Q How does Dongjedang's childhood constipation treatment proceed?
A It proceeds in 3 stages: strengthening digestion, replenishing body fluids, and activating peristalsis. We also support forming bowel habits.
Detailed Answer
Dongjedang's 3-stage childhood constipation treatment: Stage 1 (2-4 weeks): eliminating intestinal waste and relieving tension. Stage 2 (1-2 months): strengthening digestive function and replenishing body fluids to improve stool consistency. Stage 3 (maintenance): forming regular bowel habits and preventing recurrence. We combine this with dietary guidance and toilet training coaching.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At each stage, we adjust the prescription based on bowel diary data. Flexibly adjusting treatment intensity to match the child's growth rate is Dongjedang's approach.
