Yakchim

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of traditional Korean medicine? It's a way of healing the body that has been around for a very long time. One part of traditional Korean medicine is using herbs and plants to make medicines, and that's where yakchim comes in. Yakchim is the Korean word for a type of medicine that is made by boiling these herbs and plants in water to extract their healing properties.

Think of it like making tea, but instead of using tea leaves, we use different herbs and plants to make medicine! The medicine that's made from yakchim can help with all kinds of things, like relieving pain, boosting the immune system, and helping to calm down a cough or other sickness. And because it's made from natural ingredients, it's a very healthy way to take care of our bodies.

So when someone in Korea goes to the doctor for traditional medicine, they might be given some yakchim to take at home. It might not taste as yummy as your favorite juice, but it's doing good things for your body!
