Q How does Korean medicine treat leaky gut step by step? I am curious about the order.
A Usually the three stages proceed as: ①damp-heat removal (creating an environment for inflammation and toxin elimination) → ②spleen-stomach transformation recovery (improving digestion and absorption function) → ③intestinal mucosal regeneration reinforcement (tonifying spleen qi and kidney qi).
Detailed Answer
In the first stage, intestinal damp-heat is removed to reduce the burden of inflammation and create a toxin-elimination environment. In the second stage, the spleen-stomach transformation function is activated to normalize digestion and absorption and create an environment suitable for beneficial bacteria to grow. In the final stage, spleen qi and kidney qi are tonified to improve the intestinal mucosa regeneration and defense capability and prevent relapse.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
The transition point for each stage is adjusted individually according to symptom changes and examination results. Rather than a uniform period, proceeding flexibly while observing the body's response is the principle.
