Q. I wake up with stomach pain and diarrhea in the early morning (Ogyeongseol).

A.

In traditional Korean medicine, 'Ogyeongseol' (also known as 'dawn diarrhea') is a type of geriatric or debilitating diarrhea that occurs due to a deficiency of Kidney Yang energy, making the individual unable to withstand the cold morning air.

닭이 울 때쯤(새벽 4~5시) 배가 살살 아파서 화장실로 달려가시나요?

이는 아랫배가 차가워서(하복냉증) 생기는 병입니다. 밤새 체온이 떨어지면서 장 기능도 멈춰버리는 것이죠. 배를 따뜻하게 덥혀주는 치료가 꼭 필요합니다.
