Nasal allergy rhinitis Korean medicine clinic herbal medicine (herbal remedy) treatment review

Allergic rhinitis started while I was attending fifth grade at elementary school, with a tingling sensation at the tip of my nose.

The pain continued to worsen, and I also had sneezing, tears, and a lot of nasal discharge.

Initially, the symptoms were very similar to a cold, so at that time, it was a disease name that I had never heard of or seen before.

I thought it was just a mild symptom of the changing seasons, but the pain is so severe I can't attend class.

I left early from work, went to the hospital with my mom, and had various tests done, and it was immediately diagnosed as allergic rhinitis.

The doctor was saying that~

 

My father also does not have these symptoms, and among my family, only my mother, youngest brother, and I do.
It seems that I developed allergic rhinitis due to my mother's genetic influence.

 

 

Allergic rhinitis?

It is a condition characterized by persistent symptoms such as runny nose, nasal congestion, and sneezing caused by an allergic reaction of the nasal mucosa to certain substances.

Chronic rhinitis refers to the repeated occurrence of rhinitis due to the inability to treat rhinitis in its early stages.

​

Rhinitis differs from general inflammation in that antibiotics cannot be used, and prolonged use of nasal decongestants or antihistamines can dry out the nasal mucosa, potentially leading to chronic rhinitis.

Allergic rhinitis occurs when the nasal mucosa cannot respond properly to external environmental changes or allergens that cause inflammation, leading to symptoms such as runny nose, sneezing, and nasal congestion. In short, it is a decline in the immune function of the nasal mucosa.

Restoring the original function of the nasal mucosa is essential to overcome allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinitis. [Source: Lala Han Clinic]

 

During times of discomfort from rhinitis, at home, "Koepeuk" is very famous.

In severe cases, about 4 times a day, and generally about 2 to 3 times.

It has the effect of drying up a runny nose.

Certainly, not having a runny nose really helps in daily life.

 

 

I always go to the ENT clinic as well.

Allergic rhinitis has various symptoms, but

My eyes always tend to be problematic.

I think it's because of a sneeze. Prescriptions for nasal ointments and eye drops are the basics.

In severe cases, the day you get an injection in your buttocks can last about a week.

I think about two weeks is okay.

It seems that the regular customer who comes every year has allergic rhinitis.

 

 

 

 

This is the pamphlet I saw when I visited the oriental medicine clinic after my mom's traffic accident.

Starting April 29, 2024, health insurance will cover six diseases for herbal medicine (Korean medicine).

You can receive treatment at a Korean medicine clinic with your accident insurance, but diseases are not covered by the insurance.

 

However, it is possible to treat allergic rhinitis with herbal medicine (Korean medicine).

I made a medical appointment for the very next day and visited.

 

 

Allergy rhinitis treatment started from October 17, 2024.

It is said that if possible, it is good to continue receiving acupuncture treatments.

I think I received acupuncture almost every day for two weeks, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

After two weeks, I received acupuncture treatment on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

 

 

 

As you can see in the picture below, my husband always teases me by calling me a "hedgehog."

How much did you really get hit on the head?

The most painful areas are the sides of the nose and the area next to the philtrum, on both the left and right sides.

That's right, but when it's right, it's really bearable.

However, when removing the needle, haha, it seems to be a bit painful~

 

It seems like I get about 30 injections at once.

The fixed area is the face, and the hands and feet are avoided, around numbers 3 to 4.

It seems that the position is changing at intervals.

 

It seems that when an acupuncture needle is inserted into the face, it emits far-infrared rays for about 30 minutes.

You just need to get acupuncture without any other physical therapy.

There is no waiting time when I receive treatment after work, so I can get vaccinated immediately.

It seems that allergy rhinitis treatment with acupuncture takes about 30 to 40 minutes.

 

 

 

 

However, the effectiveness cannot be achieved solely through acupuncture, right?

You also need to take the herbal medicine (Korean medicine) together to see the effect.

Mom also gave me unsweetened red ginseng candies to take when I take herbal medicine, haha.

However, since I am the type that really enjoys what I use, I have no aversion to herbal medicine (Korean medicine).

 

 

Allergic Rhinitis "Antihistamine" Medication

 

 

If you receive treatment for rhinitis at the ENT clinic,

When you go to the pharmacy after getting a prescription, you always have something to say, right?

Drowsiness may occur during allergy rhinitis treatment.

If you are driving, you need to be careful.

I think I have always heard about these precautions.

 

Every time I take allergy rhinitis medication, I am also affected throughout the afternoon at work.

Half-conscious, haha, I really had many such moments.

 

However, herbal medicine treatment has no such worries at all.

 

Instead of taking antihistamines that cause drowsiness for rhinitis treatment

How about trying nasal allergy acupuncture and herbal medicine treatment?

 

 

Treatment started on October 17, 2024, and has been completed.

Being able to breathe freely as you wish is truly "happiness."

This season seems to pass by so quickly.

There are absolutely no sneezes that come out every morning like a greeting.

There is no sneezing, no runny nose, and no itchy eyes.

I happened to visit a Korean medicine clinic by chance and think I received good treatment.

Starting April 29, 2024, herbal medicine (Korean medicine) treatment will no longer be limited to just allergic rhinitis like me.

(1) Menstrual pain (2) Lumbar disc herniation (3) Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease

(3) Facial nerve paralysis (4) Allergic rhinitis (5) Functional dyspepsia

 

If you are covered by health insurance, it can be applied up to twice a year for a total of two conditions, with 10 days each time for each disease.

If you are covered by health insurance, you can receive herbal medicine with a 30% co-payment.

If you have private insurance that covers traditional Korean medicine clinics, you can also file claims with your private insurance.

(It may vary depending on the individual insurance)

 

It would be faster to first call the nearby Korean medicine clinic.
