Childrens Clinic


Chinese Medicine for Families and Children

The practice also specialises in treating children from birth. I’m often asked if children will take their medicine or have Acupuncture or even take Chinese Herbs? It is my experience that provided  children are not forced into it, then they accept the treatments willingly especially when they realise it will make them better. This is often much to the amazement of their parents.

We are a child friendly practice.

Depending on the situation and the stage the child is at, bringing activities to keep children occupied whilst discussing their treatment with their parents often works well. Also it is not always possible to find a baby sitter when coming for a treatment yourself and in these cases mothers or fathers often bring their children, most of whom are content to watch a film, read or do some colouring etc.
