The Jiang-Su Provincial Hospital of Nanjing, China has a foundation of main-stream medicine practice combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine. Here a greater understanding of the human body and its functions are approached with complete balance, the best of both worlds in health care. In the Pediatric Division at the Jiang-Su Provincial Hospital, health care is an issue because there are so many people in China’s population to care for.
Holistic or Ancient Chinese Medicine is often less costly to the public than mainstream medical treatment. It is a very efficient way for the medical care system to operate in China, using more of the old ways to treat the body in health and disease through a main Province Hospital. Taking care of a baby with special medical or health needs can become challenging for a parent.
In Chinese Traditional Medicine, a baby under a physician’s care may have Chinese Tuina Massage as a main treatment for the more mild medical symptoms, such as colic and a main-stream medical plan for the more diagnosed severe cases.
Currently, Chinese "Tuina" Massage is found as a main health-care regime in more than 75 percent of young infants’ medical care cases in China. This is amazing to me, and one can only imagine just how many massages several million children and adults receive in China every day. Tuina — Chinese Massage is now being introduced to the outside world.
China was not always open to the out-side world for any type entry into their world. I felt very lucky to be included in our study group with the best Pediatric Division in China. I met a woman having a small box lunch outside the Hospital grounds. She was studying at Jiang-Su, researching cancer for John Hopkins. She said the doctors’ skills at this medical facility are a rarity in our world. My doctor and teacher, Dr. Yin Ming, head of the Pediatric Division, was a little dainty woman about five feet one inch tall. She had great compassion for the infants and children that came to her for treatment. Dr. Ming had studied in her home country to become a Medical Doctor, Acupuncturist, and then specialized in Pediatric Tuina — Chinese massage for small children. Her daughter accompanied her by translating Chinese medical text into English, so we could understand her better.
Learning from the other doctors in the clinics at The Jiang-Su Provincial Hospital was much more of a practical hands-on treatment. We would learn through direct contact with babies and mothers. Even after spending the time learning the Holistic Chinese Medicine approach, I feel there is still so much to learn from their ancient ways.The Chinese base all medical treatment with the function of the elements in nature.

The Chinese base all medical treatment with the function of the elements in nature. Heaven, earth, and the elements found in the body are the tools for which they diagnose and treat symptoms. How these elements are in balance with one another in the human body will often determine the outcome of focused treatment. There is a chapter in this book dedicated to the use of Aromatherapy and Botanicals, and how they may be applied in a massage oil form for massaging your baby.
Herbs, plants, and their essences are found now in a more modern form. A good massage provides relaxation, and often relief from pain, such as colic when applied properly. It is always a good idea to determine the general health of a baby through a mainstream doctor before beginning any massage or holistic therapy, should there be a contra-indication for the direct application. And, besides... babies respond to massage!
Massage is not a replacement for mainstream medicine. For example, you would use mainstream medicine when you have a broken bone and would need an X-ray and a cast. However, when your baby has "colic", a massage with Aromatherapy for the digestion may be just what the Doctor ordered.
Baby Massage and Aromatherapy is a complement to help the body heal itself in an alternative form.
