Does Acupuncture Work for Kids with Brain Retardation?

Acupuncture for children with delayed brain development is useful. Chinese medicine believes that the brain is the sea of marrow, and the essence is the material basis for the composition of the brain marrow, while the kidney hides the essence of the innate, the spleen is the essence of the innate to produce water and grain essence. Delayed brain development in children is mostly due to the lack of innate endowment (inborn constitution and function), deficiency of liver and kidney, or loss of nourishment in later life, inability to transport and transform the spleen, deficiency of qi and blood, and lack of source of essence production.
