Approaching pediatric acupuncture from a spiritual perspective is the most effective means for providing a valuable, holistic, relatively non-invasive approach to pediatric acupuncture,as well as preventive treatments for the repulsion of disease and the correction of Qi (i.e.vital energy) imbalances.Methods include the use of acupressure (i.e.application of the therapists finger pressure to selected acupuncture points), laser techniques (i.e.low-intensity light directed towards acupuncture points) and acupuncture for children that do not display fear towards the shallow insertion of needles.Other ancillary techniques are also valuable, such as plum blossom needles, moxibustion, application of mild herbal heat to acupuncture points and cupping.Due to the young age of the patients, children will display fast and effective positive responses to therapy,just as they are susceptible to negative effects in similar timeframes.Children will respond faster than adults to such treatments, which can also increase immune system functionality and bolster resistance to invasive forms of Qi imbalances and disease.Such treatments will also relieve pain and distress and improve concentration and mental attitudes in children.Difficult conditions, such as ADHD and ADD can also be effectively treated through a spiritual approach to pediatric acupuncture.Pediatric acupuncture from a spiritual perspective provides a specific, safe and effective therapy for a wide variety of painful and non-painful conditions through Qi balancing in children.Moreover, parents may be taught to apply acupressure to their children with an excellent response, especially when given with loving kindness.Such techniques not only resolve acute symptoms, but also provide preventive measures and enable parent-child relationships to thrive.Overall, medical acupuncture from a spiritual perspective is one of the best complementary therapies in pediatrics.
