Q Can a child who has atopic dermatitis together with rhinitis and asthma be treated with Korean medicine?
A Yes. We compose a prescription that also improves the rhinitis and asthma accompanying the allergic march.
Detailed Answer
Atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and asthma all arise from the same immune hypersensitivity mechanism (the allergic march). In Korean medicine, these are approached in an integrated way as a decline in the function of the lungs, digestive system, and kidneys, allowing multiple symptoms to be addressed together with a single prescription.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, for combined atopy-rhinitis cases, we add herbs that reinforce lung energy to compose a prescription that improves respiratory symptoms as well.
