The Korean Clinic primarily focuses on acupuncture treatment from Korea. Global doctors dispatched by KOICA (Korea International Cooperation Agency) and doctors from Ayurvedic hospitals are providing acupuncture and physiotherapy services. Since many patients in Sri Lanka are not yet familiar with Korean acupuncture treatment, we created a video to raise awareness. Acupuncture, which involves placing needles on the body's surface, can help with musculoskeletal issues as well as internal organs, the nervous system, and hormones, allowing us to treat internal medical conditions as well.
If Korean herbal medicine is used in conjunction with acupuncture treatment, it can maximize the therapeutic effects. However, due to customs clearance and other issues, it is challenging to use Korean herbal medicine here. Therefore, we are considering integrating Ayurvedic herbs in the future.
Unlike the side effects often associated with Western medicine, acupuncture and herbal medicine provide comprehensive and fundamental healing for the body. As a result, overall health improvement can lead to the simultaneous alleviation of symptoms that were not specifically addressed. Korean Medicine (KM) and Ayurveda have a deep-rooted history and offer excellent approaches to promoting fundamental bodily recovery. While they may not be able to improve all symptoms, especially in cases requiring surgery or during emergencies, acupuncture treatment can be the best option when there hasn't been significant change in one's constitution and the body's self-healing capabilities are still intact.
One patient with Parkinson's disease, for example, had no improvement with other treatments, but has seen improvements in their symptoms through acupuncture therapy.
In the process of filming and editing the video, received assistance from interpreter Mr. Ranmini Sachin Prabash De Silva.
