Fumigation Therapy

 

Pyongyang, July 13 (KCNA) — Fumigation therapy is one of the traditional Koryo therapies that have long developed in our country.

It is a remedy using vapor and smoke arising from boiling of Koryo medicines and burning of herbs, and fomenting with decoction.

It has been recognized as an excellent treatment method combined with thermotherapy, diaphoresis and medicinal smoke, which produces no side effect and causes no pains under treatment.

The fumigation therapy was registered as a national intangible cultural heritage in October 2017.
