Q My child has both rhinitis and atopic dermatitis — can Korean medicine treat them together?
A Strengthening Lung Qi and clearing Dampness-Heat (습열) from the Spleen-Stomach allows a simultaneous approach to both rhinitis and atopic dermatitis.
Detailed Answer
Both rhinitis and atopic dermatitis are immune hypersensitivity reactions that share a common root in Korean medicine: Lung Qi deficiency and Dampness-Heat (濕熱, seupyeol) in the Spleen-Stomach. A formula that strengthens Lung Qi while clearing Spleen-Stomach Dampness-Heat can improve both conditions simultaneously, making treatment more efficient.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, when rhinitis and atopic dermatitis co-exist, we monitor skin reactions closely and adjust prescription intensity accordingly. Changes in both conditions are recorded together to optimize the treatment direction.
