Yukmijihwangtang (YJT), a traditional Korean formulation, has long been used to treat symptoms of kidney yin deficiency, including having short stature. In a study published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Korean scientists looked into the treatment’s effectiveness in stimulating longitudinal bone growth in rat models.
Their findings led the researchers to conclude that YJT can be used as a therapeutic candidate for treating growth retardation during adolescence.
