I studied with Soma Glick, L. Ac. A renowned pediatric acupuncturist. I have been practicing shonishin, a Japanese form of pediatric acupressure that uses special acupressure tools for 22 years. Children’s energy changes very quickly and they often do not require needles to get quick and lasting results.
When needles are required they are inserted quickly and only retained for a few minutes. Children often find the treatment relaxing and painless. Chinese herbal medicines are safe alternatives to western medications. There are pediatric tinctures to treat every condition from allergies to constipation.
Children often respond quickly to herbal tinctures and get lasting results.
