This winter, I've been particularly cold. My hands and feet have been cold, my body has been shivering, and I've been feeling drained of energy. I haven't been able to sleep well, and every morning I feel heavy, so I visited a Korean medicine clinic for a consultation. From the beginning, they asked me very carefully about my constitution and lifestyle, so I didn't feel like they were providing a cursory consultation.
The director took my pulse and explained that my overall circulation was poor and that I had accumulated a lot of cold energy in my body. He advised me that rather than simply warming my body, I needed a treatment that focused on improving circulation. I received acupuncture, moxibustion, and heat therapy, and was prescribed herbal medicine tailored to my condition. The acupuncture wasn't as painful as I'd expected, and the warm moxibustion treatment felt like my body was gradually loosening up, which was incredibly relaxing.
After the treatment, I immediately felt the tension in my shoulders and back relax, and my hands and feet felt less cold. After a few days, I woke up feeling much lighter. What makes this clinic better than others is that they don't just diagnose symptoms, but also explain the underlying cause and provide detailed guidance on lifestyle management. I feel like I can trust them and continue to visit regularly.
