J uly 2015 NAJOM Miracles with Shonishin  and  Paediatric  Acupuncture by Katrianna Heigelmann Many of us practitioners shy away from treating children. I was no exception, following the words of the famous physician Sun Si Miao (Tang 618-907): “better to treat 10 men than 1 woman, better to treat 10 women than 1 baby.” The breakthrough usually happens when one becomes a parent and reaches out for more infor- mation and training in the treatment of children. Pediatrics class at a TCM college is just not enough. I found in my journey as an acupuncturist and mother that acupuncture, especially Japanese- style, offers much for our little ones.

Let’s just try not to reduce either approach to its complement. Healthcare is a big enough field to include both. Peter Eckman , BSc, PhD, MD, Lic.Ac. completed his ...
