When you suffer for a long time from an illness that won't heal, not burning out matters as much as the treatment itself.

With a long-standing illness, good days and days that stall come in alternation. If your spirit tires out first during this process, it becomes hard to keep the flow of recovery going.

At every visit, I check together with you the parts that have improved. Even a small change, confirmed with your own eyes, becomes the strength to keep walking the long road of recovery. Don't endure it alone — we just need to set the direction together.

Dr. Heo Ji-young Representative Director · KMD

A graduate of the College of Korean Medicine at Kyung Hee University, with master's and doctoral degrees in pathology — the mechanisms of disease — from its graduate school. Later served as a research professor in the university's Herbology department, studying medicinal substances. Studying both disease and medicine from both sides is the foundation of this practice: explaining "why a given medicine works for a given illness" in the language of both pathology and pharmacology. Explains autonomic, chronic, and intractable conditions — and structural problems of the body — in the language of modern science, and proposes treatment matched to the cause. Has taught prescribing and clinical practice to Korean medicine doctors for over ten years, and is a co-author of "Korean Medicine, Explained by Korean Medicine Doctors," selected for the 2018 Sejong Books list (general category).
