Beyond simple symptom relief,
Maximizing our body's natural healing abilities
The power of 'placenta therapy' to promote overall health!

There is a saying that no matter how much money you have, if you lose your health, you lose everything.
In particular, we must pay more attention to our health starting in middle age when the risk of developing various adult diseases and cancer increases.
Additionally, there are many middle-aged and older people who suffer from menopausal symptoms, nocturia, urinary incontinence, prostate disease, and various joint diseases such as those in the neck, shoulders, back, and knees.


『Placenta Revolution』 is a book that compiles the lifelong research of Director Hyunwoo Ahn of Gyeyang Danaeum Oriental Medicine Hospital.
It introduces in detail the treatment of various diseases that plague the middle-aged and elderly based on Jahageo, which is considered the best herbal medicine in oriental medicine.
As the author confessed, “I poured my heart into each and every word, thinking of my mother and all mothers in the world,” the book is filled with both affection and meticulousness, as if explaining to a patient right in front of her.

As the recommendation states, “It is expected to provide the most reliable and practical health information to the general public who are greatly interested in their health in daily life, and practical help to expand treatment methods to oriental medicine doctors in clinical settings.” This book is expected to convey the amazing vitality and secrets of healing of Jahageo to those who struggle to endure middle age and old age with an ailing body, and to become a stepping stone to recovering and maintaining health.

The key to fundamental healing of disease lies in the place where our bodies were born, the place full of precious nutrients received from our mothers: the placenta.
The placenta is the purest and most powerful source of nutrition we have experienced since the beginning of life.
The placenta has such a strong vitality that former South Korean national basketball player Seo Jang-hoon confessed on a broadcast, “I tried every method to maintain my stamina as a player, but I ended up getting placenta injections 50 times a year.”
In Oriental medicine, the placenta is called 'jahageo' and is widely used in acupuncture and herbal medicine.

Jahageo, why is it a name that means life?
These three characters, '紫', '河', and '車', respectively mean nobility, vitality, movement, and transmission.
In summary, 'Jahageo' can be seen as symbolizing "the noble life force of the mother being passed on to the fetus like a river flowing through a cart."
Beyond the simple concept of a placenta, the placenta is the embodiment of love and life that a mother conveys to her child.

Royal records attest to the frequent and important use of Jahageo in the treatment of illness and health care of the queen.
This is strong evidence that Jahageo was not simply a medicinal herb handed down from the people, but an ‘official famous medicine’ whose efficacy was verified and trusted by the Naeuiwon, the highest medical institution of the Joseon Dynasty.

While modern medicine views menopause primarily as a factor of decreased female hormones and approaches it through hormone replacement therapy, Oriental medicine views it as a process of systemic change and treats it accordingly.
The various symptoms that appear during menopause are not simply hormonal problems, but are a natural result of the body's overall balance being disrupted and the functions of the internal organs deteriorating as we age.
Therefore, Oriental medicine does not stop at suppressing symptoms, but focuses on finding the root cause and restoring the body's balance.

In Oriental medicine, placenta is classified as a medicinal herb with warm properties.
Therefore, it is known to be more suitable for people who are cold and sensitive to cold, especially those with cold hands and feet or a cold lower abdomen, rather than those who generally have a lot of body heat.
The placenta contains various physiologically active ingredients such as amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, and growth factors, which help activate cell metabolism and improve blood circulation.
As a result, it can help maintain body temperature, boost immunity, and be effective in recovering from fatigue or strengthening overall body functions.

In Oriental medicine, spinal stenosis is not simply viewed as a structural problem of the spine.
Rather, it is considered a systemic result of accumulated circulatory and metabolic imbalances in the body and decline in organ function.
One of the main causes is phlegm and phlegm.
Bile is a pathological product that occurs when the body's water metabolism is not smooth. When bile accumulates, ligaments and surrounding tissues thicken and lose flexibility.
Blood stasis is also an important cause.
Blood stasis refers to poor blood circulation and stagnation, which causes inflammation, hardens tissues, and worsens pain and ligament thickening.

As a result of consistent treatment and exercise, the pain began to gradually decrease after about a month, and after two months, the pain was reduced by more than 80%.
Bending and straightening my knees has become much smoother, and the tingling and stinging sensation when going down stairs has almost disappeared.
The patient said, “At first, I thought there was no other way than surgery, but now I can go about my daily life without any problems and even take light walks, so I am very satisfied.”
Not all meniscus tears require surgery.
In cases of early or partial rupture, non-surgical treatment and lifestyle changes alone can lead to sufficient improvement, as in the case of the patient.
However, consistent management and moderate exercise must be combined.
