Yon's Talk
Pungdong/Siksadong Korean Medicine Clinic,
Hello. I am Ji-yeon Hong, Director of Yon Korean Medicine Clinic.
Today, I would like to briefly summarize and share a few of our herbal medicine prescriptions. It seems many people are suffering from long COVID symptoms lately.
Looking at the recent prescriptions, there has been a high demand for herbal medicines for long COVID, herbal medicine for children and students for the new school semester, and diet-focused herbal medicine as we head into summer.
Post-COVID Care
Post-COVID Herbal Medicine Prescription Cases
#Condition Decline #Fatigue
Post-COVID - Condition Decline
This is a child who usually treats colds with herbal medicine and successfully overcame COVID-19 with it as well. Their COVID symptoms were primarily digestive, accompanied by some external cold symptoms. They visited the clinic feeling that their physical strength had declined after COVID. I prescribed medicinal herbs to supplement the deficient areas and support digestive function, tailored to the child's needs.
#Muscle Pain #Fatigue #Indigestion
Post-COVID - Muscle Pain
Many people struggle because their physical condition does not return to normal even after recovering from COVID-19. This patient complained of persistent muscle pain, indigestion, and fatigue as post-COVID sequelae. I focused the prescription on alleviating the muscle pain and indigestion.
#Headache #Spontaneous Sweating
Post-COVID - Headache, Spontaneous Sweating
This patient presented with post-COVID symptoms including headaches, spontaneous sweating, a foggy head, and digestive discomfort. Often, pre-existing weaknesses tend to surface as sequelae. I prescribed an herbal decoction to help restore the patient's compromised immunity and aid in digestive function according to their current condition.
Special Care
Physical Reinforcement and Diet Prescription Cases
#New Semester #Immunity #Growth
Child Growth and Physical Reinforcement
When children begin their first social experiences, they face significant stress and physical strain. This lowers their immunity and exposes them to various viral illnesses, including colds. This child visited the clinic with complaints of frequent colds and fatigue after starting daycare/school, and their parents were also concerned about their growth. I provided a prescription to replenish deficient qi and blood while boosting overall physical stamina.
#Student #Fatigue
Student Physical Reinforcement
This is a student who visited the clinic complaining of fatigue and digestive issues. While stress is unavoidable for students, this patient had significant issues linked to the digestive system, so I targeted that area in the prescription. Once digestive function improves, overall condition and stamina rise, allowing the body to naturally manage moderate levels of stress.
#Diet #Hyperphagia
Diet Herbal Medicine
This patient visited due to weight gain caused by increased appetite. Since they had a lot of unnecessary "damp-phlegm" and internal heat in the body, I provided a prescription to remove internal heat, eliminate unnecessary dampness, and stimulate energy metabolism. This is their third decoction, and since they responded well previously, I look forward to good results with this new one as well.
