Treating Young Children and Babies

Many parents do not realise what a safe and effective treatment acupuncture can be for a young child and Gerd is specialised in paediatric acupuncture.

Chinese Herbal Medicine is particularly well known for its effectiveness in the treatment of childhood eczema. To treat skin problems, Gerd often prescribes herbs to be used in baths, rather than taken internally, if the child is very young.

Gerd is happy to teach the parents massage techniques suitable for their baby or young child.

The most common problems in children seen at the Avenue Health Clinic are frequent or continous colds, coughs and runny nose, colic and other digestive complaints and excema and asthma.
