Ask whether a program provides wellness activities, medical treatment or both. A wellness label does not establish that a treatment is safe for you.
Before booking
- Confirm who provides each service and their role and qualifications.
- Ask whether the package includes acupuncture, herbal products, cupping, heat or manual treatment. Ask about risks and alternatives.
- Give the clinician your medicine and supplement list. Discuss pregnancy, allergies, existing conditions and recent procedures directly with them.
Before taking a herbal product
- Ask for the product name, ingredients, dose and duration in writing.
- Herbal products can interact with medicines. Ask a qualified clinician or pharmacist to review the combination.
- Do not replace prescribed treatment or delay needed medical care because of a wellness package.
Before leaving
- Request a treatment summary, product details and follow-up contact.
- Ask which symptoms require medical attention and whom to contact.
- Check rules for taking products to your next destination. A product’s availability in Korea does not establish import permission elsewhere.
