Review
"Finando doesn't suggest that we turn our backs on Western medicine, but rather that we expand our families' wellness and medicine chests by discovering the power our bodies have to self-heal when ancient healing practices are applied."
Product Description

It establishes both their sense of self and their connectedness to the rest of the world. Donna Finando shows that touch is also key to restoring health when illness occurs. As a mother and grandmother, she has experienced the frustration and helplessness of watching a sick child suffer. As an acupuncturist and massage practitioner, she has found there are many simple ways parents can provide relief and even healing for many common ailments that afflict children by using touch therapy.Trigger point therapy releases restricted muscles while acupressure allows energy to flow freely, activating the body's remarkable healing abilities. Colds, sore throats, ear infections, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, and even asthma are some of the common conditions that can be relieved by touch therapy. Finando presents an in-depth explanation of each condition, providing information on causative factors, dietary and behavior recommendations, point techniques that can offer relief, and when to seek medical help. The gentle techniques that form this healing practice also extend to other parent-child interactions, offering a comprehensive model for the care and nurturing of children.

Acupoint and Trigger Point Therapy for Babies and Children,
By Tami Brady "Whole Health" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Acupoint And Trigger Point Therapy For Babies And Children (Paperback)
Touch is so very important to the healthy growth of children. It's obvious that children need lots of hugs and kisses in order to know they are loved. What's the first thing we do when our little ones are hurt or upset? We embrace them. When they are ill, without even thinking we stroke their head and massage the hurt away.Acupoint and Trigger Point Therapy For Babies and Children is a resource that takes our natural healing touch to a whole new level. From this book, parents can learn to sooth their children through easy massage. The actual massage points follow the various lines of flow according to meridian theory. To the average person, this might seem a little over their heads or complicated. However, many parents will be pleasantly surprised that they have already been automatically massaging a number of these points when their children were ill or in pain. Therefore, the practices in this text merely expand on our natural instincts.

This review is from: Acupoint And Trigger Point Therapy For Babies And Children (Paperback)
This book is helpful for parents as well as professionals working with babies. A brief and simple explanation of the meridian theory is given, but is not necessary to understand some of the hand positions and therapy that is helpful for kids.
