#Treatment Stages

Q What stages does Dongjedang use to treat Meniere's disease? I'd like to know specifically.

A Based on draining water and resolving phlegm (isu-hwadam) to resolve phlegm-fluid and clear fluid retention, treatment proceeds through the stages of clearing the upper body (bringing down heat in the head), detoxifying (removing phlegm-fluid and blood stasis), and tonifying the Kidney (reinforcing Kidney deficiency). Acupuncture at points around the ear is added to herbal medicine to improve inner ear circulation as well.

Detailed Answer

Korean medicine treatment of Meniere's disease takes a divided approach between the attack phase and the stable phase. In the attack phase, the priority is to quickly resolve phlegm-fluid and calm the vertigo; in the stable phase, we address the root causes—the Spleen-Stomach and Kidney deficiency—to prevent recurrence.

Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective

Dongjedang's three-stage Meniere's treatment is as follows. ① Clearing the upper body (cheongsang): we bring down the heat and pressure gathered in the head from stress and digestive burden. This breaks the vicious cycle in which heat further raises endolymphatic pressure. ② Draining water and resolving phlegm (isu-hwadam): with Banha-baekchul-cheonma-tang and Taeksa-tang, we revive Spleen-Stomach function to resolve the fluid-dampness stagnation and phlegm-fluid pooled in the inner ear, aiming to relieve endolymphatic pressure. ③ Tonifying the Kidney (bosin): we reinforce Kidney deficiency to restore the ability to regulate body fluids and help preserve hearing. We combine acupuncture at points around the ear (Cheonggung, Imun, Yepung, Wangol) to improve inner ear circulation. Lifestyle guidance such as a low-salt diet and fluid management is also a key axis of treatment.
