Traditional Chinese Medicine

Acupuncture is a reflex therapy and restores the flow in the meridians and thus the function of the individual functional circuits through targeted action on certain points on the body. Triggering these reflex zones leads to control mechanisms in the brain, which in turn have an effect on certain regions of the body. 

Moxibustion is the targeted heating of pathways and body regions using mugwort, which is heated over the acupuncture needles. According to the Chinese, the majority of illnesses are caused by “cold”. This causes reactions in the body, such as “as if one had been exposed to cold”. Stress, accidents, trauma or medication can trigger such conditions. “Cold” is used as an image. However, it can also be real cold. Moxibustion increases the microcirculation in the tissues and thus increases the flow in the pathways.

Cupping is also used to increase blood flow to individual tissue areas in the body. Here, a vacuum is created in a glass, which sucks in individual areas of skin and thus increases blood flow.

Pharmacotherapy plays a very important role in TCM. There are over 10,000 classic formulas in which various herbs, minerals and other organic ingredients are combined in finely tuned doses to make teas. The dried raw ingredients are first soaked in water and then boiled together over a longer period of time. They work together like cogwheels in a clockwork mechanism and thus unfold their effect.

A recipe individually adapted to your condition will be sent to your home. You will receive instructions on how to prepare it.

This important area of TCM is of great significance, as we eat our food regularly and therefore have the opportunity to improve our health and vitality in the long term by simply changing our diet.

In TCM, every food has a certain direction of action, a certain temperature behavior, a functional circuit reference and a tendency to act.

For example, when we drink peppermint tea, the peppermint has a cold temperature behavior compared to the cinnamon in chai tea, which has a hot temperature behavior. Both teas are hot on the outside and yet they have a different effect on the body.

In my practice, you will be given simple recommendations that will bring about positive changes in your well-being in the long term. In practice, it has been shown that a simple change in diet often achieves more than a detailed and rigid change, as this is often difficult to maintain in our active and structured western world.

Tuina therapy uses various grips and massage techniques that target blockages in the respective body regions and pathways according to the previously established Chinese diagnosis and restore the flow and function of these. The effect is achieved primarily through reflexes.

Qi Gong translates as “working with Qi”. Gong means to work in Chinese.

In Qi Gong, people hold various postures and move their bodies slowly. Over time, they learn to move and modulate the flow of Qi in their body independently by concentrating on certain areas of the body and their breathing. This leads to more vitality and balance.

Life becomes more fluid and it feels as if many things are happening by themselves.

Many people in industrialized countries experience inner restlessness and restlessness. This is often due to too much movement in the upper third of the body. Qi Gong helps to direct the Qi specifically into the lower third of our body, which leads to more grounding and inner stability.

In my practice, you will be given individual exercises that you can do regularly at home.
