Hello. I am Hong Ji-yeon, the director of Yon Clinic.
Today, I would like to talk about Yakchim (Pharmacopuncture). During my consultations, some patients often ask, "Is Yakchim a painkiller?" or "Is it a pain injection?" ^^
I prepared this post because I felt it was necessary to clarify this. To start with the conclusion: Yakchim is not a common painkiller!
Painkillers mask the pain.
Pain is the brain's detection of inflammation in the body. When inflammatory signals are transmitted to the brain, they pass through several substances, the key one being 'prostaglandin (PG).' Common painkillers like aspirin or acetaminophen are therapeutic agents designed to inhibit the synthesis of this substance, thereby preventing the brain from perceiving pain.
In contrast, Yakchim removes the fundamental cause of pain.
The raw material for Yakchim is distilled and refined 'herbal medicine.' This treatment method involves injecting the medicine directly into important acupoints or areas that are the source of the pain. In other words, its main purpose is not mere pain relief, but fundamentally removing the root cause of the pain.
Just as there are various types of herbal medicine,
Yakchim is also tailored according to
the patient's condition and cause.
Contains herbal ingredients that resolve 'blood stasis' (Ahyul) caused by trauma. Injecting it directly into the painful area or related acupoints provides rapid blood stasis removal and relieves symptoms by eliminating the cause of pain.
Replenishes nutrients in areas weakened (deficiency syndrome) by frequent pain, such as chronic arthritis or muscle aches. By strongly nourishing the weakened areas, it reduces the fundamental source of pain.
Essential for women's health issues such as menstrual disorders and infertility. Additionally, you can experience secondary benefits like a vitality boost, improved skin texture, and a brighter complexion.
At Yon Clinic, we select only those Yakchims that have been tested on our patients and ourselves and have proven effective. I never perform a treatment that I have not personally received.
