Q I want to receive Korean medicine treatment for SIBO near Dong-gu, Incheon. How often do I need to visit?
A Usually during the first 1–2 months, acupuncture treatment 1–2 times per week combined with herbal medicine. As symptoms stabilize, visits decrease to every 2 weeks or once a month. If visiting is difficult, it is also possible to proceed mainly with herbal medicine while receiving dietary guidance.
Detailed Answer
SIBO rarely resolves in a short period, so consistent management is important. Initially, intensive acupuncture treatment and herbal medicine are provided to restore gastrointestinal motility, then as improvement occurs the visit interval is extended for maintenance treatment. Herbal medicine is taken consistently at home, so daily visits are not necessary.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
