Q Is herbal medicine safe for a growing child?
A We adjust the strength of the prescription to suit the child's constitution, so it does not affect growth.
Detailed Answer
Herbal medicine prescribed for children is not the same as that for adults. The types and dosages of herbs are adjusted to the child's age, weight, and digestive condition so that there is no burden on growth and development.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Formulas that clear phlegm and harmonize the digestive system actually support digestion and absorption, so they can have a positive effect on growth.
