Questions Tic Disorder Patients Have

Greetings, I am Choi Yeon-seung, the Chief Director of Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, I've prepared a post on the topic of Korean medicinal herbs good for the skin. The skin acts as the outermost part of our body, protecting its interior and guarding us from harmful external substances. It also performs the important function of maintaining moisture to keep the skin hydrated. Skin care can be said to be an essential element for a healthy life, going beyond mere cosmetic purposes. However, in modern society, many people experience skin troubles due to various environmental factors. Can skin troubles be resolved with Korean herbal medicine? To get straight to the conclusion, yes, they can! Korean herbal medicine goes beyond simply alleviating the symptoms of skin diseases; it helps restore healthy skin by improving the body's fundamental imbalances. Today, let's take some time to learn in detail about these herbal medicines good for skin health.

What Psoriasis Patients Are Curious About

안녕하세요, 백록담한의원 대표원장 최연승입니다. While operating my Korean medicine clinic, I meet many patients suffering from illnesses. They often ask me countless questions, such as what the cause of their illness is, how they can get better, and what their future treatment plans are. Of course, it is the role of a Korean medicine clinic to treat illnesses through consultations and to alleviate patients' concerns. However, in the process of communicating with patients, I realized that the barrier to medical knowledge is too high. While receiving treatment is important, accurately understanding one's own illness is equally crucial. Only by accurately understanding their illness can they make the wise decisions necessary to maintain their own health. Therefore, I set the goal of 'lowering the barrier to medical knowledge'. The Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic blog is one of my efforts to achieve this goal. Here, Korean medical information and various health stories will be presented in an easy and enjoyable way. I hope that all who read this will easily access medical knowledge and that it helps them maintain their own health. Thank you. Sincerely, Choi Yeon-seung

Things GERD Patients Are Curious About

Hello, this is Choi Yeon-seung, the head director of Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, I'd like to talk about preventing emerging infectious diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic, which began last year, introduced us to new ways of life we had never experienced before. Adhering to daily preventive measures such as social distancing, mask-wearing, and handwashing became essential, and international travel became unimaginable. However, even if the pandemic ends, the threat of emerging infectious diseases will not disappear. On the contrary, the likelihood of new infectious diseases emerging is increasing due to factors like climate change and globalization. So, what should we do to protect ourselves from emerging infectious diseases? I'd like to introduce a few methods. 1. Maintain Strict Personal Hygiene This is the most basic yet most important method. Make it a habit to wash your hands with soap for at least 30 seconds, observe cough etiquette (cover your cough with your sleeve), and wear a mask (when necessary). 2. Strengthen Your Immunity A healthy body enhances resistance to viruses and bacteria. Regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and a balanced diet are essential for strengthening immunity. Korean medicine, in particular, offers various methods to boost immunity by balancing the 'five viscera and six bowels' (Ojang Yukbu) and promoting smooth circulation of 'Qi and blood' (Gi-hyeol). 3. Get Vaccinated You should get all available vaccines, such as the flu shot. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect our bodies from infectious diseases. 4. Rest When You're Sick If you experience any unusual symptoms, you should immediately rest and visit a hospital for medical attention. Continuing activities while sick not only jeopardizes your own health but also increases the risk of spreading infectious diseases to those around you. 5. Pay Attention to Information and Respond Appropriately Stay informed with accurate information provided by the government and healthcare institutions, and be careful not to be misled by false information or fake news. Furthermore, in the event of an infectious disease outbreak, it is crucial to follow expert instructions and respond correctly. Emerging infectious diseases can pose a continuous threat to our society. However, through individual efforts and collective societal cooperation, we can overcome them. Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic supports your healthy life and is committed to providing information for preventing emerging infectious diseases and offering Korean medicine treatments. Thank you.

