Internal & Metabolic Disorders

Acupuncture and pharmacopuncture for internal and metabolic conditions. We address accompanying symptoms rather than the laboratory values themselves.

Cupping, moxibustion and thermal therapy. Where sensation is reduced by diabetes, intensity is lowered or treatment is not performed.

Herbal prescriptions for internal and metabolic conditions. Please tell us every medication you are taking, including health supplements.

Chuna manipulation for the neck, shoulder and lower back tension that accompanies internal conditions. It does not control blood pressure or blood sugar.

Acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion and chuna are covered by national health insurance; herbal medicine is not.

Concurrent care with internal medicine, documents to bring, and other practical guidance.

Underactive or overactive thyroid function, including nodules. We regard it as care given alongside conventional treatment.

Sudden severe joint pain caused by uric acid deposits. Uric acid control relies on conventional medication; Korean medicine is used alongside for acute pain and recurrence.

Unusually cold hands and feet. We look at peripheral circulation but first rule out thyroid disease and anaemia.

Swelling of the body. We first rule out cardiac, renal and hepatic causes before proceeding.

Blood pressure, blood sugar, lipids and abdominal obesity occurring together. It does not replace conventional medication but accompanies lifestyle correction.
