Q What should we do to keep growing pains from recurring?
A Periodically replenishing kidney energy during periods of active growth can greatly reduce the frequency of recurrence.
Detailed Answer
Growing pains are difficult to prevent completely until growth is finished. However, taking herbal medicine in advance to replenish kidney energy during periods of rapid growth (winter break, spring) can greatly reduce the frequency and intensity of recurrence. In daily life, regular sleep, a balanced diet, and avoiding excessive exercise are the basics.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
To prevent recurrence, it's efficient to take tonic herbal medicine intensively once or twice a year during periods of active growth. Managing your child consistently as they grow lets you experience improvement not only in growing pains but also in overall stamina and immunity.
