Q What stages does treatment go through for recurring infection and weakened immunity?
A First, pulse diagnosis, consultation, and any necessary tests identify the cause and constitution. Then treatment proceeds by replenishing depleted energy to build up defenses, balancing organ function, eliminating accumulated waste, and finally consolidating recovery. Emphasis and pace are adjusted to each individual.
Detailed Answer
Recurring infection has complex causes, so treatment starts with tests and consultation to rule out serious immunodeficiency and set direction. From there, the process replenishes the foundation of your defenses and restores balance, while also managing sleep, nutrition, and stress together to prevent recurrence.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Dongjedang approaches this in roughly four stages: ① replenishing the source of vital energy to build the base of your defenses; ② supporting weakened organ systems and clearing excess heat to restore balance; ③ eliminating accumulated waste to revive circulation; and ④ stabilizing recovery so you maintain a healthy, self-protecting state. Since each person is deficient in different areas, the emphasis on each stage is adjusted individually based on pulse diagnosis findings.
