Is acupuncture safe for children?

By admin | Published August 11, 2011

Yes. In some instances children actually respond more quickly than adults. If your child has an aversion to needles, your acupuncturist may massage the acupuncture points. This is called acupressure or tuina.

Testimonials

“I want to thank you for healing my gout. Western medicine prescribed colchicine, and a variety of other remedies that never did squat. You did away with it through the use of essential oils, which promoted a total body cleansing. Who would have thought that it would be so quick! Oriental medicine healed me within two months.”

I am feeling so much better. I got some energy back and can focus
better. I do not know what you do with those needles but to me it is like “magic”. Thank you for all that you do.

Since 1986, I have witnessed that after just a few treatments, most patients will experience:

less pain and fewer symptoms
increased energy and greater immunity
a sense of more control over their health
a more optimistic outlook on life
a desire to learn more about holistic self-care
