I Get Splitting Headaches and Vomit Before Every Period | Premenstrual Headaches and Vomiting
Hello. This is <b>Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic</b>. Today, we'd like to discuss <b>facial palsy</b>. <br><br> Facial palsy refers to a condition caused by <a href="link1">various factors</a>, where one side of the face experiences paralysis, the mouth turns to one side, the eye doesn't close properly, and other facial abnormalities occur. <br><br> <img src="image1.jpg" alt="구안와사란?" title="구안와사란?"> <br><br> Facial palsy is also commonly known as <b><u>peripheral facial palsy</u></b>, with Bell's palsy generally being the most common type. <br><br> Key symptoms include: <ul> <li>Weakness or paralysis of muscles on one side of the face</li> <li>Difficulty closing the eye (lagophthalmos)</li> <li>Drooping of the corner of the mouth on one side and drooling</li> <li>Reduced sense of taste</li> <li>Hyperacusis (tinnitus)</li> <li>Facial pain or discomfort</li> </ul> and so on. <br><br> <img src="image2.jpg" alt="구안와사 증상" title="구안와사 증상"> <br><br> While the exact cause of facial palsy is often unknown, viral infections (such as herpes virus), weakened immunity, stress, overwork, and exposure to cold drafts are considered major contributing factors. <br><br> In Korean medicine, facial palsy is regarded as a type of <b><u>'Wind Syndrome (風症)'</u></b> and is explained as occurring when Wind-evil (風邪) invades the meridians, thereby disrupting the circulation of Qi and Blood. <br><br> Therefore, Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic uses the following methods for <b>facial palsy treatment</b>. <br><br> <img src="image3.jpg" alt="백록담한의원 구안와사 치료" title="백록담한의원 구안와사 치료"> <br><br> <ul> <li><b>Acupuncture</b>: It facilitates the smooth flow of Qi and Blood in the meridians and aids in the recovery of paralyzed muscles.</li> <li><b>Herbal Medicine</b>: It helps strengthen immunity, eliminate inflammation, and restore nerve function.</li> <li><b>Pharmacopuncture</b>: This therapy involves injecting refined herbal extracts directly into acupoints and is effective for alleviating inflammation and promoting nerve regeneration.</li> <li><b>Cupping Therapy</b>: It promotes blood circulation, relieves muscle tension, and aids in the recovery of facial muscles.</li> <li><b>Physiotherapy</b>: Through facial muscle exercises, massage, etc., it helps restore the function of paralyzed muscles and prevent recurrence.</li> </ul> <br><br> For facial palsy, <b><u>early treatment is crucial</u></b>, as neglecting it can lead to lasting sequelae. Therefore, if symptoms appear, it is advisable to visit <a href="link2">a nearby Korean medicine clinic</a> for examination. <br><br> At Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we provide <b><u>customized treatment</u></b> tailored to each patient's constitution and symptoms, doing our best for quick recovery and prevention of recurrence. <br><br> If you are experiencing discomfort due to facial palsy, please do not hesitate to contact <b>Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic</b>. <br><br> Thank you.

Hello. This is Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. <br /> <br /> Today's post from Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic is about scoliosis. <br /> <br /> <a href="https://blog.naver.com/dlckdghk/222853123849" target="_blank" class="se-link" data-linktype="post" data-oglink="https://blog.naver.com/dlckdghk/222853123849" rel="nofollow">If you have scoliosis, pay attention to this article~</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://blog.naver.com/dlckdghk/222867809623" target="_blank" class="se-link" data-linktype="post" data-oglink="https://blog.naver.com/dlckdghk/222867809623" rel="nofollow">Scoliosis in the growth period: Correct it before it worsens</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://blog.naver.com/dlckdghk/222867809623" target="_blank" class="se-link" data-linktype="post" data-oglink="https://blog.naver.com/dlckdghk/222867809623" rel="nofollow">Reasons why scoliosis should be corrected before adulthood</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://blog.naver.com/dlckdghk/222867809623" target="_blank" class="se-link" data-linktype="post" data-oglink="https://blog.naver.com/dlckdghk/222867809623" rel="nofollow">Scoliosis in the growth period: Don't miss it</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://blog.naver.com/dlckdghk/222867809623" target="_blank" class="se-link" data-linktype="post" data-oglink="https://blog.naver.com/dlckdghk/222867809623" rel="nofollow">Misconceptions about the diagnosis and treatment of scoliosis in the growth period</a> <br /> <br /> <a href="https://blog.naver.com/dlckdghk/222867809623" target="_blank" class="se-link" data-linktype="post" data-oglink="https://blog.naver.com/dlckdghk/222867809623" rel="nofollow">If scoliosis is suspected during the growth period?</a> <br /> <br /> Today, I will tell you about <b>scoliosis</b>. <br /> <br /> Scoliosis is often discovered during the <b>growth period</b>. <br /> <br /> If scoliosis occurs during the growth period, it requires special attention because it affects skeletal growth. <br /> <br /> Since it can continue to worsen until the growth plates close, early correction is important. <br /> <br /> During childhood and adolescence, <b>scoliosis, affecting areas like the thoracic and lumbar spine, can worsen.</b> <br /> <br /> This is because scoliosis continues to worsen during the active skeletal growth phase of the growth period. <br /> <br /> Especially, <b>idiopathic scoliosis</b> progresses rapidly during the growth period. <br /> <br /> Therefore, if scoliosis is suspected, do not miss the growth period and seek scoliosis correction treatment. <br /> <br /> Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic provides scoliosis correction treatment.
