Muju County is operating the '4060 Traditional Medicine Health Class' to promote the health of its residents. This program, which started on the 11th and will run until the 25th, is being held at the Health Promotion Center of Muju Health and Medical Center, and is designed to prevent the increasing chronic diseases due to aging and changes in lifestyle habits.
Participants can receive services such as traditional medicine treatment and prescription based on individual symptoms, basic health check-ups including blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol measurements, as well as access to a mobile smoking cessation clinic. One resident shared their impression, saying, "I received counseling and acupuncture for knee and back pain, and learned about lifestyle habits and exercise methods, which was a great help."
Furthermore, on the 12th, a preventive education program called 'Filling the Temperature and Fragrance of the Heart' was held for around 40 practitioners from child and adolescent-related organizations. This program, aimed at emotional recovery through aromatherapy, meditation, and custom perfume making, was well-received by participants, with one saying, "It was a meaningful time to heal the mind with fragrance and reflect on oneself."
Muju County plans to continue expanding the environment for practicing healthy living through tailored health programs for residents, focusing on chronic disease management, cognitive enhancement, and mental health promotion.
