Case study
A mother brought her 10 year-old daughter to see Dr. Li. She told Dr. Li that her daughter could not pay attention in class for almost a year. Her poor concentration and weak memory significantly affected her school learning process and academic results.

After TCM diagnosis, Dr. Li confirmed the girl’s cognitive and memory performance are normal. In actual fact, she had Allergic Rhinitis which affected her sleep at night and cause day-time fatigue as well as sleepiness. She also had morning sneeze and blocked nose for almost a year. All these issues apparently caused her to be inattentive in class and thus affect her school performance.

After analysing both its root cause and symptoms, Dr. Li combined herbal remedy, paediatric massage and acupuncture to invigorate her body’s natural mechanisms so as to enhance the weaker internal organs and strengthen the child immunity at the same time. The treatment method are effective, gentle and no harmful side effects.

Dr.Li also stressed the importance for children to have adequate nutritients diet and healthy lifestyle. In addition, sleep plays a significant role in brain development for children. School-aged children need at least 10 hours of sleep per day. Parents always have the wrong perception of reducing the child’s sleeping hours during examinations. In fact, it will add pressure to the child, and may deter the child’s academic performance.
