Shonishin was developed in Japan as a technique of acupuncture for children, and has been actively practiced since the late Edo period. It has been established with history as a treatment method unique to Japan. Unlike general acupuncture, kids acupuncture is a technique that does not pierce the body with needles, simply rub gently the skin with a special acupuncture tool or taps it against the skin. According to the patient's symptoms, the treatment is performed on the areas (meridians and acupuncture points) where the effect can be expected. The treatment time is short, about 5- 10 minutes, but it relaxes the child and improves autonomic nervous symptoms, night crying, worms (tantrums and squeaky voices), constipation, indigestion, and nocturnal enuresis etc. In recent years, it has also been used to treat school refusal and developmental disorders.
