Traditional Korean medicine “Hanbang,” practiced in a HANUIWON clinic, is a regulated holistic care system fully integrated into South Korea’s health system. Unlike Western medicine, which often targets a specific disease, Hanbang seeks to restore the body’s overall balance by stimulating its self-healing abilities. It shares its historical roots with traditional Chinese medicine while differing on several aspects:

  • Classification of individuals in four constitutional types. Treatment and pharmacopoeia depend on the patient’s constitution
  • Pharmacopoeia that uses native plants of the peninsula
  • The most comprehensive reference documents, in this case is the Dongui Bogam, a medical encyclopedia of the 17th century registered at UNESCO

Treatments include acupuncture, cupping therapy, moxibustion and are generally recommended for tendonitis, indigestion problems, headaches, menstrual pain, colds, aches, chronic fatigue and menopause.
