Chinese Medicine is very helpful for children's conditions.  Treatment may include acupuncture, massage, moxa, dietary and lifestyle advice.  Children and babies of all ages may be treated.

For younger children most treatments are carried out whilst in the safe comfort of their parent’s lap.  If acupuncture is appropriate for your child, the needles, which are extremely fine, are put in and taken out within a few seconds.  Some children don’t feel a thing, others may feel a slight pricking sensation. Any discomfort is much less that the pain of an injection or immunisation.  For some children, moxa and massage and making changes to diet and lifestyle can be enough to bring about a resolution to a chronic problem.

The types of illnesses we commonly treat in children are:

• Digestive disorders: constipation, diarrhoea, poor appetite.
• Ear, nose and throat problems
• Respiratory illnesses; chronic cough, asthma, allergies.
• Behavioural problems; hyperactivity.

Treatment can also be effective at preparing children for immunisations and alleviating possible reactions.
