Here is an introduction to the concept of spleen energy and your child which comes from the Chinese medicine system. I want to give you some background information as well as some examples in this video that I think all parents need to know.

My goal in making this video is to describe how the evaluation and treatment of your child can be enhanced by using this concept of the spleen energy subcircuit to describe what’s going on with your child and some of the nuances of the particular influence the spleen energy has in young children from birth to around 5 years old. This is the type of discussion I have with parents in my own practice, and I want to share some of this perspective with you.

Lung Energy and Your Child

Lung Energy and Your ChildUsing the Chinese Medicine system for evaluating children’s “Lung Energy” (which includes such respiratory conditions as allergies, asthma, even eczema, etc), often offers explanations as well as treatment options unavailable in the western medical approach.

Lung and upper respiratory related symptoms make up a large proportion of the reasons parents take their kids to see the doctor. But rather than just focusing on this one part of your child’s system, I have found that it is important to look at the whole picture, especially certain correlations that come from the Chinese medicine perspective.

In this video, we will explore and discuss the lung energy and your child in a simple and straight-forward way. The content of this video is taken from the conversations I have had with parents over the years in my own practice. I think this information is valuable as a means to understand what’s going on with your child. This is something that all parents need to know.

If your child has symptoms or a condition related to the lung or respiratory system in any way, this information will give you a different perspective than you may have had up until now. This video gives information that is a good example of how your child’s system has multiple inter-related parts that work together simultaneously, not as independent pieces operating by themselves. This is one of the greatest strengths of the Chinese medicine system and the energy medicine point of view.
