Laser acupuncture: A low pain alternative for children
Especially children who fear needles now have the opportunity to avoid ear and body acupuncture therapy by using an equivalent therapy: laser acupuncture.
According to Dr. Beate Strittmatter from the German Academy of Acupuncture and Aurikulomedicine incorporated society this method is absolutely agreeable for infants and causes neither pain nor rashes of any kind. Strittmatter says: "Laser acupuncture on ears and/or body can treat all diseases which are based on defective – not destroyed – body functions. Migraine, allergies, sleeplessness, chronic pain, problems with the digestive system and skin diseases can be treated via laser acupuncture."
During treatment the acupuncture points and reflex zones, which are connected to the meridians, are influenced by a precisely tested laser light. The light donates some of its energy to the cells and therefore also to the meridians. This method helps to clear blocked or imbalanced energy, which can often be the reason for certain diseases.
Often certain disturbances that prevent the body from naturally healing a disease – without actually being part of the disease itself – can be treated. These disturbances must first be diagnosed by the doctor before acupuncture begins. In children these disturbances can include chronic inflammation of the paranasal sinuses, inflamed tonsils, scars, intestinal disorders or intoxications. From the age of eight to twelve onward the acupuncture will be intensified with very thin needles, while laser treatment can act as an intensifier.
