Naturopathy treat headaches sustainably

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Sustainably treat headaches in children

11.08.2011

Headaches in children can be treated sustainably with Traditional Chinese Medicine. „Mom, my head hurts!“ - Many mothers know this exclamation, because not infrequently, headaches occur as early as childhood. Whether it's too much stress in your free time and school or tense neck muscles, there are a number of possible reasons for children's headaches. Meanwhile, four percent of schoolchildren even suffer from recurrent migraine attacks, with the intake of medication usually relieving pain only for a short time and there is a risk of creeping drug dependence. A sustainable way out of life with headaches is the treatment with Chinese medicine.

„Experience has shown that while medications relieve the acute onset, but increase the frequency of attacks - even in children“, explains Dr. Christian Schmincke, TCM expert and head of the clinic at the Steigerwald. That's why Chinese medicine is taking a different approach. Often there are untreated colds, too much stress or digestive problems in the background of migraine development. The experts rely on Chinese drug therapy in the offspring, with the help of which they tackle the causes of headaches. When patients cure these, it is possible to reduce the seizure frequency and to activate self-healing powers. „At the same time, Chinese medicine stands for therapies tailored to the individual patient and a holistic view“, so Dr. Schmincke. Massages, healthy nutrition and sometimes acupuncture support healing processes. Thus, Chinese medicine makes it possible to banish headaches from children's rooms in the long term. (Pm)
