Why does my bloating
keep coming back?

Bloating, indigestion and that heavy, full feeling after meals are some of the most common things we see — but they rarely come from a single cause. In Korean medicine the same bloating can come from very different patterns inside the body. Find your pattern, and the treatment, herbal medicine and diet can finally fit you.

Stress-driven

Tension & Qi Stagnation

Bloating flares with stress. Tight, stuffy chest and sides, frequent sighing, irritability.

Diet & alcohol

Food Stagnation & Heat

From overeating, greasy food and drinking. Upper-belly fullness, belching, heaviness, bad breath.

Weak digestion

Phlegm & Fluid Build-up

A weak gut lets fluid and phlegm pool. Fullness on little food, puffiness, gurgling, tiredness.

Cold & loose stool

Cold-Natured Digestion

A cold belly that prefers warmth. Dull pain eased by heat, gurgling, frequent loose stool.

Stomach heat

Excess Stomach Heat

Strong appetite with burning. Heartburn, swollen gums, thirst, hungry again soon after eating.

Dryness

Depleted Stomach Fluids

Dryness and deficiency-heat. Hungry but no appetite, empty-stomach burning, constipation.

Herbal Medicine · Acupuncture · Pharmacopuncture

Matched to your pattern

Once your pattern is confirmed, treatment is built around it — herbal medicine, acupuncture and pharmacopuncture chosen for your body, not a one-size-fits-all plan. The goal is to ease the bloating you feel now while addressing the root pattern behind it.

The exact herbal formula, dose and treatment are decided individually by Dr. Jeong after your consultation. All formulas can be re-shipped to your home country by EMS; PayPal accepted.
