When Fire Crawls Beneath Your Skin: Unraveling the Mystery of Weird Burning Sensations with Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine
Unraveling the Enigma of Burning Sensations
Burning sensations can be a frustrating and confusing medical mystery. Unlike common burns, these internal fires often lack a clear origin, flitting across the body like phantoms. This unpredictability leaves patients feeling lost and unheard, desperately searching for answers.
Enter Dr. Kihyon Sohn, a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist practicing in Beaverton, Oregon. Dr. Sohn takes a unique approach, drawing not from traditional Chinese medicine, but from the vast and diverse tapestry of traditional Asian medicine. This holistic perspective allows him to see beyond the surface symptoms and delve into the root cause of these enigmatic burning sensations.
“For many patients, the burning sensation is just the tip of the iceberg,” explains Dr. Sohn. “It’s often a manifestation of underlying imbalances in the body’s energy flow, known as Qi (pronounced ‘chee’).”
A Tapestry of Traditions: Unveiling the Path to Healing
Dr. Sohn’s approach is far from one-size-fits-all. He meticulously weaves together threads from various Asian medicinal traditions, including:
- Korean Sasang Medicine: This system categorizes individuals into four distinct constitutions, each with unique energy patterns and propensities for specific imbalances. Understanding your Sasang type allows Dr. Sohn to tailor your treatment plan accordingly.
- Traditional Korean medicine: This tradition emphasizes using herbal formulas to address specific disharmonies within the body. Dr. Sohn carefully selects and combines potent herbs based on your individual needs.
- Korean Saam acupuncture: This ancient wisdom system incorporates acupuncture to restore balance and promote healing.
By drawing from this rich tapestry, Dr. Sohn crafts personalized treatment plans beyond simply masking the burning sensation. He aims to address the underlying imbalances, restore the flow of Qi, and ultimately empower patients to reclaim their well-being.
“It’s not just about stopping the burning,” emphasizes Dr. Sohn. “It’s about helping patients rediscover their natural balance and live free from these mysterious sensations.”
Glimmers of Hope: Testimonials from the Recovered
Dr. Sohn’s approach has brought solace and relief to many patients who had previously struggled to find answers. Here are a few glimpses of hope:
- “The burning on my feet used to make me dread every step,” shares Sarah, a grateful patient. “Dr. Sohn’s herbal formulas and acupuncture treatments have brought me back to life. I can finally walk without feeling like I’m stepping on fire.”
