The treatment methods

 

Diagnosis

TCM has developed a diverse diagnostic procedure over thousands of years. The two cornerstones of diagnosis are tongue and pulse diagnosis:

By closely observing the shape, color and quality of the tongue, as well as feeling the 28 different pulse qualities, the therapist or doctor can draw conclusions about the internal processes in the body.

 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture influences bodily functions via specific points on the surface of the body. The needles are inserted to different depths at over 360 acupuncture points to balance the circulation of Qi and regulate certain organ systems.

 

Ear acupuncture treatment

Ear acupuncture provides immediate relief from pain and is therefore particularly suitable for treating acute symptoms.

 

Tui-Na massage

The massage therapy in TCM is called Tuina. Tui means pushing, na is translated as grasping. It is often used in combination with acupuncture or cupping, especially for musculoskeletal complaints. Special techniques and manipulations are used to work on muscles, massage acupuncture points and open up pathways in order to alleviate symptoms.

 

Cupping

Cupping glasses are placed on the skin to increase blood circulation in the connective tissue and muscles, which loosens and relaxes them. In addition, the immune system and, depending on the area treated, internal organ systems are stimulated.

 

Heat therapy

Burning mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is used to warm up reaction zones in the body and thus activate the body's own self-healing powers.
