My chest feels tight and I keep sighing (Hwabyung).

This is "Hwabyung," a unique Korean condition characterized by the manifestation of long-suppressed emotions that have coalesced. It is prone to erupt during menopause, and treatment is required to extinguish the "heat in the chest" (Simhwa).

참는 것이 능사가 아닙니다. 몸이 먼저 아픕니다.

  • 전중혈: 가슴 정중앙을 눌렀을 때 악 소리 나게 아프다면 화병입니다.
  • 증상: 목에 이물감(매핵기), 불면, 소화 불량, 가슴 두근거림
  • 치료: 울체된 기운을 풀어주는 침과 약으로 꽉 막힌 가슴을 시원하게 뚫어줍니다.
