Hello, I’m Director Kim Joon-myung of Haewoosso. I had a hard time because my intestines were not good since I was young.
So when I talk to patients, I relate to a lot of things. I’ve suffered a lot from the intestines, but I’m rather grateful for the experiences that help me understand patients, and the experiences of treating myself are also helpful to patients.
As a patient and oriental medicine doctor, I write a story about the intestine. * All diseases start in the intestine, Hippocrates left a saying, “All diseases start in the intestine problems.” It’s a long time ago, but a lot of recent studies have proven this argument to be true.
Studies have been actively conducted that the intestine not only plays a role in digestion, absorption, and excretion, but also affects immunity, mental state, brain disease, allergies, aging, obesity, diabetes, and cancer.
When the intestinal function decreases, the body weakens due to insufficient absorption of nutrients, and toxins accumulate in the body because waste is not excreted. In addition, 70-80% of immune cells are distributed in the intestinal problems, so if the intestine is not healthy, immunity decreases.
A kind of Intestinal problems
Recently, the theory of brain-field connection axis has been actively studied, with emotional factors such as tension, anxiety, anger, and depression worsening intestinal function, and changes in intestinal microorganisms affect brain function, causing brain diseases such as depression, autism, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia.
In fact, you’ve all felt at least once that your body is heavy and your brain is not spinning when you’re stressed, or on the contrary, when you’re digesting, or your intestines are bad.
* I feel better because I feel comfortable inside. My high school classmate once visited me. It was my first time meeting you since graduation, so I was very happy, but on the other hand, I was worried if I was sick.
Fortunately, I didn’t feel much pain, and I came because I was tired and wanted to take medicine. When I treated him, he had chronic indigestion symptoms, so he recommended treating indigestion first and then taking herbal medicine later.
After taking oriental medicine for about a month, he said he felt very comfortable, so he said he would prescribe some medicine.
And my friend just asked me to prescribe more medicine now, and he said that the tiredness disappeared and that the medicine is the best than the medicine he has taken so far.
You often see patients who get better overall conditions as their intestines get healthier.
* Irritable bowel syndrome, which is common but does not heal well, is a common and difficult disease among many bowel diseases. 과민성대장
Intestinal problems – IBS
Irritable bowel syndrome is a common disease that is suspected to be a patient up to 15% of the total population, but it is known as a disease that does not heal well and recur well.
Typical symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome include abdominal pain, stool changes, and abdominal discomfort.
The pattern of abdominal pain varies from patient to patient, but they often complain of sudden abdominal pain in nervous or anxious situations.
Abdominal pain with abdominal distention as gas increases, abdominal pain accompanied by diarrhea after meals or drinking, and frequent pain.
These abdominal pain often decreases after defecation, but there are some patients whose pain does not go away after defecation, and rather, their stomach hurts more gently after defecation.
Diarrhea is common as a change in feces, but there are cases where spasmodic constipation occurs that cannot be discharged even though you have a desire to defecate
There are cases where it is not cool and residual stool remains, and there are cases where it takes a lot of time to defecation.
Symtoms of IBS in intestinal problems
Many patients complain of abdominal discomfort such as gas-filled abdominal distension, bowel sound hyperbole in their stomach, and swelling in their intestines.
In addition to these representative intestinal symptoms after treatment at Haewoosong Clinic, various symptoms such as indigestion, chronic fatigue, muscle pain, depression, and headache are often accompanied.
* It is important to improve the body’s function, and irritable bowel syndrome has no clear cause, so symptomatic treatment for symptoms is being performed.
Depending on the symptoms, diarrhea is treated by prescribing antidiarrheal drugs, constipation pills, and stomach pain, and adding formal drugs, lactic acid bacteria, sometimes nerve stabilizers, and anti-depressants.
These treatments are not ineffective, but they are hardly fundamental. This is because it can reduce symptoms, but it is not a treatment that strengthens the intestine. In the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, it is most important to improve the body’s function.
As mentioned earlier, mental factors such as stress and deterioration of the intestinal environment are the main causes of intestinal function deterioration, so it is important to stabilize the brain-field nerve and improve the intestinal environment in treatment.
In computer paraphrase, the brain-field nerve problem is a software error, and the deterioration of the intestinal environment is a hardware failure.
Depending on the patient, software issues are dominant, and hardware issues are dominant, so each situation determines where to focus treatment. Haewoosso Clinic
* It is a medicine that uses a lot of Anshin’s medicine for brain-field nerve stability and Baekbok’s medicine.(for brain-field nerve stability)
And it is a medicine that is very effective in treating irritable bowel syndrome as well as neurological symptoms.
In addition to the Ansin medicine, medicinal herbs such as Hyangbuja and dermis that facilitate the communication of energy are also used.
Intestinal environment
*If the intestinal environment is bad, lactobacillus is not effective, so it is necessary to distinguish and treat patients’ physical characteristics when improving the intestinal environment.
Even if you take probiotics such as lactobacillus, lactobacillus cannot settle down if the intestinal environment is not good, so even if you take it, it often does not work.
Depending on the patient, physical characteristics such as cold intestines, hot intestines, moist intestines, and poor digestion and absorption are different, so the intestinal environment is improved only when treated with medicine suitable for each condition.
Rather than focusing only on the symptoms themselves, finding out what problems cause the symptoms and improving the problematic physical condition.
It is a way to treat irritable bowel syndrome more fundamentally. In fact, irritable bowel syndrome is not a life-threatening disease.
However, it is a disease that can seriously deteriorate the quality of life, and all diseases can occur when the intestine is bad, so it is recommended to treat it.
People with poor intestinal problems should also pay attention to food intake, while those suffering from gas and diarrhea recommend eating podmap meals,
And those with constipation recommend foods with a lot of dietary fiber, so you need to control your intake depending on your digestive condition.
Everything works out only when you feel comfortable. We will also do our best to make patients feel comfortable. Thank you 해우소한의원