Questions Patients Have About ADHD Treatment

Hello, this is Choi Yeon-seung, the chief director of Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic is where I, a specialist in Korean neuropsychiatry, provide medical care for the health of both mind and body. Recently, more and more people are struggling with autonomic nervous system issues caused by burnout and hyperarousal. The fast pace and constant stress of modern society place a significant burden on our minds and bodies, leading to an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system and causing various physical and mental symptoms. The autonomic nervous system is a crucial system that regulates our body's vital functions. It operates automatically, independent of our will, controlling heart rate, respiration, digestion, sleep, and more. In stressful situations, it activates the sympathetic nervous system, tensing the body, and during rest, it activates the parasympathetic nervous system, relaxing the body. However, chronic stress and overwork disrupt this balance, leading to excessive activation of the sympathetic nervous system and causing burnout and hyperarousal. Burnout and hyperarousal are not merely simple fatigue. They are phenomena that arise from a prolonged state of high tension in both mind and body, and can lead to various symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, indigestion, and headaches. If these conditions persist, not only can the quality of daily life deteriorate, but they can also lead to serious long-term health problems. At Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, we deeply understand these issues of burnout and hyperarousal, and provide personalized treatment to help our patients recover. As a specialist in Korean neuropsychiatry, I focus on restoring the balance of the autonomic nervous system and strengthening the resilience of mind and body by utilizing various Korean medicine treatments such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, and counseling therapy, tailored to each patient's constitution and symptoms. My philosophy of care goes beyond merely alleviating symptoms; it is to help patients sustain a healthy life through their own strength. To achieve this, I communicate deeply with patients and also provide advice for improving lifestyle habits. Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic prioritizes the health of our patients' minds and bodies, and we always promise warm and professional care. If you are struggling with burnout and hyperarousal, please do not hesitate to visit Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. We will be a reliable partner for your healthy life. Thank you.

We provide an accurate diagnosis and a meticulous prescription, tailored to each patient's constitution and symptoms.

Precautions During Narcolepsy Treatment

Hello, I am Choi Yeon-seung, Chief Director of Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, I would like to talk about 'Herbal Medicine Diet,' which is my specialty. In Korean medicine, dieting goes beyond simply losing weight; it is a process of restoring our body's balance and function. Specifically, we focus on healthy weight loss by activating metabolic functions and expelling waste products. Based on this Korean medicine perspective, Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic thoroughly diagnoses each patient's constitution and health condition and provides customized herbal medicine diet programs. Our clinic's herbal medicine diet has the following features. 1. Personalized Prescription We comprehensively consider the patient's constitution, current health status, lifestyle, and other factors to provide the most effective herbal medicine prescription. This does not merely aim for appetite suppression or body fat reduction, but rather improves overall bodily functions and promotes healthy weight loss. 2. Waste Product Elimination and Metabolic Activation It effectively expels waste products accumulated in the body, activates diminished metabolic functions, and helps body fat burn efficiently. This minimizes the yo-yo effect and enables sustainable weight management. 3. Appetite Control and Enhanced Satiety It controls appetite in a healthy way, enhances satiety, and prevents overeating. This reduces the difficulty of diet control and makes the weight loss process more comfortable. 4. Minimized Side Effects and Safe Weight Loss All herbal medicine prescriptions are prepared using only standardized herbal ingredients that have received GMP certification from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Furthermore, by using only prescriptions whose safety and efficacy have been verified through extensive clinical experience, we minimize side effects and aim for healthy weight loss. Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic promises to do its best for our patients' healthy and successful weight loss. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us anytime. Thank you.

What Patients with Dizziness and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) Want to Know

안녕하세요 백록담한의원 대표원장 최연승입니다. 갑작스러운 어지럼증과 두통으로 고생하고 계신가요? 어지럼증의 원인은 다양합니다. 단순한 빈혈이거나 기립성 저혈압과 같은 혈관 문제일 수도 있고, 이석증과 같은 귀의 문제, 혹은 뇌졸중과 같은 심각한 뇌 문제일 수도 있습니다. 이 외에도 신경정신과적인 문제, 약물의 부작용, 그리고 척추 질환과 같은 다양한 원인들이 있습니다. 이렇게 다양한 원인들 때문에 어지럼증이 발생하면, 대부분의 경우 환자분들은 한 가지 이상의 증상을 함께 호소하게 됩니다. 예를 들어, 두통, 이명, 울렁거림, 구토, 피로감, 소화불량, 불안감, 우울감, 불면증 등 여러가지 증상이 동시에 나타날 수 있습니다. 특히 어지럼증과 두통이 함께 나타날 때는 환자분들의 고통이 더욱 커지게 됩니다. 그래서 오늘은 어지럼증과 두통이 함께 나타나는 경우에 대해 자세히 알아보겠습니다. 어지럼증과 두통이 동시에 발생하는 원인은 정말 다양합니다. 가장 흔하게는 편두통으로 인해 발생하며, 이 외에도 경추성 어지럼증, 메니에르병, 뇌종양, 뇌경색, 뇌출혈, 뇌수막염과 같은 다양한 질환들이 어지럼증과 두통을 유발할 수 있습니다. 한의학에서는 어지럼증과 두통을 두훈(頭暈)과 두통(頭痛)이라고 부르며, 여러가지 원인에 따라 세분화하여 치료합니다. 예를 들어, 스트레스와 과로로 인한 어지럼증과 두통은 간열(肝熱)을 다스려야 하고, 만성적인 피로와 허약 체질로 인한 어지럼증과 두통은 기혈 보충을 통해 치료해야 합니다. 또한, 어혈(瘀血)로 인한 어지럼증과 두통은 어혈을 제거하는 치료를 해야 합니다. 이렇게 한의학에서는 어지럼증과 두통의 원인을 파악하고 그에 맞는 맞춤 치료를 통해 증상을 개선하고 재발을 방지합니다. 저희 백록담한의원에서는 어지럼증과 두통으로 고통받는 환자분들을 위해 정확한 진단과 체계적인 치료를 제공하고 있습니다. 환자분들의 증상과 체질을 고려하여 개인 맞춤형 한약 처방과 침 치료, 약침 치료, 뜸 치료, 부항 치료 등 다양한 한방 치료를 통해 어지럼증과 두통을 효과적으로 치료하고 있습니다. 만약 어지럼증과 두통으로 인해 일상생활에 어려움을 겪고 계신다면, 주저하지 마시고 백록담한의원에 방문하여 상담 받아보시기 바랍니다. 저희 백록담한의원은 환자분들의 건강과 행복을 위해 항상 최선을 다하겠습니다. 감사합니다.

