I didn't get the picture... or get them to blow a huge raspberry while the needle goes in geovani> " to blow a huge raspberry " ???? LOL Is not raspberry a fruit? How is one supose to " blow " one? Sorry again... It seems relevant, to me, concerning our behaviour towards kids... needles may be quite frightening. How about mosha, and ventosa (how do you say this word in English... you know the aplication of vacuum with some mechanical means over acup. points) , if plum blossom doesn't seem strong enough treatment. All the kids I've treated have been fine with this. geovani> hmmmm.....sounds interesting to me...what a mistery, thought...

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2000 Report Share Posted March 7, 2000 Hi Geovani and all to explain - I draw a circle around the acupuncture point of choice (so not ink over the actual point), draw a little face in it with a nose - smaller circle) which the child can bop with the seven star hammer. This makes the whole treatment fun for them, takes the tension out of it - treatment is more than purely a clinical process! Blowing a raspberry means that the kid gets to make a huge noise with their mouth - like a fart - sorry, I don't know how to translate this - basically the rudest noise they can think of. Another child chose to say something rude - 'big bottoms' - anything to make them feel they're in charge and doing something fun. I realise that I'm a Fire CF, which colours my approach, but trust me, kids have fun with it! Amanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2000 Report Share Posted March 9, 2000 I know a cuping (ventose) technique for acupoints, invented by a chinese Dr. here, with magnetic point of pressure inside. It is usefull, but I think doesn't worth it so much... better trying another techniques.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 I've had great results on kids as old as 12 with just acupressure, ear seeds and also craniosacral therapy. Constipation, cerebral palsy, otitis media, you name it. Even if they won't stay still, just follow them around. > Message: 20 > Wed, 2 Mar 2005 06:37:52 -0700 > " Christopher Vedeler, L.Ac.
