Stephen Birch, a brilliant teacher and writer with a lot of experience in pediatric acupuncture especially in Japanese Acupuncture and Shonishin shows why Shonishin is perfect for treatment for children and babies. He shows a treatment video how to treat babies and that there is no pain for the babie. He presents the treatment model for treating babies with Shonishin and gives a historical background in Chinese acupuncture, how it came to Japan and why it is perfect for treating children and babies. Then he shows how to diagnose babies as well as general treatment principles. Then he goes into the different treatment levels and shows treatment approaches by presenting some video sequences. You will see needling techniques, Shonishin tools (stroking tools) and home treatments for parents. Later he will present several case studies and explains symptoms and the therapy in detail. This video gives you a great feeling how Shonishin works and a good impression if this could be integrated in your practice and if you want to take classes in this.
Introduction to Shonishin – Japanese pediatric acupuncture is a presentation by Birch at the ASA congress 2012.
What is health?
The word health refers to a state of complete emotional and physical well-being. Healthcare exists to help people maintain this optimal state of health.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), healthcare costs in the United States were $3.5 trillionTrusted Source in 2017.
However, despite this expenditure, people in the U.S. have a lower life expectancy than people in other developed countries. This is due to a variety of factors, including access to healthcare and lifestyle choices.
Good health is central to handling stress and living a longer, more active life. In this article, we explain the meaning of good health, the types of health a person needs to consider, and how to preserve good health.
In 1948, the World Health Organization (WHO)Trusted Source defined health with a phrase that modern authorities still apply.
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
In 1986, the WHOTrusted Source made further clarifications:
“A resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities.”
This means that health is a resource to support an individual’s function in wider society, rather than an end in itself. A healthful lifestyle provides the means to lead a full life with meaning and purpose.
In 2009, researchers publishing inThe LancetTrusted Source defined health as the ability of a body to adapt to new threats and infirmities.
They base this definition on the idea that the past few decades have seen modern science take significant strides in the awareness of diseases by understanding how they work, discovering new ways to slow or stop them, and acknowledging that an absence of pathology may not be possible.
