Precautions When Treating Menstrual Pain

Hello, I am Choi Yeon-seung, the chief physician of Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. I am a Doctor of Korean Medicine who graduated from Kyung Hee University College of Korean Medicine, and I primarily treat "post-traffic accident sequelae, rhinitis, weight loss, and pain." In treating post-traffic accident sequelae, our treatment primarily focuses on resolving 'eohyeol' (stagnant blood), relaxing tense muscles, and aligning the spine, including the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae. For chronic rhinitis, our treatment aims to strengthen lung function, improve the circulation of Qi and blood, and boost immunity. For weight loss, after precisely analyzing body composition through an InBody test to measure obesity levels, we aim to reduce weight by using Korean herbal medicine and acupuncture treatment to control appetite and improve metabolism. For acute and chronic pain, we actively utilize Korean medicine treatments such as bee venom acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, and Korean herbal medicine to alleviate pain and prevent recurrence. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us anytime. Thank you.

Key Aspects of Insomnia Treatment

Hello, I am Choi Yeon-seung, Chief Physician of Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. In my clinical practice over the past few years, I have met countless patients suffering from atopic dermatitis. Infantile and pediatric atopic dermatitis, in particular, goes beyond a simple skin condition, significantly reducing the quality of life and potentially negatively impacting a child's growth and development. Atopic dermatitis is not just a simple skin rash. Complex symptoms such as itching, dryness, and inflammation persist, often causing severe itching at night that leads to sleep disturbances. This frequently results in a vicious cycle where both children and parents become exhausted. What is the most important aspect of treating atopic dermatitis? I believe it is 'a systematic approach and personalized treatment.' Atopic dermatitis manifests in a wide variety of ways depending on an individual's constitution, lifestyle, and the severity of symptoms. Therefore, merely suppressing the visible symptoms makes a fundamental resolution difficult. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we identify the root causes of atopic dermatitis and establish the most suitable treatment plan for each individual. Beyond simply prescribing steroid ointments or moisturizers, we focus on strengthening the child's immunity and restoring skin barrier function, based on the long-standing wisdom of Korean medicine. Through various Korean medicine treatments such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, and topical remedies, we will do our utmost to help our children's atopic dermatitis improve and regain healthy skin. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic supports the healthy growth of our children.

Precautions for Atopy Treatment

안녕하세요 백록담한의원 대표원장 최연승입니다. 환자분들께서 진료를 받으시면서 가장 많이 질문해주시는 것들 중 하나가 바로 "원장님 침 맞는 동안 움직이면 안되나요?" 입니다. 오늘은 침 치료를 받으실 때 왜 움직이면 안되는지에 대해 자세히 알려드리겠습니다. Reasons Not to Move During Acupuncture Treatment Acupuncture is a traditional Korean medicine treatment method that involves inserting fine needles into specific acupuncture points on the body to regulate qi and blood circulation and alleviate pain. Accurate insertion of needles into the correct acupuncture points is crucial, and moving while the needles are inserted can lead to the following issues: 1. Risk of Needles Bending or Breaking Acupuncture needles are very thin and fine, so if you move your body while they are inserted, the needles can bend or, in severe cases, break. If a needle breaks, a fragment remaining under the skin can become a serious problem. 2. Increased Risk of Blood Vessel or Nerve Damage Needles are inserted deep into acupuncture points, where blood vessels or nerves may be nearby. Moving your body during acupuncture can cause the needle tip to shift in an unexpected direction, increasing the risk of damaging blood vessels or nerves. This can lead to side effects such as pain, bleeding, or paralysis. 3. Reduced Treatment Efficacy The core of acupuncture treatment is to regulate the flow of qi and blood through needles accurately inserted into specific acupuncture points. Moving your body can alter the needle's position or the intensity of stimulation, which may reduce treatment efficacy. 4. Increased Pain Moving while the needles are inserted can irritate the skin or muscles, causing unnecessary pain. This can increase aversion to acupuncture treatment and make patients reluctant to receive future treatments. What if you feel discomfort during acupuncture treatment? If you feel discomfort or pain during acupuncture treatment, absolutely do not move or attempt to remove the needles yourself. Please be sure to inform the medical staff. Our medical team will take swift and safe action. For Safe and Effective Acupuncture Treatment Acupuncture treatment yields the best results when administered with the correct method and posture. During acupuncture, please refrain from moving as much as possible, and if you experience any discomfort, please inform the medical staff at any time. Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic is committed to ensuring the safety and effective treatment of our patients. Thank you.

Looking for a Korean medicine clinic for eczema treatment?

