Acupuncture for Children? Yes.
Numerous international studies have demonstrated that it is an effective approach for treating neonatal jaundice and that children can be treated with rapid results for several conditions, including colic, otitis, chronic cough, nocturnal enuresis, hyperactivity and attention disorders, developmental delays in physical or psychomotor function.
Parents around the world have found relief in introducing acupuncture to their children early, sparing themselves many childhood illnesses. Children respond so quickly to acupuncture that the child's complexion often changes dramatically during the treatment itself, and it is usually possible to treat chronic ailments in just a few sessions.
As an effective preventive hygiene measure, Chinese medical tradition strongly encourages you, parents, to have your children treated once a month, from birth. However, there are also critical developmental periods that are particularly receptive to acupuncture treatments. The newborn, the 2-3 year-old child, the 7-8 year-old child, and the 14-16 year-old adolescent are all beings who are both very sensitive and energetically powerful from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). When administered during these crucial periods, acupuncture treatments are then deeply beneficial in the long term, stimulating healthy development and complete actualization of human potential.
An old adage sums it all up: Give your children what is good from the beginning, and they will aspire with firm determination to the good throughout their lives, and this good will manifest through them.
CAN ACUPUNCTURE HELP THE ELDERLY?
Yes. Elderly individuals can often derive great benefits from acupuncture treatments through a clear improvement in systemic circulation, sleep quality, and wakefulness. Patients who have suffered a stroke are strongly encouraged to seek acupuncture treatment as soon as they receive their diagnosis, as it is thus possible to greatly reduce and even completely eliminate the paralysis associated with sequelae.
