How can acupuncture help with ADHD
In Chinese Medicine: the development of brain depends on internal organs such as liver, kidney, heart and spleen. With a healthy condition of these organs, they will produce Qi, Blood and Essence to nourish the brain and keep its normal function. Acupuncture points can stimulate these organs so as to promote brain’s function.
On the other hand, Chinese medicine believes there is energy flow in the body and to the brain. Meridians such as Du, Liver, Gallbladder and Urinary Bladder channels all go to the brain to bring more blood flow to it. Dr. Yan’s Brain Activating Acupuncture stimulates these channels so as to improve brain’s function.
Acupuncture for kids
Acupuncture is performed by inserting needles into the body. It might be difficult to be accepted by younger kids (below 10 years old) even though the finest needles are applied to them (diameter: 0.18cm). Before bring your kids to here, parents should try to talk and explain to your kids about how acupuncture is performed and how are you supposed to feel during the retention of needles. Watching this video might be helpful.
