"Doctor, my atopic dermatitis
is driving me crazy
the itching."

"I’ve tried getting treatment
at various places,
but nothing has worked."

This patient asked,
“I’ve been on various treatments
for atopic dermatitis for 5 years,
but why isn’t it working?”

It's heartbreaking
to hear the question
from a patient
living in daily despair.

This child has had
atopic dermatitis since birth.
The symptoms improved
with a steroid ointment
prescribed by a local clinic,
but worsened again
after stopping it — a cycle
that kept repeating over time.

At first, the symptoms of
atopic dermatitis were confined
to the inner elbows
and behind the knees,
but over time, they gradually
spread to other parts of the body.

So the patient went to several
university hospitals for treatment,
but as you can see in the photo,
the atopic symptoms worsened.

The child’s father asked me,
“Will my child’s
atopic dermatitis ever be cured?”
I answered,
“Your child’s condition
is quite severe,
but I will do my very best.”

What happened to this child
with atopic dermatitis afterwards?
Was the condition ever cured?

This adult patient
also had atopic dermatitis
since childhood.

Despite undergoing
various treatments
over 26 years,
the condition worsened
and spread throughout
the entire body,
as seen in the photo.

The patient’s mother asked me,
“Doctor, can it be treated?”
I answered,
“Your daughter has
very severe atopic dermatitis,
but we will do
everything we can.”

What happened to this
patient after that?
Was she cured?

"Doctor, can my atopic dermatitis
really be cured?"

This is the most common question
from our atopic dermatitis patients.

It would be more helpful
for patients to watch interviews
with other atopic dermatitis patients
than for me to answer
this question directly.

I would like to
take this opportunity
to express my sincere
gratitude to these patients,
who participated in the filming
hoping to help others
with atopic dermatitis.

HM Korean Medicine Clinic
is trusted by a diverse
range of patients from both
Korea and around the world.

So what is the reason
people come to HM Clinic,
even from distant and
unfamiliar countries?

"atopic dermatitis takes a
greater toll
on the heart and mind
than it does on the skin."

HM Medical Clinic is committed
to creating a world
without atopic dermatitis.

Then, let's take a look
at the treatment progress of the
atopic dermatitis patients above.

This photo was taken after
15 months of treatment with HM-V.

You can see that the
severe atopic symptoms,
which had previously
spread across the body,
have subsided, and the skin
has returned to a
healthy and normal condition.

To prevent recurrence,
the patients received
additional treatment
for approximately one year.

Recently, I received a message
of gratitude from the
patient's parents, saying
that the patient
has been doing well
and staying healthy.

When patients
with atopic dermatitis
visit us for the first time,
this is the question
I always ask first:

"In order to be healthy,
does our blood need
to be clean or dirty?"

Most patients respond,
“It should be clean.”

This time,
I rephrase the question slightly
and ask it like this:

"In order to treat atopic dermatitis,
do you think the blood
needs to be clean or dirty?"

Again this time,
most patients respond,
“It should be clean.”

Most atopic dermatitis patients
may not be doctors,
but they instinctively know
that clean blood
is essential for good health.

Now, let’s take a closer look
at the relationship between
blood and atopic dermatitis.

Next, we’ll look at the
blood of a patient
who showed improvement
in their skin disease
after treatment at our hospital.

Unlike the atopic dermatitis patients
described earlier,
this patient’s blood shows
round-shaped red blood cells
and clear plasma.

Why is the blood of
atopic dermatitis patients
not as clean as
that of healthy individuals?

Then, let’s take a look
at some of the more
unusual blood videos
from skin patients
who visited HM Clinic.

Most atopic dermatitis patients
are shocked when they see
these blood images.

They come to understand that
clean blood is essential
for good health—
and that atopic dermatitis
can only be treated
when the blood is clean.

In healthy individuals,
the colon contains
many beneficial
lactic acid bacteria
and few harmful
putrefactive bacteria.

However, in patients,
the colon is often dominated
by putrefactive bacteria.

These bacteria cause food
to decay and produce toxins,
which are referred to as intestinal toxins.

The large intestine of
a healthy individual
hosts a variety of
microorganisms—including
bacteria, viruses, fungi, and yeast—
that play important
physiological roles such as
aiding digestion,
regulating immunity, and
facilitating nutrient absorption.

Lactobacillus helps
ferment dietary fiber,
while Bacteroides and Prevotella
break down polysaccharides and
regulate the immune system.

Bifidobacterium contributes
to stabilizing
the intestinal environment,
promoting the growth of
beneficial bacteria,
and enhancing immune function.

These intestinal bacteria
help prevent pathogenic infections
by inhibiting harmful microbes
from colonizing the colon,
strengthen the tight junctions of
intestinal epithelial cells,
block the penetration of toxins
and pathogens through
the intestinal barrier,
purify the blood, and
contribute to
maintaining healthy skin.

In the colons of
atopic dermatitis patients,
beneficial bacteria such as
Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus
are significantly reduced.

As a result,
the microbial diversity in the colon
is significantly reduced,
while harmful bacteria
such as Clostridium difficile
and Staphylococcus increase.

These harmful bacteria
produce substances such as LPS,
which promote
inflammatory responses
and worsen atopic dermatitis
through the bloodstream.

The detoxification treatment
at HM Clinic improves
the intestinal environment
to promote colon detox,

supports liver detoxification
by enhancing liver function,

purifies the blood by
eliminating blood toxin,

and removes
inflammatory substances
from the skin
to aid in skin detox.

HM-V is prescribed by HM clinic team
as a personalized treatment,
tailored 1:1 to the type and
severity of the patient’s
atopic dermatitis symptoms.

Here are some of the
medicinal plants
included in HM-V.

These medicinal ingredients help
detoxify toxins from the
liver, colon, blood, and skin.
Their powerful
anti-inflammatory effects
help reduce skin inflammation
and support the treatment of
atopic dermatitis.

All herbal ingredients
used at HM Clinic
are sourced exclusively from
suppliers certified with HGMP,
the Korean Ministry of
Food and Drug Safety’s standard
for Good Manufacturing and
Quality Control Practices
for herbal medicine,
to ensure safe and
reliable treatment.
