Overcoming Allergies with Oriental Medicine

Hello, I am Jang Hyuk, a consulting doctor from DocTalk-Naver Knowledge iN. As a healthcare professional, I understand the significant impact allergies can have on daily life.

Allergies can manifest in various ways, including skin rashes, difficulty breathing, sneezing, and runny nose. While Western medicine often relies on antihistamines or steroids to alleviate symptoms, Oriental medicine takes a more holistic approach.

In Oriental medicine, allergies are seen as symptoms of constitutional imbalance and weakened immunity. Our goal is to address the root cause of allergies by improving constitution and strengthening immunity.

Oriental Medicine Allergy Treatment Methods

Our treatment approach is tailored to each individual’s unique symptoms and constitution. This may include:

• Customized herbal medicine, taken 1-2 times a day
• Pills, taken 1-1/2 times a day, as needed
• Regular hospital visits (1-2 times a week) for acupuncture and moxibustion to boost immunity
• Moxibustion and calming packs, combined as needed to address specific symptoms

Our Oriental medical treatments aim to activate the body’s overall immune system and change the body’s constitution to respond to allergens naturally.

Lifestyle Corrections for Allergy Relief

In addition to medical treatment, we also provide guidance on lifestyle corrections to help manage allergies. This may include:

• Avoiding certain foods that trigger allergic reactions
• Managing indoor environment to reduce allergen exposure
• Stress management techniques to minimize allergy symptoms

For an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan, we recommend visiting our hospital for a consultation.