What Depression Patients Wonder About

안녕하세요 백록담한의원 대표원장 최연승입니다. 오늘은 지난 포스팅에 이어 자궁내막증에 대해 알아보려고 합니다. 자궁내막증은 가임기 여성의 10%에게 발병하며 자궁 안에 있어야 할 자궁내막 조직이 자궁 밖의 난소, 나팔관, 방광 등 다양한 장기에 유착되어 염증과 통증을 유발하는 만성 질환입니다. 자궁내막증 진단이 늦어지는 경우 난임과 불임의 원인이 될 수 있습니다. 또한 자궁내막증은 자궁내막암과 난소암 발병률을 높일 수 있기 때문에 각별한 주의가 필요합니다. 자궁내막증으로 인한 통증으로는 생리통, 골반통, 성교통, 배변통, 만성피로 등 다양한 증상이 나타납니다. 자궁내막증이란? 자궁내막 조직이 자궁강이 아닌 자궁 밖에 증식하는 것을 의미합니다. 원래 자궁 안에 있어야 할 자궁내막 조직은 생리를 거듭할수록 자라나 외부로 배출되는데, 자궁내막증은 자궁 밖에 증식된 자궁내막 조직이 외부로 배출되지 못하고 그 자리에 남아 염증을 유발하고 주변 조직을 손상시킵니다. 주로 난소, 나팔관, 복막, 질, 방광 등 골반 장기에 나타나지만 드물게는 폐, 뇌 등 다른 장기에서도 발견됩니다. 자궁내막증 원인 자궁내막증의 정확한 원인은 아직 밝혀지지 않았지만, 가장 유력한 가설은 생리혈 역류설입니다. 생리혈 역류설은 생리혈의 일부가 나팔관을 통해 복강으로 역류하여 자궁내막 조직이 복강 내에 착상되어 자궁내막증이 발생한다는 가설입니다. 이 외에도 면역학적 이상, 유전적 요인, 환경적 요인 등 다양한 가설이 존재합니다. 자궁내막증 증상 자궁내막증의 가장 흔한 증상은 통증입니다. 통증의 종류는 다양하며 개인마다 차이가 있지만, 주로 다음과 같은 증상이 나타납니다. 1. 심한 생리통 생리통은 자궁내막증의 가장 흔한 증상으로, 생리 시작 전부터 생리 기간 내내 지속됩니다. 2. 만성 골반통 생리 기간 외에도 지속되는 골반 통증으로, 허리 통증, 다리 통증 등을 동반하기도 합니다. 3. 성교통 성관계 시 통증이 발생하며, 관계 후에도 통증이 지속될 수 있습니다. 4. 배변통 배변 시 통증이 발생하며, 변비나 설사를 동반하기도 합니다. 5. 기타 증상 만성피로, 소화불량, 빈뇨, 불임 등 다양한 증상이 나타날 수 있습니다. Hello, I am Choi Yeon-seung, the head director of Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. Today, following up on my last post, I'd like to talk about endometriosis. Endometriosis affects 10% of women of reproductive age, and is a chronic condition where endometrial tissue, which should be inside the uterus, adheres to various organs outside the uterus, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and bladder, causing inflammation and pain. If the diagnosis of endometriosis is delayed, it can be a cause of subfertility and infertility. Furthermore, endometriosis can increase the risk of endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer, thus requiring particular caution. Pain caused by endometriosis includes various symptoms such as menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), pelvic pain, painful intercourse (dyspareunia), painful bowel movements (dyschezia), and chronic fatigue. What is Endometriosis? It refers to the proliferation of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, rather than within it. Normally, endometrial tissue that should be inside the uterus grows with each menstrual cycle and is then expelled externally. However, in endometriosis, the endometrial tissue that has proliferated outside the uterus cannot be expelled and remains in that location, causing inflammation and damaging surrounding tissues. It primarily appears in pelvic organs such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, peritoneum, vagina, and bladder, but is rarely found in other organs like the lungs and brain. Causes of Endometriosis Although the exact cause of endometriosis is not yet known, the most plausible hypothesis is the retrograde menstruation theory. The retrograde menstruation theory proposes that some menstrual blood flows backward through the fallopian tubes into the abdominal cavity, where endometrial tissue implants, leading to the development of endometriosis. In addition to this, various other hypotheses exist, including immunological abnormalities, genetic factors, and environmental factors. Symptoms of Endometriosis The most common symptom of endometriosis is pain. The types of pain vary and differ from person to person, but primarily the following symptoms appear: 1. Severe Menstrual Pain (Dysmenorrhea) Menstrual pain is the most common symptom of endometriosis, and it persists from before the start of menstruation throughout the menstrual period. 2. Chronic Pelvic Pain This is pelvic pain that persists even outside the menstrual period, and may also be accompanied by lower back pain and leg pain. 3. Painful Intercourse (Dyspareunia) Pain occurs during sexual intercourse, and may persist even after intercourse. 4. Painful Bowel Movements (Dyschezia) Pain occurs during bowel movements, and may also be accompanied by constipation or diarrhea. 5. Other Symptoms Various symptoms such as chronic fatigue, indigestion, frequent urination, and infertility may appear.

