Traditional massage, herbs, acupuncture, moxibustion and food therapy are the fundamental elements of traditional Chinese medicine.

Pediatrics is one of the oldest specialties within TCM, which - rather than focusing on symptoms - treats each child as an individual by balancing the disharmony within the body and stimulating the body's natural ability to heal.

TCM pediatric massage is most effective with digestive, nervous and respiratory system conditions in children, such as colds, coughs, low appetite, frequent waking up from sleep, asthma, colic, vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion and stomach aches.

Nieji, literally kneading the spine, is a special branch of TCM pediatric massage, which focuses on acupuncture points mostly alongside the spine, and has great effect on nervous and digestive system diseases.
