Q In what order does Korean medicine treatment for pregnancy preparation proceed?
A First we assess your body through examination and pattern differentiation, then we warm a cold uterus (on-gung), resolve the blood stasis that blocks circulation (hwalhyeol), and boost ovarian function and hormone balance (boyang), managing the uterine environment step by step.
Detailed Answer
Treatment begins with thorough examination and pattern differentiation to assess your constitution and body condition. After that, alongside herbal medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion support circulation in the uterus and pelvis, and we review progress one menstrual cycle at a time to adjust the prescription. The structure and timing of the stages differ depending on whether you are preparing for natural conception or combining it with procedures.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we approach this through warming the cold uterus to restore circulation (on-gung, warming the womb), resolving hardened blood stasis and waste (hwalhyeol, activating the blood), and boosting ovarian function so it can find its own rhythm (boyang, tonifying yang). We add warming therapies such as large moxibustion, deep heat, and herbal-steam (jwahun) to deliver warmth deep into the lower abdomen, aiming not merely to relieve symptoms but to cultivate the very soil in which a seed can settle.
