Below you will find various relationships to, and potential clinical treatment approaches for down syndrome.
It is critical to appreciate that in Chinese Medicine, treatment for "down syndrome" is rarely focused on the symptoms exclusively. Alternatively, a practitioner is looking at the factors that led to the development of "down syndrome" - i.e. the "cause(s)".
For non-practitioners, we recommend reading treating the "cause" and not the "symptoms" for more on the overall approach and the importance of the TCM diagnostic system in formulating treatment approaches.
The Tom Tam/Tong Ren Therapy system can be applied via energy healing/medical qi gong methods as well as an acupuncture component. The acupuncture aspect is generally utilized in combination with more standard TCM diagnostic approaches.
For the specific points/areas that would generally be utilized in someone experiencing "down syndrome", please read "Tam Healing and Tong Ren Therapy for Down Syndrome ".
