Q What causes chronic dizziness and brain fog, and how is it treated?
A When the body's clear, vitalizing energy cannot rise to nourish the brain, dizziness and foggy thinking result. Treatment focuses on lifting that energy and steadying the nervous system.
Detailed Answer
Traditional Medicine Perspective
In Korean medicine, chronic dizziness and poor concentration are linked to the body's clear, vitalizing energy failing to rise upward and reach the brain. Contributing factors include digestive weakness, fatigue, and poor circulation. Treatment combines herbal formulas to strengthen the source of that rising energy with acupuncture at points on the inner wrist that calm the heartbeat and settle the mind, and a point near the inner ankle that replenishes the body's calming yin energy — together helping to clear the head and stabilize the nervous system.
