A review of a child's sleep problems solved at Neunggok Jeil Oriental Medical Clinic in Siheung City.

My 25-month-old child had trouble sleeping deeply and woke up frequently at night, so I went to a Korean medicine clinic for consultation. He was active during the day, but at night, he would often wake up tossing and turning, crying, and it was incredibly difficult for both parents and the child. From the initial consultation, they asked detailed questions about my child's sleep patterns, nap times, and eating habits, which made me feel like they were looking at more than just sleep issues, but also my child's overall constitution.
The director explained that my child's nervous system is still sensitive, and that balancing the autonomic nervous system is crucial. He reassured me that he wanted to use a gentler approach rather than harsh treatments. He combined pediatric acupuncture, which involved brief stimulation of the hands and feet, with gentle moxibustion, focusing on the abdomen and back. The treatment was so gentle that my child didn't even cry, and I felt reassured the entire time I was watching.
They also prescribed herbal medicine in syrup form to help with sleep. It was mild and my child enjoyed it without any resistance. They also provided detailed instructions on how to perform massages at home and a bedtime routine, making it easy to manage. After about a week of treatment, the number of nighttime awakenings decreased significantly, and sleep became much more comfortable. They didn't over-recommend medication or treatment, but rather tailored it to my child's condition, which gave me greater confidence than other clinics. Perhaps because they have extensive experience treating children, they were also very understanding of the parents' perspective, which was also satisfying.
