A surge in cases of precocious puberty was reported in many countries after the COVID-19 pandemic began, raising a need for effective treatment. Some Traditional Korean Medicine (TKM) doctors say that herbal medicine is safe and effective in treating this disorder.

Precocious puberty refers to the early onset of a child’s physical transition to adulthood, that is, puberty. The onset of puberty before the age of 8 in girls and age 9 in boys is considered precocious puberty.
