The TopPharm Pharmacy Paradeplatz was founded more than 100 years ago, at that time under the name Stemmler Pharmacy. It has been known by its current name since 1948. In 1996, Dr. Lorenz Schmid took over the management of the pharmacy from his predecessor and father, Dr. Josef Schmid. In 1999, the pharmacy was completely renovated and a therapy center was added. Since 2013, the pharmacy has also been part of the Paradeplatz Aesthetic Center. It serves as a forum for exchange between pharmacists and doctors. In 2017, we completely renovated the pharmacy and geared it towards the future—modernized, digitized, and automated.

Complementary medicine
This page provides a brief insight into the diversity of natural remedies.
- Gentle medicine
Complementary medicine and conventional medicine have the same goal, namely the recovery of the patient. However, they take two different approaches. Conventional medicine refers to the entirety of diagnostic and therapeutic measures based on scientific explanatory models. Complementary medicine takes a different view. It views health as a process that can also include illness. An illness represents an imbalance within this complex biological system. The body is therefore viewed as a unity of body, mind, and soul.
- Acupressure
Similar to acupuncture, acupressure also treats specific energy points – but not with needles, rather with targeted massage. We instinctively use acupressure whenever we feel pain: we rub our temples or forehead when we have a headache. And when we feel a twinge somewhere in our body, we touch the affected area.
- Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an independent healing concept that has been developed by many scholars in China over a period of 2000 years. Acupuncture is the targeted therapeutic influence of bodily functions via specific points on the body's surface. The flow of qi (life energy) is influenced by inserting needles.
- Bach flower therapy
Bach flower therapy is a method founded in the 1930s by British physician Edward Bach and named after him. According to Bach's central thesis, every physical illness is based on a mental imbalance. He saw the cause of this imbalance in a conflict between the immortal soul and the personality. Healing is achieved through harmonization on this spiritual-emotional level.
- Movement therapy (integrative/clinical)
Movement therapy is a holistic method based on the fundamental understanding of the human being as a unity of body, soul, and spirit. It uses movement, body awareness, and dance as a means of helping patients get in touch with themselves and their inner experiences and feel comfortable in their own bodies. In this way, self-healing processes can be stimulated and supported.
- Connective tissue massage
Connective tissue massage is a form of reflexology and, like reflexology, is based on the theory of reflex zones developed by the English neurologist Henry Head. According to this theory, the internal organs are connected to specific, clearly defined areas of the skin via nerve pathways.
- Foot reflexology massage/reflexology
The reflex zones are nerve endings on the foot that are connected to a specific organ or organ system. This means that the entire body is reflected in the feet. A special technique is used to apply pressure to specific points on the foot reflex zones, which has a specific effect on the corresponding organs of the body. A distinction is made between a calming and an activating effect. Working on the feet allows energy to flow more freely again and releases blockages.
- Homeopathy
Homeopathy awakens the body's self-healing powers. Samuel Hahnemann discovered that a disease can be cured with the same remedy that causes similar symptoms in a healthy person. The effect of the remedy is increased by potentizing (shaking) it.
- Kinesiology
Kinesiology is based on the assumption that health problems manifest themselves as weakness in certain muscle groups. The central tool of kinesiology for diagnosing such disorders is the so-called "kinesiological muscle test."
- Classic massage
Massage in the broadest sense is one of the oldest remedies known to mankind. Classic massage is an external, manual treatment for complaints of the musculoskeletal system using pressure, traction, shaking, stroking, and tapping. Classic massage can also have a beneficial effect on diseased internal organs.
- Manual lymphatic drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage is a form of therapy that supports and stimulates the lymphatic system throughout the body. Its drainage effect strengthens the immune system, while its gentle movements have a decongestant, soothing, and relaxing effect. This therapeutic measure is used to treat primary and secondary lymphedema.
- Osteopathy
Osteopathy is based on the knowledge that the human body forms a single unit, possesses self-healing powers, and that its structure and organs are in constant interaction with each other.
- Phytotherapy
Herbal medicine is one of the oldest medical therapies and is found on all continents and in all cultures. It is based on phytopharmacognosy, which is the study of medicinal plants. However, phytotherapy also includes elements of pharmacology, pharmaceuticals, and toxicology.
- Reflexology
Reflexology is a form of treatment that has also found its way into the wellness sector. Proponents of this method believe that reflexology can complement conventional medical procedures and physiotherapeutic applications in pain therapy and circulatory disorders, as well as supporting an improvement in well-being.
- Cupping
First, people used stone knives to cut into hardened areas on the body's surface (e.g., boils and inflammations) and sucked them out with their mouths and later with the help of cow horns. Cupping with cupping heads was already practiced in Mesopotamia in 3300 BC and by Greek and Egyptian doctors in classical antiquity.
- TCM
Traditional Chinese medicine, TCM, refers to the medical science that has developed in China over more than 2000 years. It comprises the following five sub-disciplines:
1. Drug therapy
2. Acupuncture, moxibustion
3. Nutrition
4. Qigong, Tai Chi
5. Lifestyle counseling
- Compresses/poultices
For minor ailments such as flu-like infections or stomach ache, compresses and poultices can alleviate symptoms and support medical treatment. Moist compresses – particularly calf compresses – are also a tried and tested home remedy for reducing fever. Certain additives, such as vinegar for calf wraps or quark spread finger-thick on a cloth for cold or warm throat wraps, can enhance the soothing effect.
