Waking before dawn
Every night, without fail, you wake up between 3 and 4 a.m.,
and it takes a long time to fall back asleep.
Your tests are normal, but you still don't feel right?
Your belly, tongue and pulse may hold the answer.
Herbal Medicine
Some conditions of the body don't show up on scans or blood tests. We check by hand, and prescribe herbal medicine based on what we find.
What we often hear
If you've been to several clinics and no one has found the cause,
there may be a place no one has looked yet.

Wanting to cut back on sleeping pills
Even with medication, you don't feel like you slept,
and you worry about becoming dependent.

Years of stomach medicine
You've taken acid reducers for a long time,
but the lump in your throat and the cough are still there.
🍃
No better no matter how much you rest
Even after a full night's sleep you don't feel refreshed,
and your energy doesn't come back.
Special Diagnosis System
Just because it doesn't show up on a test doesn't mean it doesn't hurt
An endoscopy shows inflammation and ulcers in the stomach lining. But it doesn't show how well your stomach and intestines are moving, or whether your body is properly resting at night.
When severe stress and fatigue go on, the balance of the autonomic nervous system breaks down. Even at night, the sympathetic ("fight or flight") system doesn't settle, and your body stays switched on. Not being able to sleep isn't a matter of willpower. It means the switch that lets you rest isn't working properly.
At 당당한의원 대구수성점, we check what state your body is in now through abdominal diagnosis (pressing on the belly), tongue diagnosis (looking at the tongue) and pulse diagnosis (feeling the pulse). These are ways of reading, by hand and by eye, what doesn't appear on a test report.

Frequently asked questions
Q. I'm taking sleeping pills. Can I take herbal medicine too?
A. Yes. At first you take both, and once your sleep becomes more stable, we talk together about gradually reducing the dose. Let us know what medications you take, and we'll prescribe accordingly.
Q. Tests show nothing wrong, so why do I hurt?
A. Scans and blood tests look for tissue damage or abnormal numbers. Problems with function, such as whether your body is working properly or resting at night, may not be picked up. We check for those through abdominal and pulse diagnosis.
질문 2개 더 보기 접기
Q. Will herbal medicine make me gain weight?
A. It depends on the prescription. Unless it's a prescription meant to help you gain weight, it won't. If you're concerned, just let us know at your visit.
Q. How long will I need to take it?
A. It depends on your symptoms and condition. Because we adjust as we watch your progress, we don't fix a period from the start. We'll tell you what progress to expect at your visit.
