Q Can elderly people or children take Sipjeondaebo-tang?
A Sipjeondaebo-tang suits Qi-Blood deficiency and weak constitution common in the elderly. For children, the herbal composition and dosage must be adjusted according to age and constitution, and prescription should always follow pulse diagnosis.
Detailed Answer
Elderly people often have Qi-Blood depletion from natural aging, so Sipjeondaebo-tang often suits them well. However, elderly patients with significantly weakened digestion should start with small amounts. Children require a different herbal composition and dosage than adults, so it is safest to have a pediatric-specialized Korean medicine doctor prescribe after pulse diagnosis.
