What Is Shonishin Pediatric Acupuncture?

Shonishin is a unique form of Japanese pediatric acupuncture designed for infants and children, using gentle, non-invasive tools to stroke, tap, and press the skin. It stimulates the body’s energy channels to promote balance and wellness without inserting needles.
