Feeling like food is stuck in the throat (Globus sensation)

This condition manifests due to stress causing qi stagnation and impaired gastrointestinal function, and can be rapidly improved with treatment that regulates the flow of qi.

한의학에서 매핵기(梅核氣)라 부르는 증상입니다. 매실 씨앗이 목에 걸린 것처럼 답답하지만, 실제로는 아무것도 없는 상태입니다.

  • 스트레스로 기운이 뭉치는 '기체(氣滯)'가 주원인입니다.
  • 위산 역류로 인한 식도 점막 자극이 동반되기도 합니다.
🌿 치료법

목의 물리적 이물질을 제거하는 것이 아니라, 가슴에 맺힌 울화를 풀고 순환을 돕는 '이기제(理氣劑)' 처방이 효과적입니다.
