이미지
Hansarang Korean Medicine Clinic in Daerim-dong, Seoul introduces Cheongin-Yukwaehwan , a modern herbal formula designed to relieve sore throat and throat inflammation. Based on the classic prescription Gamgil-tang , this troche-type medicine provides convenient and natural relief for throat discomfort. Understanding Sore Throat and Throat Inflammation The throat, composed of the pharynx and larynx, can easily become inflamed due to colds, pollution, or vocal strain. This inflammation causes pain, hoarseness, and discomfort when swallowing. Cheongin-Yukwaehwan helps calm these symptoms by reducing heat and inflammation in the throat.

이미지
Hyangseong-Pajeok-hwan is a traditional Korean herbal pill formulated for people who rely on their voice—singers, actors, teachers, counselors, lecturers—and who struggle with vocal nodules , hoarseness , or chronic laryngitis . At Hansarang Korean Medicine Clinic (Daerim-dong, Seoul) , we use this formula to calm throat inflammation, ease throat foreign-body sensation, and help the vocal folds recover their clarity. What the name means: “Hyangseong” & “Pajeok” Hyangseong (響聲) literally suggests “resonant voice,” implying restoration of vocal clarity—not just pain relief. Pajeok (破笛) metaphorically means “breaking the clogged flute,” likening the vocal folds to a wind instrument: when phlegm, edema, or blood stasis obstructs vibration, sound quality suffers. The formula aims to disperse heat , resolve phlegm , and move blood so healthy vibration returns. How it works in Korean Medicine In Korean Medicine, many cases of vocal strain—acute overuse or chronic misuse—map to...

Cheongpye-tang for Chronic Phlegm and Cough At Hansarang Korean Medicine Clinic (Daerim-dong, Seoul) , Cheongpye-tang is used as a traditional herbal prescription for chronic phlegm and chronic cough . It is commonly applied as a natural expectorant and cough-soothing formula. Why Chronic Cough and Phlegm Persist Endless coughing and a throat clogged with phlegm can significantly reduce quality of life. Many people experience persistent respiratory symptoms due to fine dust exposure, recent viral infections (e.g., COVID-19) , or reduced immunity . In Korean medicine, these symptoms are not seen as a simple airway problem only; rather, they are often related to lung heat and phlegm-dampness accumulating in the respiratory system. Cheongpye-tang is a classic formula used to address this pattern. How Cheongpye-tang Works The word “Cheongpye” literally means “to clear the lungs.” In this context, lung “heat” corresponds to an inflammatory-like state that can lead to yellow, stick...
