Hello, this is Sunyujae Korean Medicine Clinic, where good hearts reside.


Can colds be treated at a Korean medicine clinic?
This is one of the questions frequently heard in the consultation room at Sunyujae Korean Medicine Clinic in Suji-gu. “Aren’t colds only treated at hospitals?” However, in reality, the effectiveness of cold treatment at a Korean medicine clinic is excellent. Cold treatment at a Korean medicine clinic minimizes the use of antibiotics and focuses on fundamental treatment that helps the body’s immunity recover on its own.
For example, for patients visiting with a common cold (rhinitis), we combine herbal medicine to reduce nasal inflammation with acupuncture and pharmacopuncture to aid inflammatory circulation within the nasal cavity, thereby alleviating the root cause of the inflammation itself.
Herbal medicine, won’t it be expensive?
Many people at Sunyujae Korean Medicine Clinic in Suji-gu think, “Herbal medicine is expensive and burdensome,” but in reality, the Korean medicine soft extracts & granule insurance herbal medicines (covered by insurance) used for cold treatment can be prescribed at a reasonable price.
Customized Treatment at a Korean Medicine Clinic According to Symptoms Since we utilize not only decoctions but also insurance-covered herbal medicines, anyone can receive a prescription for cold medicine that is safe and affordable to take.