Hello, I am Choi Yeon-seung, Chief Physician of Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. When treating patients, I occasionally receive a common question: "Doctor, I'm currently taking Korean herbal medicine, is that alright?" When asked this, I usually respond with a question of my own: "Could you tell me what health functional foods you are currently taking, if any?" Indeed, many individuals often take Korean herbal medicine and health functional foods concurrently. However, taking Korean herbal medicine and health functional foods together is not always safe. This is because different ingredients can cause unexpected interactions within the body, or some health functional foods may have an adverse effect on specific conditions. <h3>Can I Take Korean Herbal Medicine and Health Functional Foods Concurrently?</h3> To state the conclusion first, it is generally best to avoid it in principle. Traditional Korean medicine places great importance on the balance of the human body. To treat diseases and promote health, Korean herbal medicine is prescribed, tailored to an individual's constitution and symptoms. These Korean herbal medicines typically involve various medicinal herbs working synergistically to aid our body's natural healing power. On the other hand, health functional foods aim to promote health by supplementing specific nutrients or functional ingredients. However, unlike Korean herbal medicine, their effectiveness or safety has not been explicitly recognized for 'therapeutic purposes' by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). The potential problems that can arise when taken concurrently are as follows: <h4>1. Interactions</h4> Specific ingredients in medicinal herbs and health functional foods may interact with each other, causing side effects, reducing the efficacy of Korean herbal medicine, or increasing the side effects of health functional foods. For example, if you are taking health functional foods that contain ingredients inhibiting blood coagulation, and concurrently taking Korean herbal medicine that resolves blood stasis and promotes blood circulation, the risk of unexpected bleeding may increase. <h4>2. Excessive Intake of Specific Ingredients</h4> Some medicinal herbs and health functional foods may contain overlapping specific ingredients. For example, if you are taking health functional foods rich in Vitamin C and concurrently taking Korean herbal medicine that also contains Vitamin C, side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort may occur due to excessive Vitamin C intake. <h4>3. Reduced Efficacy</h4> Korean herbal medicine and health functional foods may interfere with each other's absorption, or affect the manifestation of their effects, potentially preventing you from achieving the expected therapeutic outcomes. <h4>4. Challenges in Consultation and Treatment</h4> A Korean medicine doctor may encounter difficulties in accurately assessing a patient's condition and formulating a treatment plan. This is because there might be insufficient information about the ingredients and actions of the health functional foods a patient is taking, and it can be challenging to consider these in terms of their interactions with Korean herbal medicine.

Precautions During Treatment for Indigestion and Damjeok Disease

Hello, I'm Choi Yeon-seung, the Chief Director of Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic specializes in the treatment of infertility, women's health conditions, menopausal symptoms, and thyroid disorders. When you're deliberating which clinic to visit, or when you haven't received a clear answer anywhere else, we hope you'll think of Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. We will do our utmost for Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic to be the answer you're looking for. So, in today's post, I'd like to share the latest insights into Korean medicine infertility treatment. Specifically: Infertility is a ‘disease.’ Hmm, upon hearing this, you might be thinking, ‘Why are they making such a big deal out of something so obvious?’ However, the truth is, many people tend not to view infertility as a disease, but rather believe it will resolve with time or consider it a problem stemming from a mere lack of ‘effort’ on the part of the couple. What's more, it's not uncommon for even medical institutions to explain infertility as something natural or a problem arising from a lack of effort. However, according to the latest medical insights, infertility is a disease. It is a condition with clear diagnostic criteria and identifiable causes, and it can be overcome through appropriate treatment. Therefore, if you are experiencing infertility, you must receive appropriate treatment. Based on the understanding that infertility is a disease, Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic operates a Korean medicine infertility treatment program for couples experiencing infertility. The program's goal is to identify the causes of infertility, provide customized treatment based on those causes, and ultimately assist in achieving a healthy pregnancy. Specifically, we support couples experiencing infertility in achieving a healthy pregnancy through Korean herbal medicine that strengthens uterine and ovarian function, normalizes ovulation, and enhances implantation rates, combined with acupuncture and moxibustion therapy. We hope you can prepare for a healthy pregnancy and welcome your new family with Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Thank you.

When Panic Disorder Treatment Is Needed

Hello, I am Choi Yeon-seung, the Chief Director of Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, I'd like to talk about **epilepsy**, a condition I primarily treat. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder caused by temporary abnormal excitation of brain nerve cells, and is not diagnosed as epilepsy if seizures occur non-recurrently. It is diagnosed as epilepsy when recurrent seizures occur at least twice without an identifiable cause. It is important to have epilepsy accurately diagnosed through a consultation with a neurologist. Today, I will provide information about epilepsy, focusing on questions I frequently encounter during my consultations. At Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, our treatment aims to help prevent recurrence and improve the quality of life for epilepsy patients. <h1>What Are the Causes of Epilepsy?</h1> The causes of epilepsy are highly diverse. They can include genetic factors, brain developmental abnormalities, stroke, brain trauma, encephalitis, brain tumors, or hypoxic brain damage. However, in approximately 60% of patients, no specific cause can be found, and it is diagnosed as **idiopathic epilepsy**. In such cases, it is necessary to treat epilepsy by focusing on restoring brain function and boosting immunity. <h1>How Is Epilepsy Approached in Korean Medicine?</h1> In Korean medicine, epilepsy is understood through concepts such as 'Ganfeng (Liver Wind)' or 'Ganyang Sanghang (Ascendant Liver Yang)'. Ganfeng refers to an agitated state of brain nerves, while Ganyang Sanghang signifies reduced brain function or a weakened immune state. At Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we identify these Korean medicine causes of epilepsy and proceed with personalized custom treatment. Key treatment methods include **herbal medicine prescriptions**, **acupuncture**, **pharmacopuncture**, and **moxibustion**. Through these treatments, we aim for effects such as brain function recovery, immune system enhancement, and stress reduction. <h1>How Long Does Epilepsy Treatment Take?</h1> The duration of epilepsy treatment varies depending on the patient's condition, the type of epilepsy, and their response to treatment. Generally, a treatment period of approximately one to two years is required, and consistent treatment and management can prevent seizure recurrence and alleviate symptoms. Although epilepsy is considered a difficult-to-treat condition, it can be significantly improved through early diagnosis and proactive treatment. At Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we are committed to doing our best to help epilepsy patients achieve a swift recovery and regain a healthy life. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic at any time. <a href="https://baekrokdam.com/" target="_blank">Go to Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic</a>
