TCM Pediatrics
TCM Pediatrics is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine that applies TCM theories and methods to diagnose and treat children’s diseases. It emphasizes a holistic approach, focusing on the balance and harmony between the internal and external environment of the body. In TCM Pediatrics, doctors consider factors such as a child’s constitution, developmental stage, and symptoms to develop a treatment plan. Diagnostic methods include observation, listening, inquiry, and pulse examination, while treatment techniques may involve acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, and dietary adjustments to regulate and treat children’s ailments.
TCM Pediatrics refers to the application of TCM principles in diagnosing, treating, and preventing childhood diseases. Compared to Western pediatrics, TCM Pediatrics focuses more on the overall balance of yin-yang and the five elements, regulating qi and blood to promote children’s health and treat illnesses. TCM practitioners customize treatment plans based on a child’s constitution, age, and condition, incorporating dietary adjustments, lifestyle modifications, exercise recommendations, herbal medicine, acupuncture, and Meridian therapeutic massage to address specific symptoms.
