Hello, this is Sunyujae Korean Medicine Clinic, where kind hearts reside.
Many people who experience a car accident tend to dismiss it, thinking, “This much should be fine.” However, the impact of an accident can affect not only visible injuries but also deep within the body, such as muscles, ligaments, and nerves. This can lead to lingering discomforts like pain, fatigue, insomnia, or dizziness over time.
The herbal medicine (한약) prescribed at this time is not merely a ‘tonic’ (보약) to replenish energy. It consists of treatment-focused Korean medicine prescriptions that alleviate post-accident tension and poor circulation, and help restore the body’s recovery balance. The herbs and composition may vary depending on the patient’s age, constitution (체질), and accident type, and it is crucial to help the body regain its balance naturally.
