In the following case study, Jiang, a 63-year-old woman who walked into a Korean hospital with a flushed face, had woken from sleep suddenly as if she was in shock after about 30 minutes of slumber. When she tried to go back to sleep she felt as though she was in the ground and was gasping for air. She also had other ongoing symptoms including fatigue, depression, restless heartbeat, headache, choking sensation in her chest, irritability, sensitivity to heat, and indigestion.
Her nerves were so sensitive that she could feel the vibrations of flying mosquitoes. Her sensitivities were such that if she so much as thought of a bathroom, she would develop symptoms of bladder inflammation such as the frequent and urgent need to urinate.As a result of these symptoms, Jiang was hospitalized for depression and panic disorder for two years and received Western medicine treatment. However, instead of getting better, she began to suffer from insomnia and trance. She then turned to the DongGuTong Oriental Medical Clinic in South Korea.
