleviated, and gut health can be restored through lifestyle improvements and Korean medicine treatment. 1. Lifestyle Improvements Stress management, regular meals, sufficient sleep, and regular exercise are important. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid foods that irritate the intestines, such as caffeine, alcohol, greasy foods, and spicy foods. 2. Korean Medicine Treatment Korean medicine treatment applies various therapeutic methods, such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping, tailored to an individual's constitution and symptoms. By strengthening bowel function, reducing inflammation, and boosting immunity, it helps fundamentally improve IBS symptoms. If you are suffering from IBS, do not neglect it; please visit Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic for a consultation. Through personalized treatment tailored to your symptoms and constitution, you can regain a healthy gut and improve your quality of life. Thank you.

Why am I always tired, have indigestion, and a low-grade fever?

Hello. This is Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, we will learn about the effects of Korean medicine treatment on chest pain. Have you ever experienced a sudden, sinking feeling in your heart due to chest pain? Chest pain is a common symptom that anyone can experience, but its causes and patterns are diverse. From simple muscle pain to serious cardiovascular diseases, chest pain can be an important signal our body sends us. In Korean medicine, chest pain is diagnosed and treated under the category of 'Hyungbi (흉비).' Hyungbi is a condition characterized by pain, tightness, and shortness of breath resulting from poor circulation of Qi and blood in the chest area. Various factors such as stress, poor dietary habits, lack of exercise, and overwork can hinder the circulation of Qi and blood, leading to Hyungbi. Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic provides Korean medicine treatments that identify and resolve the root causes of chest pain. We utilize various Korean medicine therapies such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping, tailored to each individual's constitution and symptoms, to improve Qi and blood circulation and alleviate pain. In particular, these treatments help relax tension in the chest area, suppress inflammation, and strengthen heart function. Through Korean medicine treatment, not only is chest pain improved, but overall health also gets promoted. Various symptoms accompanying chest pain, such as insomnia, indigestion, and chronic fatigue, can also improve together. Furthermore, we help you regain a healthy life by combining integrated treatments like lifestyle habit improvement and stress management to prevent recurrence. If you are suffering from chest pain, experience a precise diagnosis and personalized Korean medicine treatment at Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. We will do our best to resolve your chest pain and help you regain a comfortable daily life.
