Hanbang, otherwise known as traditional Korean medicine, has been around since prehistoric times and is still practiced in the present day. It's a significant part of the Korean culture and some major health beliefs unique to Korea are based on Hanbang. To simply put it, Hanbang diagnosis is based on a person's Sasang body constitution, which is their anatomical structure, temperament, and other physical attributes. Hanyak, a drinkable medicine made of traditional herbs, is prescribed according to the patient's Sasang along with other treatments like acupuncture. In this post, we are going to introduce a tour where you can get your Sasang checked, get hanyak prescribed, and do other Hanbang activities in Daegu!
