Hello Practice Members & Friends!
As you see below, kids can receive acupuncture, too! Here are 3-year old Talia and my 6-year old Angilynn. Angilynn has been receiving acupuncture and Chinese herbal formulas since 1-year old.
Talia received 5 needles this day and we kept the needles in for 30-40 minutes. She did an excellent job! Good for you for boosting your immune system, Talia. After 3 rounds of 10-day antibiotics (back to back), her mama was more than ready to go a different route for an ear infection.
Can you spot her needles? 2 on the elbows, 2 on her hands and 1 on her left leg. Needles were inserted about 1/4-1/2″. Sterile needles are always used once and disposed of in a Sharps biohazard box.
Though my family doesn’t get the flu shot, we’re not sitting ducks. We do acupuncture and take herbal formulas for enhancing our immune system and should we catch a cold, we take anywhere between 1-4 formulas to speed up the healing process. In my life, “2 days is too long to be sick.” The kids are back in school. All of us should be doing something to keep ourselves extra healthy from September-April. Kids get especially sick during the week after Halloween. My daughter is one of the healthiest kids you’ll ever meet. Come in and ask her why.
