Hey! I’m working part-time at a Korean traditional medicine clinic (한의원) near Gyeongbokgung Palace, and I’m kind of curious how foreign visitors feel about it.
If you’ve ever been interested in Korean medicine — like acupuncture, cupping, herbal stuff, etc —you’re welcome to stop by this weekend and look around or even try something small.
I’ll be there to translate (free of course), and you can just ask questions or try a short treatment if you’re up for it. Totally fine if you’re just curious and don’t want anything done.
Some stuff you could try (if you want):
- Getting a herbal prescription based on your body type (good for energy / digestion / immunity / even weight support)
- Cupping (those suction cup things — helps with circulation and muscle tension)
- Acupuncture (super thin needles for stress, pain, fatigue etc — sounds scary but isn’t!)
- Light physical therapy (relaxing machine stuff, nothing intense)
Everything is optional + paid — but again, just coming to check it out is totally okay, no pressure. I’m mostly just there to help explain and chat.
This isn’t a promo or ad — I literally just work here as a part timer and thought some people might be curious. DM me if you’re interested!
