Can Panic Disorder Herbal Medicine and Western Medicine Be Taken Together A Wise Way to Overcome Anxiety

"I feel like my heart is racing and I'm going to die..." This is the cry of many suffering from panic disorder. When you visit a hospital, you're usually prescribed western medicine, leading to questions like "Can I take herbal medicine together?" or "Are there other treatments?" 💡 **Key Answer** 3 common concerns about combining treatments: ① Interaction between medicines ② Maximizing treatment effects ③ Reducing side effects Dalimchae Clinic aims to stabilize the autonomic nervous system to achieve synergy with western medicine and reduce drug dependency. ## Why Panic Attacks Happen Panic disorder is related to abnormal responses of the autonomic nervous system. When the sympathetic nervous system is overactive due to stress or fatigue, symptoms like rapid heartbeat and difficulty breathing occur. ## Combining Herbal and Western Medicine Herbal medicine can be a great alternative or supplement. Research in 2024 (Healthcare Basel) showed significant reduction (p\<0.0001) in anxiety, depression, and anger after 4 weeks of Korean medicine treatment. It helps regulate the brain's over-arousal and restore balance. ## Treatment Principles at Dalimchae We treat the "overheated engine" of the brain by cooling down the nervous system and restoring balance (Su-seung-hwa-gang). Herbal medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion work together to stabilize the autonomic system. ### Checklist Check if you have 3 or more: - Sudden intense fear (Panic attack) - Racing heart - Shortness of breath - Chest pain - Dizziness - Numbness or trembling - Chills or heat - Derealization - Fear of losing control - Fear of dying --- Dalimchae Clinic provides personalized treatment for autonomic stability and fundamental recovery. **Medicinal herbs are indeed, Dalimchae.**
