Q Can an exam-candidate tonic affect growth? I'm worried about precocious puberty.
A Exam-candidate tonics do not use herbs that directly affect sex hormones. After confirming your constitution through pulse diagnosis, you can take the prescription safely without worrying about precocious puberty.
Detailed Answer
The main herbs in exam-candidate memory tonics (Acorus, Polygala, Poria with Pine, Astragalus, Ginseng) have no direct relation to sex hormones. Concerns about precocious puberty mainly arise from health supplements rich in phytoestrogens or excessive tonic use unsuited to one's constitution. After a pulse diagnosis and personalized prescription, you can take the tonic safely without such concerns.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
At Dongjedang Korean Medicine Clinic, we also check developmental status when prescribing for exam candidates. If there are signs of precocious puberty, we reflect that in the prescription to keep it safe.
