Ansan Cheongdam BS Korean Medicine Clinic, Review of Daughter's Skin Soothing Treatment

After my 6th-grade daughter suffered from a severe case of the flu, hives-like rashes appeared on her back and neck, causing intense itching. So, she left school early to visit a Korean medicine clinic. At first, I thought it was just a simple skin issue, but I became worried as it spread and she kept scratching. In the examination room, the director thoroughly asked about my daughter's recent condition, her recovery status after the flu, and even her dietary habits. He explained that the skin reaction was a result of an imbalance in her body's immune system.
The treatment focused on stabilizing the child's physical condition. First, to alleviate the heat sensation and itching, the child received a prescription for herbal medicine tailored for pediatric use. At the hospital, acupuncture for skin soothing and heat therapy were administered concurrently. The acupuncture was performed very gently, so the child did not experience significant pain, and I could feel the itching decreasing slightly after the treatment. Additionally, detailed instructions on skin moisturization and dietary adjustments were provided so that I could immediately apply them to daily life.
