Q How long does herbal medicine treatment for night crying usually take?
A It varies with symptom severity, but a 4 to 8 week course is the standard baseline, and treatment is sometimes extended to constitutional improvement to prevent recurrence.
Detailed Answer
The duration of Korean medicine treatment for night crying depends on the child's age, how long symptoms have persisted, and the underlying pattern.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
When detected early and treatment begins promptly, symptoms often improve within 4 weeks. If symptoms are long-standing or linked to a constitutional weakness, treatment is given for 8 to 12 weeks or more while strengthening both Heart and Spleen-Stomach function. Combining the treatment with improvements to the sleep environment and the establishment of a bedtime routine helps shorten the treatment period.
