Q Will Korean medicine treatment hinder my child's growth?
A Formulas that nourish Kidney Yin do not interfere with growth hormone secretion and may actually support bone health.
Detailed Answer
Key ingredients in Jibak-jihwang-tang — Prepared Rehmannia (sukjihwang, 熟地黃) and Cornelian Cherry (sansuyu, 山茹薄) — tonify the Liver and Kidney (肝腎), which has a positive effect on bone and muscle development. It is important to understand that the goal of precocious puberty treatment is not to stop growth but to suppress the excessive early activation of sex hormones.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we compare height growth rates before and after treatment to regularly confirm that growth is not being inhibited. We use prescription combinations designed to simultaneously suppress precocious puberty and promote height growth.
