Common questions
How are gastritis, reflux esophagitis, and functional dyspepsia told apart?
Reflux esophagitis is a condition in which stomach contents flow back into the esophagus, causing heartburn, sour regurgitation, and chest tightness, while gastritis or stomach cramps can appear as upper abdominal pain and digestive discomfort, so the cause and condition need to be distinguished.
In functional dyspepsia, symptoms can appear because of stomach motility or sensitivity even when an endoscopy shows nothing unusual, so diagnosis by endoscopy alone is sometimes difficult.
The symptoms of all three conditions can overlap, so they need to be distinguished through a consultation.
In constitutional diagnosis, what do pulse diagnosis, abdominal examination, and the constitution test each look at?
In constitutional diagnosis, pulse diagnosis, abdominal examination, and a constitution test are carried out together to find the cause of indigestion and to set a treatment plan that suits your constitution.
Pulse diagnosis and abdominal examination are ways of directly examining the body's condition, and the constitution test is a way of checking constitutional tendencies, so they are used to complement each other.
Based on these results, the direction of constitutional acupuncture and constitutional herbal medicine prescriptions is set.
Does national health insurance cover the treatment program?
The treatment programs on this page, such as constitutional diagnosis, constitutional acupuncture and constitutional herbal medicine, and lifestyle counseling, may or may not be covered by National Health Insurance depending on the item.
