In oriental medicine, the key to growth is a pair of healthy kidneys. This is because bone development, which is essential for physical growth, is supervised by the kidneys. Long-term administration of the decocted oriental medicine called Sinjugol Pyunkangtang enables the full bone growth.

Pyunkangtang is based on the Geumsaengsu (water comes from metal ) principle of oriental medicine, i.e., the lungs are the parent organs of the kidney, and the energy emanating from the lungs helps strengthen the kidneys.Therefore, preventing colds through immune systems strengthened by Pyunkangtang ensures secures sufficient number of days for healthy growth. On the other hand, improved kidney function directly aids in bone growth for overall physical growth.

Cold is a common disease afflicting 90 out of 100 persons at least once a year. Children with poor immune systems frequently suffer from colds and for longer periods of time. Whereas adults usually overcome colds within 2~3 days of treatment, children may require longer treatment period, often more than 10 days. Sometimes, the cold even lasts for for 2-3 months.

When children suffer from colds, they do not eat well because of appetite loss. This is because they hardly have energy left to eat and digest food after battling with cold symptoms. Sometimes, they break into cold sweat and feel unusually lethargic.

Children with weak immune systems are prone to colds. They consume the energy that should have been used for their growth while suffering from colds. According to a report, children lose two weeks of growth period whenever they suffer from colds. Therefore, a child’s growth is partially dependent on the prevention of colds.Indeed, colds prevention is one of the most important factors in realizing the full growth potential of children.

When children catch colds, the condition of their bodies deteriorates,, since both the respiratory and digestive organs are also affected.

Green and watery stool is a common symptom accompanying children’s colds. Cold-stricken children suffer from irregular bowel discharge and hardly eat well due to indigestion, sometimes even vomiting. They also sweat more than usual due to poor sweat control. Respiratory symptoms of a cold include sneezing, cough, sniffling, and phlegm, sometimes even accompanied by fever, restlessness, listlessness, and poor appetite.
