Children particularly benefit from the methods of Chinese medicine.
Their bodies are not exposed to chemical substances that the liver cannot break down in infancy.

When can children be treated with Chinese medicine methods?

If the energy cycle is out of balance, children primarily experience the following illnesses, which can be treated very effectively with the various methods of Chinese medicine:

• Headaches
• Allergies
• Stomach aches
• Respiratory infections
• Sleep problems
• Atopic dermatitis
• Colds

Psychosomatic illnesses such as school problems or behavioral problems can also be treated with this oldest form of alternative medicine by harmonizing the energy balance.

When Chinese medicine is used on children, treatment begins, as with adults, with a tongue and pulse diagnosis, which can be used to determine the child’s constitutional type. If yin and yang are imbalanced, different measures are needed to influence the energy as required.

Needles or Laser

Acupuncture treatment stimulates the flow of Qi and stimulates the body’s self-healing powers. Babies and toddlers are treated with laser technology. Acupuncture needles are only used for older children, provided the child consents. Laser acupuncture is completely painless. The affected areas are only stimulated briefly, as the energy in a child’s body responds very quickly to this treatment.

Alternatively, Japanese pediatric acupuncture, known as Shonishin, can be used, which also works without needles.

Nutrition and Touch

Some children respond very positively to Tuina massage. This manual technique is performed with pressing and pulling hand movements and works right down to the body’s energy pathways.

At the same time, Chinese medicine places particular emphasis on a diet specifically tailored to the corresponding constitutional type. Temperament, the home situation, growth phases, and one’s own inner world create a unique energetic, chemical, and psychological interplay. Imbalances can be positively influenced through constitutional nutrition. What at first glance looks like a diet is actually a diet that treats states of excess and deficiency in the body, taking the Five Elements theory into account.

Recharge Inner Strength

Restless children who have difficulty concentrating benefit from Qi Gong and Tai Chi in Chinese medicine. These movement practices bring attention from the external senses back to the inner self, thus enabling contact with one’s own energy flow.

The more mindfully the exercises are performed, the calmer the organism becomes. This way, children learn to redirect their energy and use it wisely.

When it comes to deep healing of underlying causes, Chinese medicine is always a good choice for children. Its treatment methods have a gentle effect and no side effects.
