Acupuncture for Kids
Most childhood disorders (from colic to teething to asthma) respond very well to acupuncture.
In order to diagnose accurately, the Acupuncturist interviews the patient about their health complaint and their relevant history. They also feel the pulse and examine the tongue. Following this interview a few acupuncture needles will be inserted along the relevant meridians. The client is asked to lie down for 20 to 40 minutes. In most cases a treatment lasts approximately one hour. A follow up appointment is scheduled depending on the patient's condition. As in any other form of healing, there is not a magic cure or a golden point that instantly will transform your condition and ailment. Patience and persistency are the keys for success. Be well and stay healthy.
Fertility
most practicing acupuncturists say that acupuncture helps by regulating your body’s system. This aids in blood flow to the reproductive organs and stabilizes hormone levels. This in turn will increase ovarian function in women as well as sperm production in men.
