Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Boris, I learned that children's meridians and qi is not full developed till they are six years old. Till then, if it is necessary to tx the children directly it is best to tx parents also.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 I read and heard that too. That their Qi is not fully developed yet i can understand, but why shouldnt their meridians be? We are born with everything no? Would be glad if someone knew of a source that explains the underdevelopement of meridians in children. As for in clinical praxis i saw many kids being diagnosed and treated just like adults, points chosen were mainly arm and leg points. As a matter of fact the younges baby i have ever seen in the clinic was 5 days old, based on distinguishable pulse patterns (this even surprised me!) it was treated succesfully with regular acupoints.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Rebekka, My understanding is that with increased maturity comes increased complexity in the channel system. Jing/essence is not fully developed until puberty, which is why the pulse only has one or two positions to read until that time. The channels are all 'there', but generally speaking only the major acupoints are used, such as LI 4 and 11, Sp 6, St 36, etc. On Dec 18, 2007, at 3:54 AM, rebekka wrote: > I read and heard that too.
