Chinese Herbal Medicine is an essential part of TCM. In TCM plant extracts from roots, bark, flowers and foliage, as well as minerals and some animal products are used. Usually, several different herbs and substances are combined with each other. This allows the creation of a medicine, which is adapted to individual conditions and diseases, which can be a so-called Decoction (Tea), a powder or be administered as a pill.

Acupuncture regulates and improves the flow of energy, the Qi. In TCM, the Qi flows within a network of meridians (also known as channels or guiding paths), which connect the acupuncture points as well as the inner organs with each other. The precise needling of an acupuncture point with a metal needle influences and modulates the Qi. The treatment aims to release blockages, to strengthen the flow of Qi and to remove pathogenic Qi from the body. Diseases and pain in particular are mainly caused by a disturbed flow of Qi.

Traditionally, the term acupuncture means classic body acupuncture. In addition to classic body acupuncture, I also use the abdominal acupuncture (belly acupuncture) known as “turtle acupuncture“ acc. to.\ Professor Bo Zhiyun and as „Bakuo“, which was established after long-term research in China.

Moxibustion is a therapy in which acupuncture points are stimulated by heat. The heat is created by burning dry Artemisia herbs (Mugwort/Moxa). This heat is very beneficial and strengthening to the body.

Cupping is a treatment in which stimulation is given by creating a vacuum under cupping glasses (cups). Before placement the glasses are heated to create a vacuum. A therapeutic suction improves perfusion and metabolism. Cupping is preferably used for muscle tension, joint disorders and for treatment of cellulite. Usually glass cups are used for this therapy.
