Q I am 28 years old and live in Dong-incheon. What is the order of eczema treatment at Dongjeedang?
A Dongjeedang eczema treatment proceeds in 3 stages: heat-clearing detoxification, immune stabilization, and skin regeneration. First, internal heat toxins and waste are expelled to reduce itching and inflammation; next, the five organs are balanced to stabilize the overreactive immune system; and finally, the damaged skin barrier is regenerated to prevent relapses. Herbal medicine and acupuncture are combined according to constitution and symptoms at each stage.
Detailed Answer
The 3-stage flow of Dongjeedang eczema treatment. ①Heat-clearing detoxification: expels internal heat toxins and waste to calm itching and inflammation. ②Immune stabilization: restores balance among the five organs to stabilize the overreacting immune system and improve constitution. ③Skin regeneration: regenerates the damaged skin barrier and strengthens moisturizing ability to prevent relapses. Following this order addresses not just symptoms but causes.
Traditional Korean Medicine Perspective
Dongjeedang differentiates prescriptions by pattern diagnosis. For the spleen-stomach damp-heat (脾胃濕熱) type with nighttime itching and oozing, heat-clearing detoxification herbal medicine is used; for the blood deficiency with wind-dryness (血虛風燥) type with lichenification (skin thickening and scaling), blood-nourishing and moisturizing (補血潤燥) herbal medicine that supplements blood and nourishes and regenerates skin is used. Even with the same eczema, different patterns lead to different prescriptions and stage-specific emphases.
