Korean Medicine Clinic in Gwangmyeong Sageori, Korea

I visited a Korean Medicine Clinic near my workplace because of lower back pain. It was interesting having my pulse checked digitally, and after getting acupuncture and physical therapy for two days, I felt much better.

I visited Yerang Oriental Medicine Clinic located at Hanandong Hanansaeguri for treatment of my allergic rhinitis and tried a herbal medicine covered by health insurance, and the results were so good that I wanted to leave a record. For years, whenever the seasons changed, I would suffer from a blocked nose and sneezing all day, often waking up gasping for air. I found that the medication would provide temporary relief, but I would quickly return to my original state, and once I started to feel sick, I would suffer for a month or two. However, thanks to the herbal medicine I received from Yerang Oriental Medicine Clinic, my symptoms have noticeably improved, and I felt a great sense of satisfaction. During my first visit, the doctor calmly explained why my rhinitis kept getting worse and what lifestyle habits were affecting it. They informed me that a new health insurance-covered herbal medicine program had started this year, significantly reducing the financial burden. To be honest, I was a bit concerned about the cost of herbal medicine, but this time, I felt much lighter knowing I could continue my treatment without financial worries. After our consultation, they provided a customized prescription based on my constitution and current health status, explaining that it focused on reducing internal inflammation and regulating my immune response, unlike the traditional herbal medicine I had taken before. The herbal medicine is taken twice a day, and it wasn't too strong or hard to take, plus the packaging was neat, making it easy to carry. After about a week, I started to notice a gradual reduction in nasal congestion, and the severe sneezing fits I used to experience every morning subsided, disappearing almost entirely by the second week. My sleep also improved, and I no longer woke up gasping for air, nor did I feel a dry throat or heavy head upon waking. In the past, I often woke up with a completely blocked nose and would struggle to wash my face for a while, but this time I could wake up feeling fresh, clearly noticing that my body had changed. What surprised me the most was that on days when the cold wind blew and there was a lot of dust, I didn't react as strongly as before. Typically, during periods when the indoor heating would dry out the air, my nose would swell completely, and I would frequently get nosebleeds from blowing my nose too much. However, this time I maintained a feeling of open airways with hardly any swelling. The doctor had explained thoroughly during the consultation why a customized prescription was so important, and experiencing it firsthand made a definite difference. It wasn’t just a medication to suppress the symptoms; it felt more like stabilizing my body’s response itself. One of the things I appreciated about my visits was that the atmosphere at Yerang Oriental Medicine Clinic was really calm and comfortable. The staff were friendly, making it easy for new patients to ask questions without feeling burdened. They addressed any concerns I had during the treatment process quickly, which built my trust. Especially with the practical aspects of how the health insurance-covered herbal medicine is billed and how much the costs are reduced, they provided detailed guidance, which was very helpful in deciding on my treatment. After consistently taking the herbal medicine for about a month, the chronic dryness and heaviness in my nose were resolved, making my daily life much more comfortable. I relied less on air purifiers or humidifiers, and when I woke up in the morning, my face felt light and my breathing was smooth, improving my overall condition for the day. Above all, the most significant change was the stress of having my airways constantly blocked was gone. When I had rhinitis, my head would feel foggy, I struggled to focus, and carrying tissues when going out became a habit, but this time, those issues have significantly diminished, which has increased my satisfaction immensely. It feels like the treatment I received at Yerang Oriental Medicine Clinic completely transformed my life with allergic rhinitis, and I want to continue receiving care during seasonal changes or when my immune system is low. The financial burden is significantly lower compared to before, making it easier to continue my visits, and I truly felt that the customized herbal medicine was a great help for me. If you are suffering from chronic rhinitis, I think it would be good to at least have a consultation. It really helped me!

Sometimes when I feel unwell, I go for acupuncture ^^ It's great.
