Postpartum body aches and cold sensitivity that ache and sting all over — if you just endure them, they linger.

If you overexert yourself before the joints and ligaments that stretched during childbirth have fully recovered, pain and a chilled feeling can carry on for a long time. Rather than enduring it as "just the way it is," it is important to care for the body together during the recovery period.

  • The joints feel cold and achy
  • You have become especially vulnerable to cold

Managing it in a direction that supports the body's recovering power and revives circulation makes it much easier to get through.

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).
