Shonishin is a unique, non-invasive and gentle pediatric style of acupuncture that developed over 250 years ago in Japan. Rather than insertion of needles, Shonishin uses a group of gentle techniques with special tools to brush, tap, or rub the surface of skin. This painless technique mimics the effects of acupuncture, provides stimulation over specific acupuncture points and meridians of the body. Shonishin is effective in treatment of common pediatric conditions ranging from behavioural and emotional to many physical conditions.

If you have fed, burped and changed your baby but they are still distressed and crying, there often is something uncomfortable going on internally. Babies are born with very weak digestive systems and sensitive nervous systems. Regular Shonishin treatments sooth your baby’s nervous system, strengthen their digestive system and help ease and prevent episodes of colic, gas and acid reflux.

Shonishin treatments can also help your baby sleep through the night. Regular treatments are highly recommended, if your baby is unsettled at night, not sleeping well, and waking up several times during the nigh without obvious reasons (hungry, wet diapers etc.). Similarly, Shonishin can help reduce and prevent discomfort for your baby while teething. Regular treatments calm the nervous system, clear inflammation and considerably relieve pain and discomfort in the gums, making it an excellent choice for teething baby.

Lastly, it is recommended for babies to have regular Shonishin treatments for preventive care. Monthly treatments ensure proper immune function and prevent any lingering ailments turning into chronic problems.

If you have exhausted the every days solutions for fixing your baby’s fussy behaviour and nothing has worked, it is time to consider Shonishin. It is always recommended to consult your pediatrician if you have any concerns about child’s overall health. It also helps to know that there are complimentary and effective approaches of addressing common health conditions your baby may be dealing with.
