Q How does Korean medicine treatment for brain development and ADHD progress step by step?
A Treatment generally proceeds in three phases: stabilization of the nervous system, consolidation of brain nourishment, and maintenance and prevention of recurrence.
Detailed Answer
In the initial phase (approximately the first 1–2 months), the focus is on reducing hyperactivity, impulsivity, and sleep disturbances while stabilizing the nervous system. In the intermediate phase (2–4 months), Kidney Qi and Heart Qi are replenished to lay a foundation for brain nourishment, and concentration and learning ability are gradually strengthened. In the maintenance phase (4 months onward), the prescription is adjusted to the child's response, and lifestyle habits are refined to sustain improvements long-term.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, we reassess progress at each visit and revise the prescription to match the child's changing state. We discuss the treatment timeline openly with parents and set realistic milestones together.
