Tomohiro Yube, Director of Yube Family Clinic (located in Akashi-shi, Hyogo Prefecture), is pleased to announce the publication of the book "Shotsai Kodomo Hari: Baby Tei Acupuncture" on July 20, 2024, by Seifusha (located in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative: Shizuo Okamura).

Kodomo hari," acupuncture and moxibustion for children. You may have heard of it at least somewhere. Children's acupuncture is a historical therapy that is said to have been practiced since the Edo period (1603-1868).

However, its details and when to use it are not well known to many people.

Therefore, the author, Tomohiro Yube, developed "Baby Tei Acupuncture(R)" as a method that fits the constitution of modern children and the values of their guardians, based on the techniques of pediatric acupuncture that have been handed down in Japan from ancient times, and compiled the contents of this book.

Book cover

Children's Acupuncture" has a long history, but is not well known.

There are many methods of treating children in the world, but pediatric acupuncture is a minor form of stimulation that can be performed on children as young as 0 years old, and is only performed by nationally certified acupuncturists or physicians. Therefore, it is an excellent and safer method for treating children's delicate minds and bodies.

In Osaka in the Meiji and early Showa periods, pediatric acupuncture was often used to treat children's daily problems, such as crying at night and tantrums.

Today, however, the number of acupuncturists who can perform pediatric acupuncture is increasing nationwide, but the practice has not yet spread widely among the general child-rearing population.

One of the reasons for this may be the lack of literature and books on pediatric acupuncture.

Therefore, the author, Tomohiro Yube, wrote "Shodo-Hari Baby Teishin" as a useful book for acupuncture and moxibustion practitioners as well as parents.

Shinsatsu Shodanai Kosodan Hari Baby Tei-Shin (Acupuncture for Children: Baby Tei-Shin)

Child acupuncture is actually in high demand for current child rearing issues.

One of the problems that tend to aggravate child-rearing neuroses and child abuse is that parents "do not have anyone to talk to" or "do not know or do not know where they can go for advice.

In such a situation, acupuncture clinics that offer pediatric acupuncture are relatively low-rise for parents who are worried about the burden and anxiety of child rearing, and function as a place where they can easily consult about everything from mental and physical problems to child rearing and daily life issues.

This is because pediatric acupuncture can be performed on children as young as 0 years old, and aims to strengthen the child's healthy physical and mental conditions, such as eating, sleeping, passing stools, improving mood, and regulating the autonomic nervous system. In other words, it is useful in supporting all the problems that parents often consult with us about, such as crying at night, tantrums, rough skin, constipation, uneven eating, tics, bed-wetting, non-attendance at school, and other problems that are less than illnesses (pre-symptoms).

These problems are often difficult to find improvement in hospitals alone, or they are told to "wait and see" and not treated, making it difficult for parents to find a solution and increasing the burden and anxiety of child-rearing, even if the child is not ill. Especially in recent years, more and more parents are learning about pediatric acupuncture as a result of non-attendance at school or growth and development problems.

By using the gentle and delicate techniques of pediatric acupuncture and the unique perspective of Oriental medicine, we can help with ailments before they become illnesses, thereby reducing the burden and anxiety of parenting and preventing child-rearing neuroses.
