Background of development (illustration): Development of Pyunkang-Hwan



The pain from tonsillitis, which seemed like a divine punishment

I constantly suffered from tonsillitis when I was a child. There were many times I couldn’t play with my friends because I was bed-ridden, and I spent many sleepless nights due to high fever. This was probably one of the reasons I decided to study Korean Medicine in university and made endless efforts to find treatment for tonsillitis. However, the conventional medicinal herbs and treatment methods only mitigated the symptoms and did not cure the disease completely. I was disheartened thinking, ‘How can I treat others when I can’t even treat my own condition?’





Pyunkang-Hwan, developed by studying the root cause

After graduating from university, my journey toward finding the perfect treatment for tonsillitis began in full swing. I examined a wide range of medicinal herbs, eating them raw and crushing, boiling, decocting and burning them for my research. Whenever I faced challenges, I sought information in medical books and even applied popular folk remedies. There were many nights when I woke up in the middle of my sleep to continue on with my research.

Once, after hearing that frying a centipede called “ogong” and spraying it directly on the tonsils can improve tonsillitis, I tried it at home and it caused an unpleasant odor that stuck around for days.

There was a time when I thought pinellia would be effective, so I drank a medicinal fluid containing highly concentrated pinellia as an experiment. The concentration must have been too high because I sustained sores inside my mouth and could not eat for three days.

During my research and experiments, I learned the close relationship between the lungs and atopic dermatitis, asthma, rhinitis and tonsillitis, and this realization led to the development of Pyunkang-Hwan. Through many clinical trials, Pyunkang-Hwan was used to treat many diseases arising from a respiratory system problem and was shown to be effective in treating other diseases by improving the health of the lungs.

Since its development, Pyunkang-Hwan has quickly emerged as an outstanding medicine for treatment of various diseases. A woman, who wanted to commit suicide after suffering from atopy for nearly 40 years, took Pyunkang-Hwan and re-gained her flawless complexion. A table tennis player who had been in a slump due to rhinitis became fully cured and achieved an excellent result at an international table tennis competition. A salary man, who constantly had to take sick leaves due to frequent colds, and a pastor, who suffered from vocal fold nodules and sinusitis, opened a new chapter in their lives thanks to Pyunkang-Hwan, which helped cure their conditions. It was rewarding for me as the developer of Pyunkang-Hwan to hear these stories, and I became more convinced of its benefits and efficacy.


Calling and faith as a Korean medicine doctor

“Just as there is a saying that you can turn evils into blessings, I am actually grateful to have suffered from tonsillitis in childhood as this unfortunate experience has helped me develop Pyunkang-Hwan and help countless people. I am also determined to spread the treatment principles of Pyunkang-Hwan, which reinforces the lung function to eliminate the root cause of the common cold, rhinitis and bronchitis, and help treat people suffering from various diseases around the world.

I am not claiming that Pyunkang-Hwan is a medicine that can cure every disease and illness, and just because you take it, it doesn’t guarantee that you’ll get better. It is a medicine that helps eliminate the root cause of various diseases for improved health, and there are bound to be challenges and obstacles in the process of treatment. However, if you believe in the efficacy of Pyunkang-Hwan, which has been proven during the 40 years of clinical research, with patience and faith, you will regain better health just like our former patients.
