Lunar Treatments:
- Each month, near the full moon, children enjoy gentle Full Moon treatments. This tradition originates in Japan, where it is common practice for children to receive monthly treatments around the full moon.
- When the moon is waxing near full, it exerts an influence not only on the tides of the oceans but also on the ocean within our body. Pediatric Full Moon treatments are offered each month to strengthen the constitution, enhance the immune system and nourish the spirit, giving the child a general sense of well-being by balancing the meridian systems.
- Pediatric Full Moon treatments are painless, gentle and consist of massage and tapping tools which never penetrate the skin. This rubbing, brushing, and tapping of the skin, strengthens your child's developing energy pathways and organ systems. Families love this ritual and parents enjoy learning what they can do to help prevent and treat symptoms at home.
- There is an ancient saying: “Treat Winter diseases in the Summer.” This means that through preventive treatments in earlier seasons, we can avoid and heal illness in later seasons. For example, children can decrease the intensity and frequency of coughs in the Fall and allergies in the Spring by getting regular monthly Full Moon preventive treatments.
