Treating Children & Teens with Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine

Babies can be treated, children and teenagers. Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine offer a safe, effective and gentle treatment for many ailments.

The acupuncture treatment itself for young children is very quick, the needles are very fine.  They are inserted into the skin for about a minute. This generally takes place whilst the child is sitting on mum or dads lap. Some children have a little cry, but it is over so fast, they generally stop even before they have begun! Kids tend to be relaxed and happy to play with toys or to blow raspberries whilst being treated. 

Charlotte is a mum of two girls, and is experienced with treating babies and children.  A tailored diagnosis and treatment will be given for your child to treat the presenting problem.

Due to new advertising standards, I am unable to list the range of treatments that I believe Chinese Medicine can help with. Please contact me If you would like to discuss treatment.

Number of treatments:

Some conditions will require 4 – 10 treatments, and some may need much more. This is dependant on the type of illness, the age of the child and the length of time they have been unwell. Also upon lifestyle and dietary changes. This would be discussed with you on your first visit.
