Q. Why do I feel dizzy and have a headache only when I have indigestion (Phlegm Dizziness, Damhun)?

A.

It is because waste products (known as *dam-eum*, or pathological fluid accumulation) in the digestive system have blocked the flow of vital energy (qi) to the head. This condition is referred to as *dam-hun* (phlegm-induced dizziness). Characteristic symptoms include a feeling of heaviness in the body when it rains, being prone to motion sickness, and experiencing nausea. Treating the digestive system (through *geodam*, or resolving phlegm) is essential for the dizziness to subside.

📝 Detailed Answer

MRI 찍어도 안 나옵니다. 원인이 위장에 있으니까요.

  • 반하백출천마탕: 담음을 없애고 머리를 맑게 하는 어지럼증 명약입니다.
  • 식습관: 과식, 야식, 기름진 음식이 담음을 만듭니다. 소식하세요.
💡 생강차

생강은 위장을 데워 담음을 삭히는 효과가 있어, 소화기성 어지럼증에 아주 좋습니다.
