Book
content
Children correspond to spring, to dawn, to the rising of yang within
yin, to wind. Their qi is characterized by impulsive, rapid, sudden
movement that is also a feature of any changes in their state of health
– young children fall ill very easily, yet respond just as readily
to treatment. Chinese medicine, which considers illnesses as manifestations
of an imbalance in the body’s energetic system, is very effective
in making resources available that are important in enabling the child
to grow up in a more harmonious and beneficial way.
