Description
Support your child's health in a natural and relaxing way using acupressure! Acupuncture is an effective therapeutic treatment that relieves pain, regulates the nervous system to relieve anxiety and other stress-related symptoms, balances the body’s energy, and treats many other conditions, such as digestive problems, headaches, and insomnia. Acupressure is a simple and effective way to tap into the theories of East Asian Medicine and acupuncture, without using needles. In this course you will learn simple acupressure techniques that you can use for your child to help with anxiety, sleep issues, hyperactivity, focus and digestive complaints.
You will learn the underlying principles of acupuncture and acupressure, the location of acupressure points, and their functions, and how to stimulate the points using tools or your fingers. For each syndrome, you will learn several different points, and you can use all of them, or just choose one that your child prefers.
These acupressure techniques can be used for just a few minutes a day, and you can even teach your child self-administer acupressure when they are at school.
Please note this course is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical issue that you or your child may be experiencing. It is always recommended and emphasized to consult with your doctor for any conditions that you are concerned about.
