Q Can Korean medicine treatment really help a child with ADHD?
A Korean medicine approaches ADHD by reducing hyperactivity, easing impulsivity, and improving sleep. It can be used alongside conventional medication or as a standalone treatment.
Detailed Answer
Rather than directly suppressing the nervous system, Korean medicine works by calming Heart Qi and Kidney Qi and removing Phlegm-Dampness to improve the brain environment. Clinically, reductions in hyperactivity and impulsivity as well as sleep stabilization have been observed. Evaluating improvements in academic performance realistically requires several months of treatment.
