Stress overload
When stress from work, relationships or exams piles up,
headaches, indigestion and a tight chest come along with it.
Special Diagnosis System
Problems of the mind don't get better by treating the brain alone
Most people who come to us with insomnia, depression or panic disorder have been treated with medication that approaches the problem only as a matter of brain neurotransmitters. Korean medicine, however, holds that "the mind can rest only when the body is at ease."
When the heart overheats, you feel anxious and your heart pounds for no reason.
When the energy of the liver gets blocked, you become irritable and your chest feels tight.
When the spleen weakens, one thought leads to another and it becomes hard to fall asleep.
At 당당한의원 대구수성점, we don't simply suppress symptoms. Through pulse and abdominal diagnosis, we carefully work out how the balance among the three organ systems of the heart, liver and spleen has broken down, and where the flow of qi and blood has become blocked.
Correcting the body's imbalance to create an environment where the brain can find its own calm: this is the root-level care for the mind that 당당한의원 대구수성점 aims for.

Core Solution Core treatment principles
Core treatment principles
for finding peace of mind
1
Balancing the heart, liver and spleen
We regulate the function of the heart, which governs the mind; the liver, which manages stress; and the spleen, which governs thinking.
2
Harmonizing qi, blood, yin and yang
We replenish what is lacking, clear what is blocked, cool excess heat and warm what is cold, improving the body's internal environment.

Sleep, relaxation and recovery
We help make deep sleep possible and ease tension, building up the strength the brain and body need to recover on their own.

Your doctor
Director Dr. Jihun Kim
I see patients whose tests came back normal but who still don't feel right. I check the state of the body through abdominal diagnosis (pressing on the belly), tongue diagnosis and pulse diagnosis, and I record what I find as numbers so we can compare at the next visit.
With pain, I don't look only at the spot that hurts. I look for the cause in the way your feet meet the ground, the balance of your jaw and the way you walk. When I explain a treatment plan, I also tell you which study, in which journal, it's based on. I believe evidence only counts as evidence if you can check it yourself.
Treatment Process
How treatment works
1
Questionnaire and 4-axis function assessment
Using a symptom questionnaire plus pulse and abdominal diagnosis,
we assess the four axes of qi, blood, yin and yang and the state of the heart, liver and spleen.
2
Constitution and pattern analysis
Combining your Sasang constitution with the 4-axis results,
we identify the physical pattern behind your symptoms, such as "heart-gallbladder timidity" or "liver qi stagnation."
3
A personalized treatment plan
We design herbal medicine, acupuncture and pharmacopuncture, and any lifestyle care you need (sleep, exercise, relaxation)
to fit your pattern and daily rhythm.
4
Follow-up and ongoing care
Through regular consultations, we check changes in your symptoms and 4-axis measures,
adjust the intensity of treatment, and help prevent relapse.
Frequently asked questions
Q. I'm taking psychiatric medication. Can I take herbal medicine at the same time?
A. Yes, you can. We start by using both together, and once your symptoms improve, one possible goal is to gradually reduce the Western medication.
Q. Can treatment help me get better?
A. With problems of the mind, "management and regulation" matter most. We help balance your body so you build the strength to handle stress on your own.

Q. Do you offer counseling?
A. Rather than professional psychological counseling, our focus is Korean medicine care and lifestyle guidance. If deeper counseling is needed, we may recommend a specialized center.
