As a holistic medicine clinic directed by Dr. Hogun Jou, a dedicated oriental medicine practitioner, Dr. Jou's clinic receive international patients as well as foreigners living in Korea. Dr. Jou, specialized in oriental medicine for more than 20 years in South Korea, has cured hundreds of patients with high blood pressure(hypertension). Most patients with high blood pressure who go to conventional medicine have to rely on prescription drugs for the rest of their lives, which may cause more or less of potential side effects.

The integrative medicine we provide for patients uses a variety of natural resources which come from alternative and oriental medicine. Through specific clinical research for more than twenty years, we are able to achieve maximal results and optimal health from the unique blend of alternative and oriental medicine, meeting the needs of hypertensive patients looking for natural remedies.

If you has high blood pressure (hypertension), what you do first is to go to your family doctor who will give you a prescription drug. When using prescription drugs, doctors usually prescribe them at the first sign of blood pressure as high as or even lower than 140/90mmHg. This is not reasonable because unfortunately most of these drugs have potentials for many negative side effects including fatigue, dizziness, depression, loss of concentration, impotence, liver damage and more. Drugs usually block the normal functions of enzymes, hormones and other physiologic substances, a phenomenen that never happens in nature. The problem is that the rough and compulsory inhibition of normal functions may leave side effects, sometimes causes hypertension-related heart disease and may impair memory capabilities and sex drives or on many occasions unnecessarily increases blood fat levels.

On the other hand, natural therapy we provide doesn't use any unnatural method but only utilize food supplements, natural herbs and natural nutritions in a way that doen't interfere with but help the normal functions of the body. The longer clients are with natural therapies, the better they feel. They not only experience their blood pressure drop to normal but also find themselves filled with youth and energy. They can now endure more labors and emotional stresses than ever before and can enjoy happier and more active lives.

Food modification and food supplements or natural herbs are all that you have to take to treat your hypertension. Some clients take less than two months to be completely free of high blood pressure while on most occasions three to six months of therapy are indicated to attain perfect healing.

We use reliable and credible natural methods, which have been proved to be effective by scientific and medical researches throughout the world. We don't accept any measures not proved by science. For example, garlics, Korean ginseng, vitamin C, Vitamin E, minerals like calcium and magnesium and healthful oils like omega-three oils are few examples that we use to cure high blood pressure. These food substances and others that we use have already long been identified as being effective in lowering blood pressure. Appropriately blended, they can bring us wonderful results.

■ address the underlying conditions-> Conventional doctors explain that there is no cause in the high blood pressure. With this explanation given, patients are forced to rely on blood pressure drugs for their lives. However, other medical specialists have found that toxic substances such as cadmium, metabolic imbalance such as syndrome X and the shortage of other essential nutrients such as nitric oxide or calcium and magnesium certainly contribute to the development of hypertension. The important thing is that these imbalances can be normalized in the scientifically proven, natural way.

■ We use anti-aging process-> Hypertension is an aging process of blood vessels. Hypertension come into existence not because of the shortage of substances of anti-hypertensive drugs in the body, but rather from depletions of nutrients that play the anti-aging activity. For this reason, it makes sense that we use the anti-aging process of blood vessels other than synthetic medications.

■ We restore nutrient balances-> Scientific researches now make it clear that imbalances or shortage of essential micro nutrients like vitamines and minerals play a part in the development of hypertension. By balancing them out, we are ready to make the blood pressure normalized and maintain the lasting normal level after the treatment is over.

■ Treatment ends up in a relatively short time-> In conventional medicine, you have to be with drugs for the rest of your life. On the other hand, we provide the natural therapy that is going to take months, a short period of time when compared to dozens of years. After finishing the treatment session, you will be surprised that  your blood pressure level is always in the normal range without any medications.
