Perspective of a Traditional Korean Medicine Clinic
For the Heart Qi Deficiency type, herbal prescriptions that nourish both the mind and the spleen-stomach are utilized, while for the Heart Heat type, herbal medicines that reduce heart heat are used. For the Spleen-Stomach Disharmony type, herbal medicines that regulate phlegm in the body to aid digestive function are used. Generally, after 2 to 4 weeks of treatment, the frequency of night crying tends to decrease, and the quality of sleep tends to improve. However, it is important to first differentiate other causes, such as anxiety, abdominal pain, or hunger.
