Our children are precious gifts to us. Watching them suffer with illness is difficult. Asian Medicine has been safely helping children feel better for thousands of years. It is a gentle and effective treatment method that is appropriate for acute and chronic conditions, and for prevention. We treat babies from a few days old to older children in their teens.

When treating children, various modalities are used including non-insertive acupuncture, gentle insertive acupuncture, cupping, tui na (a massage-like technique), and herbal and dietary therapy. Children not only benefit from the curative and holistic nature of Asian medicine, but many times we see children's vitality and spirit blossom. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help children move gracefully through the many transitions and challenges they face as they grow.
