New Semester Syndrome

Pediatric herbal medicine does not use the exact same prescriptions as those for adults. The dosage and ingredients are adjusted to reflect the child's weight, age, digestive function, and constitution. Herbal medicines primarily used to treat New School Year Syndrome—such as those designed to warm the stomach and relieve discomfort by improving Qi circulation—are mainly composed of ingredients that strengthen the spleen and stomach and promote the flow of liver Qi, and they contain no toxic components that hinder growth. However, it is necessary to identify and exclude any cases where the child has an allergic reaction to specific herbal ingredients. Dongjedang enhances safety for pediatric patients by adjusting the dosage after confirming the reaction during the initial prescription. If digestive issues, skin reactions, or changes in sleep occur after administration, please inform us immediately so we can modify the prescription. In addition to herbal medicine, non-pharmacological treatments such as acupuncture and pediatric pharmacopuncture can be combined, allowing for sufficient efficacy while minimizing medication intake.
