Q Can herbal medicine actually slow the progression of precocious puberty?
A Formulas that nourish Kidney Yin and clear deficiency-heat help moderate the premature stimulation of the sex-hormone axis.
Detailed Answer
Jibak-jihwang-tang (知柏地黃湯), the representative formula for nourishing Kidney Yin and clearing deficiency-heat, has been reported in studies to indirectly suppress early activation of the gonadotropin axis. Earlier treatment yields better results.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we assess the degree of Kidney Yin deficiency by reviewing bone-age X-ray results alongside body type, then adjust prescription intensity accordingly. With consistent use over six months or more, bone maturation speed often stabilizes.
