Anger Management

Korean traditional medicine treatment is effective for anger control disorders in the following ways. First, herbal medicines that lower liver heat—such as those that cool the liver or relieve liver energy—contribute to suppressing amygdala overactivation. Second, acupuncture treatment targeting liver meridian acupoints, such as those on the top of the foot, balances the autonomic nervous system and raises the threshold for impulsive reactions. Third, effects appear more quickly when combined with CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). However, in cases involving severe aggressive behaviors such as domestic violence, professional counseling must be combined.

Perspective of a Korean Traditional Medicine Clinic

At Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic, our goal is not merely to suppress symptoms, but to restore the circulation of liver energy to create a physical state where emotions do not accumulate. The course of treatment varies from person to person, and we will provide an accurate prognosis during the initial consultation.
