한의학, or Korean traditional medicine, is a holistic approach to health that has been practiced for thousands of years. It focuses on balancing the body's energy, known as Qi, and emphasizes the importance of harmony between the body, mind, and environment. Treatments often include herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion, which involves burning a herb near the skin to promote healing. In 한의학, the diagnosis is based on observing the patient's symptoms, tongue, and pulse. Practitioners believe that many illnesses arise from imbalances in the body, and they aim to restore this balance through natural methods. This system of medicine is recognized for its emphasis on prevention and overall well-being.
