Pediatric Medicine
If you are reading this you are most likely familiar with the benefits of Oriental medicine and acupuncture for adults. Pediatric acupuncture and or/Shoni Shin (a light tapping method) is extremely beneficial for babies and children. Pediatrics maintains a special place in the more than 2,000-year-old history of Oriental Medicine. Children may be treated with acupuncture, herbs, Shoni Shin, massage or moxa. Children often respond to treatments much more quickly and positively than adults. The reason for this is fortunately children do not have layering of illness from years of stress, injury and poor diet therefore, a child’s state of health is much less complicated than an adult’s. Some huge advantages of Oriental medicine for children is that it reestablishes a healthy body and mind and can clear illnesses from a child’s system that might otherwise linger or lead to chronic illness in the future. Using Oriental medicine helps the child avoid mainstream medicines, harsh pharmaceutical drugs that have unknown or negative side effect. Oriental medicine is a safe and effective medicine that has been used for thousands of years for both children and adults
