Q How often do I need to visit for Korean medicine treatment of allergic rhinitis?
A For the first 2-4 weeks, acupuncture 2-3 times a week; after that, adjusted to once a week or every other week depending on symptoms.
Detailed Answer
During acute or flare-up phases, intensive treatment is needed, so 2-3 visits per week are recommended. Once symptoms stabilize, maintenance treatment shifts to once a week, and before seasonal transitions (March-April, September-October) a 2-week intensive course is carried out in advance. The herbal medicine course usually lasts 4-12 weeks.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we clearly explain the expected treatment period and visit frequency at the first visit. For patients living in the Dong-gu and Dongincheon areas of Incheon, we propose separate preventive plans before the yellow dust and pollen seasons, given the characteristics of the West Sea region.
