Understanding ADHD from a TCM Perspective
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, ADHD is often related to imbalances in the Heart, Liver, Spleen, and Kidney systems. These imbalances can lead to symptoms such as hyperactivity, poor concentration, restlessness, and emotional instability. Instead of masking symptoms, TCM works to address the root cause of the imbalance and restore harmony in the body and mind.

Benefits of Acupuncture for ADHD May Include:

• Improved attention and concentration

• Reduced hyperactivity and impulsiveness

• Better sleep and mood regulation

• Decreased anxiety and emotional outbursts

• Enhanced academic and social functioning

How TCM Helps Children with ASD
From a TCM perspective, autism is often viewed as a result of imbalances in the Heart, Spleen, and Kidney systems, along with blockages of Qi (vital energy) and blood. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can help:

• Improve concentration and sensory regulation

• Reduce tantrums and repetitive behaviors

• Support digestive and immune health

• Promote better sleep and calmness

• Gentle acupuncture or acupressure 

• Customized Chinese herbal remedies to support internal balance

• Parent education: Diet, home routines, and emotional support guidance based on TCM principles

We treat with patience, care, and respect—always adjusting our techniques to each child’s comfort and sensory profile.

Acupuncture and TCM can offer valuable support to children with cerebral palsy by improving neuromuscular coordination, reducing muscle spasticity, and enhancing overall development.

Benefits May Include:

• Improved muscle tone and motor function

• Reduced stiffness and spasticity

• Enhanced circulation and nerve regeneration

• Support for speech and cognitive development

• Relief from associated issues like digestive problems or sleep disturbances

Integrated Care for Neurological Development
In TCM, cerebral palsy is seen as a disruption in the flow of Qi and Blood, often involving the Liver and Kidney systems. Treatment involves stimulating specific acupuncture points to support neurological repair and motor recovery. Depending on the child’s condition, we may use a combination of acupuncture, herbal formulas, and dietary guidance.
