Unlike conventional medicine, where you depend entirely on the doctor’s direction, you are part of your health solution in TCM.  Pediatrics in TCM looks at treating children in four ways

– through proper diet,

– herbal medicines,

– Chinese massage (Tui Na) and

– acupuncture. 

– Your child will also be expected to learn how to handle stress and to regularly exercise.

 

You will find that most children like the TCM sessions like Tui Na massage or acupuncture.  The needles are incredibly thin now and insertion can barely be felt.  Sometimes Chinese Herbal medicines for your children are burnt near the child during these sessions.  Don’t be alarmed.  These burning herbs will not be put on the child.  They seem to activate the emotions and self-esteem of the child to help give their natural immune system a boost.

 

As you can see it is not just a question of taking a prescription to cure the ailment but rather  a complete system to transform the body back to  natural balance.
