More about Shonishin
Shonishin (shon=little, ni=children, shin= needle) pediatric acupuncture is a non-needle Japanese form of acupuncture massage designed specifically for the pediatric population. This is a common form of treatment for children in Japan and is designed to take the fear away from acupuncture treatments, while delivering the benefits of this time-honored healing tradition.

The Shonishin technique uses a variety of instruments to brush, tap and massage specific acupuncture points and channels on the skin. This gentle treatment is not only enjoyable for children but also quite effective in treating most common and even some uncommon childhood illnesses within a holistic framework. Some of these conditions include:

• Failure to thrive syndrome
• Weak constitution
• Colic, excessive night crying, temper tantrums
• Indigestion, GERD, constipation, and diarrhea
• Night terrors
• Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Allergies, asthma, and colds
• Eczema and hives
• Ear infections
• Bedwetting
• Stuttering
• Cerebral palsy
• Spina bifida
• Teething

So ladies...don't miss out on this great opportunity to experience the latest that First Health has to offer!
