Polyarthritis

Among the medicinal ingredients in herbal medicine, the anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects of Saposhnikovia divaricata, Aralia continentalis, and Ligusticum chuanxiong have been confirmed by research. In a clinical study on patients with rheumatoid arthritis, the group receiving herbal medicine supplementation reported improvements in inflammation levels (CRP, ESR) along with a reduction in DMARD dosage. It is utilized as a supplementary or weight loss aid, rather than as a steroid replacement. Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective

In Korean medicine, emphasis is placed on a state where the body's defensive energy is weakened due to the internal cause of Bi-jeung. When the three organs—liver, kidney, and spleen—weaken, harmful external energies easily invade, leading to recurrent inflammation; therefore, restoring organ function with herbal medicine changes the inflammatory environment itself. At Dongjedang, we prescribe herbal medicine tailored to the individual's constitution, based on a detoxification approach that clears dampness, phlegm, and blood stasis from the body, thereby simultaneously improving microcirculation around the joints and restoring immune balance.
