Herbal medicine<\/strong>: The TCM doctor will prescribe appropriate herbal formulas based on the child’s epilepsy type, constitution, and symptoms, to regulate brain nerve function, calm the nerves, and reduce the frequency and severity of seizures.<\/p>

Acupuncture<\/strong>: Acupuncture can regulate body functions by stimulating specific acupuncture points. Scalp acupuncture can act on the cerebral cortex reflex areas for treatment, often used for neurological disorders, to soothe the nervous system and reduce seizure episodes.<\/p>

MANA Painless “laser acupuncture”<\/strong><\/p>

Combining traditional acupuncture with modern technology, laser acupuncture is painless, non-invasive, and without needle sensation, suitable for children who are less receptive to traditional acupuncture.<\/p>

Laser acupuncture uses low-intensity laser irradiation on acupuncture points, such as the scalp reflex areas, Taichong, Zusanli, Fengshi, etc., to stimulate the meridians and acupoints, calm the liver and suppress wind, sedate the mind, and synergistically complement the Chinese herbal medicine treatment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

  2. Remove sharp objects or corners in the home and consider using protective padding or corner guards to prevent injuries in case of seizures.<\/p><\/li>

  3. Avoid allowing the child to bathe alone, and do not lock the bathroom door during bathing to ensure their safety.<\/p><\/li>
