A different approach from within,
care tailored to me
Teo Korean Medicine Clinic Bundang's constitutional care clinic is not simple symptom treatment, but personalized Korean medicine care based on a constitutional diagnosis.
Various chronic conditions, repeated fatigue, frequent colds, stress-related indigestion, and insomnia…
All of these symptoms My body's baseline constitution and immune status may be where these symptoms begin.
Why Improve Your Constitution?
The various symptoms of people today come from what does not suit the constitution:
Through long exposure to lifestyle habits, eating habits, and environment
It leads to reduced function of the nervous, digestive, and immune systems.
"If it always comes back even after treatment,
the answer must be found in the constitution."
8-constitution and Sasang constitutional medicine:
what is the difference?
Constitution is a way of grouping the tendencies a body is born with.
Korean medicine has several classifications, and among them Sasang constitutional medicine and the 8 constitutions are widely used.
01
Sasang constitutional medicine
-
A classification that originated in Lee Je-ma's Donguisusebowon in the late Joseon period, dividing constitutions into four types: Taeyangin, Taeeumin, Soyangin, and Soeumin.
-
Taking the relative size of the organs and the direction of one's energy as the standard, the same symptom is viewed differently depending on the constitution.
02
8 constitutions
-
It is a classification that branched off from Sasang constitutional medicine, dividing the four constitutions again into two each for eight types (Geumyang, Geumeum, Toyang, Toeum, Mogyang, Mogeum, Suyang, Sueum).
-
It is used to look in finer detail at which foods suit the constitution and which do not, and at the direction of daily life.
03
What is the difference
-
Sasang constitutional medicine has four types and 8-constitution medicine has eight, so 8-constitution is the more finely divided classification.
-
Based on constitutional pulse and abdominal examination, we refer to both classifications together when looking at constitution.
Once your constitution is assessed,
what changes?
Even with the same symptom, depending on constitution,
the direction of the herbal prescription and daily-life care can differ.
01
Herbal medicine prescription
-
The combination and dosage of herbal ingredients are designed differently according to constitution.
-
- even when you are looking into herbal medicine, or would like a herbal recommendation or a postpartum tonic consultation, we review the symptoms and lifestyle noted at your visit together with the findings of constitutional pulse reading and abdominal examination, then choose the herbs and set the combination and dosage for your prescription.
-
Constitutional herbal medicine runs in 3-month cycles, with the formula adjusted after the condition is reviewed every half month.
02
Lifestyle and diet care
-
We also provide dietary guidance suited to your constitution and seasonal daily-life care.
-
We help you adjust the foods that suit you and those better avoided, along with posture and daily habits, to match your constitution.
03
Order and interval of tests
-
First visit: pulse, abdominal exam,Constitution acupuncture are performed, and the pulse findings and responses of several directors are put together.
-
We usually determine the constitution after 2 to 3 visits and then explain the constitutional prescription and diet. The detailed order is explained below under "How we proceed".
Cold sensitivity may extend
beyond the hands and feet
Symptoms may start in the hands and feet and, as they worsen, spread to the arms, legs, lower abdomen, lower back, and
the rest of the body.
01
Hands and feet
02
Arms and legs
03
Lower abdomen
04
Lower back
Why do cold hands and feet happen?
-
Cold hands and feet have many causes. Hypothyroidism or anemia can also be the cause, and in such cases the cause needs to be checked first.
Is there a reason my lower abdomen is cold too, not just my hands and feet?
-
Cold hands and feet start in the hands and feet, but as symptoms deepen they can spread beyond the arms and legs to the whole body, including the lower abdomen and the lower back.
In such cases it needs to be checked first
-
If the hands and feet turn white or blue, it may be Raynaud phenomenon and testing is needed. Cold hands and feet have many causes, so it is important to check the symptoms together with the cause.
We look at the symptoms and causes
of dry eye syndrome together.
We check when and how the eye discomfort appears, and look at the possible causes together with your constitution to set the direction of herbal medicine care.
Which symptoms do you check?
-
We check whether the eyes feel dry and gritty or become red often, and whether they sting as if burning and turn blurry during long periods of concentration.
What causes do you look at?
-
We check for aging with reduced tear gland function, overuse of digital devices, hormonal changes such as menopause, and possible meibomian gland dysfunction.
How do we approach it?
-
We ask whether discomfort eased only temporarily after using artificial tears, and design the combination and dosage of herbal medicinals to match the symptoms checked, your daily life, and the constitution diagnosis.
Individual constitution and Living environment are analyzed
Cold hands and feet, produced by abnormal blood circulation,
occur because blood vessels constrict due to various factors,
and as the blood supply decreases,
the cold settles in the hands and feet, which are farthest from the heart.
What the diagram shows
Cold hands and feet can come from an irregular lifestyle, immune imbalance, mental stress, peripheral blood vessel constriction, autonomic nervous system disorders, or a constitutional tendency.

