Adolescence is the most rapid and dramatic stage of growth and development in life. During this period, a teenager's physique, constitution, intelligence, and psychology are in a critical developmental phase. Even minor imbalances can impact lifelong health. Systematic constitutional conditioning not only helps boost immunity and prevent disease but also supports emotional stability, cognitive development, and physical growth.
In TCM, adolescence is viewed as a period where "Yang Qi is rising but Yin and Yang are not yet stable." Because the body and internal organ functions are still maturing, youth are easily affected by environmental stressors, emotional pressure, irregular sleep, and poor diet. These can lead to endocrine imbalances and weakened immune function, triggering various health issues.
