Practice for acupuncture and TCM
 
Health depends on a balance between the opposing forces of yin and yang. The interaction of yin and yang, of cold and warm, of passive and active creates a kind of life energy known as qi (chii). If its energy flow is disturbed (e.g. by emotions, injuries, cold, etc.), blockages occur, which can manifest themselves in the form of pain or even illness.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the targeted therapeutic manipulation of bodily functions via specific points on the surface of the body, known as acupuncture points. By inserting the needles at acupuncture points at different depths, the circulation of Qi is balanced and certain organ systems are stimulated or dampened.

Laser acupuncture
Laser acupuncture is painless and therefore ideal for children and people with a "fear of needles".
 
Auricular acupuncture
Oral acupuncture is often used to support normal acupuncture.
The entire body is depicted on the ear. Ear acupuncture can be treated with acupuncture needles or with seeds and beads which are stuck to the corresponding points.
 
Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a technique used by many Asian families as a "home remedy" for the first signs of illness. It involves irritating the skin with a rounded object or a flat piece of buffalo horn using scraping, stroking movements. Gua Sha is used in Chinese medicine for both acute and chronic illnesses and painful conditions. The effect is similar to cupping.
 
Moxibustion
Heat is applied to certain acupuncture points using glowing mugwort. Moxa is used in addition to acupuncture for cold-related illnesses.
 
Cupping
Cupping involves stimulating the points with cupping glasses. The resulting suction stimulus stimulates blood circulation and releases energy blockages.
 
Herbal medicine
Western medicinal herbs are individually combined into a mixture according to the criteria of Chinese medicine. Certain medicinal herbs are particularly suitable for external use, others can be taken as a tea or tincture.
 
Dietetics
Dietetics adjusts the diet to the patient's individual disharmony according to the TCM diagnosis. Extreme changes or one-sided diets are avoided; the holistic aspect of Chinese medicine is reflected in a varied diet.