Korean medicine digestive care · constitution—
the start of comfortable digestion
Indigestion, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea...
"The endoscopy was normal, so why do I feel so uncomfortable?"
Of every 3 people today, 1 lives with digestive discomfort as part of daily life.
Teo Korean Medicine Clinic Bundang does not simply suppress symptoms;
Correcting imbalances of constitution and the organs so that, at the root, restoring 'comfortable digestion'.
Functional dyspepsia / reflux esophagitis / irritable bowel syndrome / intestinal metaplasia / chronic constipation:
start with Korean medicine digestive and constitutional care.
[ Easy Digestion, Specialty 01 ]
Functional dyspepsia:
why does it occur even when endoscopy results are normal?
With indigestion, the symptoms matter.
Functional dyspepsia, on endoscopy,
Diagnosis is difficult because the movement and sensitivity of the stomach cannot be seen.
"Even when medical testing is judged normal
If you feel indigestion or discomfort, suitable treatment is needed."
CHECKLIST
Could these symptoms be a matter of constitution?
If the following problems keep repeating, it may be a sign that the balance of your constitution and your daily life has broken down.
-
I always feel bloated and my stomach never settles.
-
I digest food, but I always feel gassy.
-
It is very hard to go to the toilet in the morning, or I go often.
-
Spicy food, coffee, or flour-based food upsets my stomach right away.
-
They say the tests show nothing wrong, and it is frustrating.
As Korean medicine sees it Digestive discomfort: The Underlying Nature
In Korean medicine, we look at compound causes — reduced stomach function and heat, cold, phlegm, or deficiency in the organs —
and find the root of digestive symptoms, which differ from person to person.
Even with the same 'indigestion,' for one person it is because energy is weak,
in some people it can come from heat gathering; in others, from circulation not moving.
[ Comfortable Digestion · Care Area 02 ]
Reflux esophagitis
Reflux esophagitis, once called a disease of developed countries.
But not anymore!
Reflux esophagitis was once called a disease of developed countries because it affected 20–40% of people in Western countries,
but the number of patients in Korea continues to rise
due to changes in diet, overeating, alcohol consumption, stress,
smoking, and other factors.
Airway conditions Treatment methods
By strengthening organ function and easing psychological stress,
we aim to provide care that addresses the root cause.
Respiratory support
A dry airway easily brings a lump feeling, so treatment is carried out so that there is enough mucus.
Digestive support
It increases stomach motility to aid digestion, and reduces reflux so that the mucosal layer becomes thicker.
Relieving heat sensations
It relieves the heat that builds up under stress, treating tightness in the chest and abdominal bloating.
[ Comfortable Digestion Care 03 ]
Chronic digestive problems —
the reason you suffer:
Intestinal metaplasia
Chronic indigestion, in which goblet cells of the stomach change so that they come to resemble intestinal lining —
this is why the symptoms occur.
Intestinal metaplasia can be understood as meaning that cells have appeared which have changed to resemble the epithelial cells of the intestine.
If these symptoms occur, heartburn and indigestion appear, and if left untreated there is a high chance it can progress to stomach cancer, so early treatment matters.

Restoring immune balance,
building the strength that protects your body.
Is your immunity healthy right now?
We are exposed to outside threats every day.
Fine dust, food additives, stress, fatigue…
Immunity that has broken down in such an environment now begins to attack the body itself.
As a result
Even autoimmune conditions such as hives, alopecia areata, and rheumatoid arthritis.
“Rather than simply relieving symptoms,
fundamental treatment that changes the constitution
and restores immunity is needed.”
Immune condition self-check list
If these symptoms keep repeating, immune treatment is needed
" It is not the symptoms on the surface, but the malfunction of the immune system that must be corrected. "

Teo Korean Medicine Clinic's immune care philosophy
Chibyeong pilgu eobon (治病必求於本)
"When treating an illness,
we always look at its root."
An autoimmune condition is a state in which, through an 'error in the immune response,' the body attacks itself. Korean medicine treatment does not stop at simply calming symptoms; it also looks at the underlying constitution, organ function, the state of the autonomic nervous system, and toxin circulation, aiming for a systematic return to immune balance.
Common immune conditions that call for treatment

If it lasts six weeks or more, it is ‘chronic hives’

