Children's growth
Eating well, sleeping well, and growing well. We look after the overall condition of children who are picky eaters, children who sleep poorly because of rhinitis and allergies, and children whose height growth is a concern.
- Poor appetite
- Rhinitis · Allergies
- Height growth consultation
- Early puberty care
- Children's deer antler velvet jelly
- Frequent colds
Consider a consultation if you have symptoms like these
- Your child does not eat well and is very picky
- Your child often has a blocked nose and sleeps with their mouth open
- Your child catches colds often, and they last a long time
- You are worried because your child is shorter than their peers
- Signs of puberty seem to be appearing earlier than in their peers
- Your child has trouble falling asleep or wakes up often at night
To grow well, children first need to eat well and sleep well
Nutrition, sleep, and activity all affect a child's growth. If a child does not eat well, cannot sleep deeply because of a blocked nose, or loses stamina from getting sick often, growth can be affected too.
At Woorimbon Korean Medicine Clinic, we check your child's constitution, daily habits, and growth, and prescribe herbal medicine that helps with appetite, digestion, breathing, and sleep. For children who find bitter herbal medicine hard to take, we also prescribe it as deer antler velvet jelly.

Frequently asked questions
QFrom what age can children take herbal medicine?
We adjust the dose to your child's age and weight. We will let you know whether a prescription is possible after an examination.
QWill deer antler velvet make my child taller?
Deer antler velvet is an herbal ingredient long used to replenish energy in growing children. Height is influenced by many factors, including genetics, nutrition, and sleep, so a prescription suited to your child's condition and good daily habits are both needed.