Hives Treatment: What You're Curious About

Hello, I am Choi Yeon-seung, the head director of Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. The New Year of Gapjin (2024) has dawned. Happy New Year! My first blog post of the year is a bit late. The reason for that is... due to publishing a book. I have been researching and treating Korean medicine for the prevention of recurrence and metastasis after breast cancer surgery. And finally, I have compiled the content I have researched and treated into a book and published it. The book title is "Korean Medicine Anti-cancer for Breast Cancer: Traditional Korean Medical Management for the Prevention of Breast Cancer Recurrence and Metastasis". It contains detailed information on Korean medicine treatment to prevent breast cancer recurrence and metastasis, and content that many people have been curious about, presented easily and in detail. While it includes content I've previously written on my blog, there is also a lot of new content written specifically for this book. This book is scheduled to be officially published in early February. Currently, it is undergoing proofreading in a proof copy state. Once it's published, I will share more detailed news about its publication. We appreciate your continued interest in Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic in 2024. Thank you.

Precautions When Treating Indigestion

<h3>Hello, I am Choi Yeon-seung, the head director of Baekrokdam Korean Medicine Clinic.</h3> Before I knew it, this is already my sixth post specifically about scoliosis. As I write posts about scoliosis, I often recall my school days. Personally, since scoliosis is a condition often discovered during adolescence, among my friends and younger siblings during my school days, there were some who suffered from scoliosis. Because of these experiences, I believe I understand and empathize with the struggles of those suffering from scoliosis more than anyone else. Today, let's explore the advantages of Korean medicine treatment for scoliosis, as well as the criteria for surgical treatment. <a href="https://blog.naver.com/belllrock/223293023249"> If you want to learn about scoliosis symptoms and self-diagnosis methods, click here. </a> <h3>Scoliosis: Treatment Criteria According to Cobb Angle (Scoliosis Angle)</h3> For scoliosis, treatment criteria vary depending on the Cobb angle (scoliosis angle). Furthermore, in the case of adolescents (during their growth period), because their growth plates are open, their skeletal maturity, specifically the Risser stage, must also be considered. So, let's examine the treatment criteria based on the Cobb angle. <ul> <li>Cobb Angle Less Than 10 Degrees (Low Risk): Conservative treatments such as bracing, physical therapy, exercise therapy, or manual therapy are not required. It is important to monitor changes in the scoliosis angle through regular follow-ups.</li> <li>Cobb Angle 10 Degrees or More and Less Than 20 Degrees (Mild Scoliosis): From this point, conservative treatment can be considered. Exercise therapy, manual therapy, manipulative therapy, and corrective treatments that strengthen the muscles around the spine and correct posture are effective. Among Korean medicine treatments, herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping, and Chuna therapy can be used.</li> <li>Cobb Angle 20 Degrees or More and Less Than 40 Degrees (Moderate Scoliosis): Combining bracing and Korean medicine treatment is effective.</li> <li>Cobb Angle 40 Degrees or More (Severe Scoliosis): This is the stage where surgical treatment should be considered. However, even after surgery, there is a possibility of recurrence and the development of scoliosis in other areas, so consistent management with Korean medicine treatment and lifestyle correction is important.</li> </ul>
