Q When I first come to Dongjedang for hwa-byung, how often do I need to visit?
A For the first month, visit at 2-week intervals, and once symptoms stabilize, adjust to once a month.
Detailed Answer
In early hwa-byung, it is important to closely observe changes in symptoms. For the first month, visit at 2-week intervals to check the response to the prescription (changes in heat sensation and foreign-body sensation) and the state of sleep and digestion. After that, once the main symptoms stabilize, switch to monthly visits, and during periods of severe stress there are also cases where acupuncture is added once a week. If prescription adjustments can be made by phone or online consultation, the number of visits can be reduced.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
For those who find it difficult to come to the Dongjedang main clinic in Dong-gu, Incheon, we also offer remote consultation for prescription adjustment after the first visit. When you come for the first time, jotting down your main symptoms over the past month (when they were most severe, in what situations they worsened) saves consultation time.
