Korean medicine that starts
with listening.

Case history

For Anyone with a long-lasting symptom, or whose tests do not show a clear cause.

The doctor listens to the full story of your symptoms, sleep, diet, daily life and stress. He treats each person's story as part of the diagnosis.

Tongue and pulse diagnosis

For Anyone curious how Korean medicine reads the body.

The colour and coating of the tongue, and the pulse at the wrist, are read as signs of circulation and of the body's balance.

Posture and structure check

For Uneven shoulders or hips, and back or neck discomfort.

The doctor checks posture and the alignment of the spine by hand, because the spine can be linked to discomfort elsewhere in the body.

Function tests

For Those who also want measured data.

Heart rate variability and pulse wave tests give an extra view of how the body is working. The doctor then combines all findings into one picture.

Fermented herbal medicine

For Anyone who finds herbal medicine hard to taste or digest.

Each prescription is matched one to one, then fermented with a culture the clinic makes itself, for about two nights and three days. The clinic says this improves aroma and taste.

Good to know Fermenting takes about three days. Ask about timing if your stay in Seoul is short.

Constitution-based prescription

For People who want a prescription based on body type as well as symptoms.

The doctor is a member of the Sasang constitutional medicine society and takes constitution into account when choosing herbs.

Constitution acupuncture

For Anyone who wants acupuncture planned around their constitution.

Acupuncture points are chosen according to your constitution, using the doctor's training in Sasang constitutional medicine.

Thread-embedding acupuncture for pain

For Muscle and joint pain that keeps coming back.

Very fine absorbable threads are placed under the skin at points linked to the pain. They stay in place for about two months to a year and keep stimulating the area.

Chuna

For Stiffness and pain in the back, neck and joints.

Chuna is a traditional Korean manual therapy. The doctor applies pressure and movement by hand to ease structural and functional problems, adjusted to your condition.

After a car accident

For Aches and stiffness that remain after a collision.

The clinic has a stepwise programme for this period, built around chuna and acupuncture.

Digestive discomfort

For Heartburn, a lump-in-the-throat feeling, bloating and stomach pain.

The doctor looks at diet, stress and constitution together. Care may combine herbal medicine, acupuncture and advice on eating.

Headache and migraine

For Repeated headaches that disturb daily life.

A self-check questionnaire and a full assessment come first, then a plan that may combine herbal medicine and acupuncture.

Menopause symptoms

For Hot flushes, poor sleep and changes in mood.

Treatment is planned around each person's own symptoms and constitution.

Weight management

For Those who want a programme based on body type.

The clinic's weight programme combines herbal medicine with guidance on food and exercise.
