Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) is rooted in a holistic approach to well-being, considering individual constitutions and supporting overall balance.
It shares its foundations with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), incorporating constitutional medicine practices that focus on maintaining harmony within the body.
In TKM, medicinal herbs have been traditionally used to support the body’s natural processes and promote overall health.
Many of these herbs are valued for their ability to nourish, strengthen, and restore balance in response to various needs.

Dr. Ko Seok-Kyu
Dr. Ko Seok-Kyu was born in 1939 in Korea. He was part of the first generation of practitioners who, after the Korean War, inherited the tradition of Korean medicine and continued this lineage of natural healing.
His path to medicine was not a direct one. He first studied English language and literature at Korea University, going on to work as a language scholar and translator. From a young age, however, he suffered from chronic digestive issues and anxiety — ailments that Korean herbal medicine proved remarkably effective in treating. This personal experience kindled a lifelong devotion to herbalism and natural healing.
His work is based on Sasang Constitutional Medicine (SCM), which focuses on an individual’s constitution, considering the state of the body, mind, and emotions as a totality of health. SCM has its roots in Confucian philosophy, emphasizing that human health is deeply interconnected with the environment and society.
For more than 50 years, he has dedicated his life to Korean herbal therapy, helping countless patients.
