Pediatrics is an important component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) since more than 2000 years and is being developed constantly according to the newest scientific findings. There are very good reasons to opt for supporting your child with TCM:
1. TCM can help in a wide area of multiple physical, emotional and mental conditions and is very efficient. Some indications are listed here:
- respiratory diseases (bronchitits, asthma, cough, cold)
- digestion diseases (colics, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, lack of appetite)
- stomach pains
- nervousness, restlessness, sleep disorder
- skin disorders (neurodermitis, rashes)
- allergies, food intolerance
- enuresis
The physical, emotional or mental symptoms are considered an imbalance of Qi (vital force) in your child. With the aim of re-balancing the Qi, TCM can help and support in the case of nearly all symptoms. Continually reappearing cycles of disorders can be broken up sustainably.
2. TCM can help to boost your child's physical, emotional and mental well-being. Even if your child is not indicating any clear symptoms, TCM support can help to feel better and feel more strength and happiness in her or his life.
3. TCM is very efficient at prevention. A child's energy is demanded very strongly during the phase of growth and can easily sip into a deficit or is blocked. TCM strengthens the child integrally and thus helps coping with growth and the challenges of life in good health.
4. In the case of chronic disorders, TCM can help reduce the amount of medication or even withdraw from it completely. If situatively indicated or desired by the parents, the TCM therapist is in interdisciplinary exchange with the pediatrist or therapists from different fields in order to support your child optimally.
TCM is offering different methods to trat your child. In many cases no acupuncture needles are needed at all. The treatments are painfree and are planned together with you and your child, and are conducted in way that can be tolerated well by the patient.
