Q In what order does treatment for digestive weakness proceed?
A Treatment proceeds in three stages: Stage 1 — clearing food stagnation and phlegm-fluid; Stage 2 — restoring Spleen-Stomach function; Stage 3 — strengthening the underlying weak constitution.
Detailed Answer
Dongjedang's pediatric digestive treatment proceeds in stages. Stage 1 begins with prescriptions that help digest and eliminate accumulated food stagnation (Sikyeok) and phlegm-fluid (Dameum). Stage 2 supplements Spleen-Stomach Qi and elevates the digestive function itself. Stage 3 strengthens the overall weak constitution to reduce minor illnesses and support growth.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
Skipping stages and applying tonic prescriptions from the start can cause remaining food stagnation to harden further or produce side effects. Clearing before tonifying is the core principle of Dongjedang's pediatric digestive treatment.
