Q I want to know how herbal medicine and acupuncture work for Meniere's disease.

A Herbal medicine revitalizes spleen and stomach functions to dissolve phlegm and restore water metabolism, while acupuncture stimulates acupoints around the ears to improve blood circulation in the inner ear. When these two treatments are combined, one can expect effects such as lowering endolymphatic pressure and reducing seizures.

Detailed Answer

The herbal medicine used for Meniere's disease primarily consists of prescriptions designed to dissolve phlegm (dampness) and strengthen the spleen and stomach. Representative types include herbal medicines that treat phlegm and dizziness, as well as those that remove dampness from the body to manage dizziness. Pinellia and Atractylodes revitalize the digestive and transformative functions of the spleen and stomach, while Alisma and Poria reduce the stagnation of dampness in the inner ear through diuretic and diuretic effects. If kidney deficiency is present, herbal medicines that tonify kidney energy or strengthen the mind and spleen and stomach are added. Acupuncture utilizes acupoints around the ears—such as the area in front of, behind, and below the ears—as well as distant points like the inner ankle bone and below the knee, to simultaneously stimulate blood circulation in the inner ear and kidney function. From the perspective of a Korean medicine clinic, Dongjedang customizes prescriptions individually, as the proportions of phlegm fumigation, kidney deficiency, and liver qi stagnation vary among Meniere's patients. Herbal medicine stabilizes the damping environment of the inner ear, while acupuncture opens up blood circulation around the ears to enhance the therapeutic effect. It is common practice to combine acupuncture and herbal medicine 2 to 3 times a week during the initial stage of treatment, and then switch to maintenance treatment using only herbal medicine during the stable phase.
