Kinder und Babies
Treatment of children with TCM
Newborns, babies and children are very welcome in the practice. I have various further training courses in the field of children's acupuncture and tuina and am happy about every little "patient".
Children and babies often react very quickly to alternative medical treatments. In most cases, their patterns are not as complex and long-lasting as those in adults. Children's Tuina and acupuncture can help in the following situations, among others:
- Indigestion
- Three-month colic
- Difficulty breathing
- Recurring infections
- Fever
- Sleep problems
- Allergies
- Growing pains
Children's Tuina
Tuina is a Chinese form of massage. Targeted points/regions on the hands, stomach, back and feet are treated. The massage is light and effective and can be continued at home by parents following instructions. The children often like and appreciate this daily routine very much.
Children's acupuncture
Children and babies can be treated well with acupuncture. Very few needles, sometimes just one, are used. The specially thin needles remain in the skin for a very short time, or a few seconds in babies.
TCM herbs and medicinal mushrooms
We work with various Swiss and German herbal suppliers who offer Chinese remedies of the highest quality. For children there are drops specially tailored to their needs, e.g. in the following situations:
- Ear pain
- Cough
- Colds
- Increased susceptibility to infections