Lifestyle care
Constitution is not decided by a single trait
We check the pulse and the abdominal response together
It is hard to decide a constitution from how much heat or cold you usually feel or the foods you prefer alone. In constitutional care we look at the quality of the pulse and at tension, tenderness, and temperature differences in the abdomen, and we also check the body's repeated responses such as digestion, stool, sweat, and sleep.
The first result can be adjusted by applying constitutional acupuncture or a trial herbal formula and then looking again at how sleep, digestion, bowel movements, and fatigue change. Because there is a process of bringing different observations together, an online self-check list should be used only as a reference.
The same discomfort can have a different starting point for the prescription
Even with the same complaint of indigestion or fatigue, the direction to look at differs between someone who is usually cold with weak digestion and someone with heat building up and a strong appetite. That is why we ask not only about current symptoms but also about past history, medicines being taken, eating and sleeping habits, and bowel patterns.
Herbal medicine is not applied as one fixed formula based on the name of a constitution alone. We select the ingredients based on the tendencies of the strong and weak organs found during assessment and on your current discomfort, and we adjust the formula while checking the changes that appear after you take it.
The constitutional diet is adjusted while recording the body's responses
Food guidance by constitution is not a list that bans every food outright. Noting the foods you eat often and any bloating, changes in stool, swelling, or fatigue afterward helps tell which ingredients put a burden on your current condition.
Rather than changing everything at once, lifestyle care starts by adjusting the habits that repeatedly cause discomfort. Based on the responses seen during care, we adjust meal times and food composition, sleep, and activity rhythm step by step.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
How many visits does a constitution diagnosis take?
At the first visit we carry out pulse diagnosis, abdominal examination, and constitutional acupuncture, and by combining the pulse readings and responses observed by several directors, we usually diagnose the constitution after 2 to 3 visits and then provide guidance on constitutional herbal medicine and a constitutional diet.
I live far away and cannot come often. Can I still get a constitutional diagnosis?
If you come from far away, or find it hard to visit again, we proceed with a same-day diagnosis.
How long do I take constitutional herbal medicine?
Constitutional herbal medicine is given in 3-month units, and the medicine is changed after checking your condition every 15 days. Constitutional acupuncture is given 1–2 times a week.
Do you also test for the 8 constitutions?
We look at 8 constitutions and Sasang constitutional medicine together based on constitutional pulse diagnosis and abdominal examination.
What do you check at a first visit for constitution care?
We check whether a constitution was diagnosed before, the purpose of the visit, constitutional pulse diagnosis, tenderness at the Jungwan, Gwanwon, and Jeonjung points and abdominal temperature through abdominal examination, sweating, usual sleep, and changes in sleep, digestion, bowel movements, and overall condition after constitutional acupuncture and the identifying prescription.
How do the 8 constitutions and Sasang constitutions differ?
Sasang constitutional medicine divides constitutions into four types, Taeyangin, Taeeumin, Soyangin, and Soeumin, and the 8-constitution system divides each of these in two again for eight types. The 8-constitution system is the more detailed classification, and we refer to both based on constitutional pulse diagnosis and abdominal examination.
How long does a constitution test take?
At the first visit we carry out pulse diagnosis, abdominal examination, and constitutional acupuncture and check how the body responds to constitutional acupuncture and the diagnostic herbal formula, so the constitution is usually determined after 2 to 3 visits. If you come from far away or a return visit is difficult, we proceed with a same-day diagnosis.
Can the result of a constitutional diagnosis change later?
At the first visit it is treated as provisional, and because the pulse readings of several directors and the responses to constitutional acupuncture and the diagnostic herbal formula are combined and checked over 2 to 3 visits, it may be adjusted during that process.
How is it different from an online self-test?
A self-test relies on your questionnaire answers. At the clinic, the diagnosis is made by several directors together checking constitutional pulse diagnosis, abdominal examination, and your response to constitutional acupuncture.
What symptoms are checked for reflux esophagitis?
We check recurring digestive discomfort such as heartburn from stomach contents flowing back up, a sensation of something stuck in the throat, bloating, belching, and an upset stomach.
What causes and lifestyle habits are looked at for reflux esophagitis?
We look at changes in diet, overeating, alcohol, stress, and smoking, and check imbalances in constitution and organs.
How do you approach reflux esophagitis?
After assessing the condition through pulse diagnosis, abdominal examination, tongue diagnosis, and constitution tests, we consider a herbal medicine prescription focused on stomach heat and protecting the mucosa, alongside lifestyle care.
Can constitution be determined from usual traits alone?
We do not decide from usual traits such as sensitivity to heat and cold or food preferences alone. We check the pulse and the tension, tenderness, and temperature differences of the abdomen, as well as digestion, bowel movements, sweating, and sleep, along with your response to constitutional acupuncture or the diagnostic herbal formula.
Can the herbal composition differ even for the same symptoms?
Even with the same symptoms, constitutional tendency, current physical condition, past medical history, medications, and eating, sleep, and bowel habits may differ, so the herbal composition can differ. We also check your response after taking it and adjust the prescription.
