Five things to check before the amount when you have excessive sweating
If you have excessive sweating, please examine the affected area, the situation in which it starts, the duration, any feeling of heat, and your condition after sweating. Sweating that suddenly occurs throughout the entire body, starts on only one side, or recurs during sleep requires an investigation into the cause.
Read ColumnIf it takes a long time for hands and feet to warm up after leaving a cold place, what should be examined?
Rather than just the fact that hands and feet are cold, looking at how slowly they warm up and whether numbness, color changes, or systemic chills occur together makes it clearer whether to simply use warming methods or proceed to a Korean medicine treatment consultation.
If sleep improves first even while heat sensation remains in the hands and feet, can this be seen as a response to Korean herbal medicine treatment?
Treatment has not stopped just because the intensity of the heat sensation remains similar. If the time it takes to fall asleep, the speed of falling back asleep, and the next day's energy improve first, Baekrokdam interprets these changes as a treatment response and continues to narrow down the target for the remaining heat sensation.
When sweating occurs on the face and head only after eating, heat regulation to consider before food
Meal-induced facial and head sweating that does not improve simply by avoiding hot and spicy foods requires looking at the overall flow of heat rising, being released through sweat, and the body's subsequent recovery. We explain from the perspective of Korean herbal medicine treatment what to reduce first when dining out and when to seek a consultation if coldness in the hands and feet or decreased energy follows a meal.
When hot hands and feet interfere with sleep every night, lifestyle management and Korean herbal medicine treatment
Rather than just cooling the extremities with ice packs, it may be necessary to adjust the bedroom environment, alcohol consumption, and late-night snacks that increase nighttime heat, and utilize Korean herbal medicine treatment that examines both the pattern of rising heat and sleep recovery. The criteria for maintenance and adjustment vary depending on when the remaining heat occurs even after sleep has improved.

How should we understand knee coldness if the cause is not simply the cold weather?
Knee coldness can reflect an internal cold state beyond simple temperature sensitivity. We guide you on how to systematically approach this by identifying which category your symptoms fall into, noting changes that require prompt medical evaluation for differential diagnosis, and preparing before your visit.

We analyze the causes of lower body coldness from the perspective of coldness (Han) and provide specific differential points from other medical causes and preparations before a medical consultation.
The meaning of facial flushing (Sang-yeol-gam) and Korean medicine treatment: How do we categorize heat rising upward?
Facial flushing is not a single disease name but refers to the sensation of heat concentrating upward.

Symptoms of facial flushing: when facial heat, sweating, throbbing, and insomnia occur together
For facial flushing, it is more important to identify accompanying symptoms than the feeling of heat alone. Depending on the combination of sweating, throbbing, insomnia, dry mouth, indigestion, and coldness in the hands and feet, Korean herbal medicine treatment will differ in whether it releases heat, replenishes a deficient foundation, or restores coldness in the lower body.
Meaning of uterine coldness: Korean medicine treatment for lower abdominal coldness combined with menstrual and pelvic pain
Uterine coldness is less a single disease name and more a term referring to a state where lower abdominal coldness, menstrual pain, pelvic pain, and menstrual changes occur together. Baekrokdam determines Korean herbal medicine and acupuncture treatments by connecting the menstrual cycle, coldness in the digestive system and lower back, Qi-Blood, and blood stasis.
When feet feel cold with diabetes: Korean medicine treatment distinguishing between coldness and sensory loss
Not all coldness in the feet associated with diabetes is a blood circulation problem. If the skin feels warm but there is ice-like coldness, numbness, or sensory loss, it may be neuropathic sensation. After checking the condition of the feet and diabetes management, Baekrokdam designs Korean medicine treatment to resolve the cold sensation while restoring sleep, digestion, and vitality.
