Nǐ hǎo and welcome to my Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice in the heart of Cologne. I’m Sabine Schmitz, a TCM practitioner (M.Med. TCM, China), Natural health professional, author of the best-selling TCM Dermatology handbook series on Psoriasis, Acne and Rosacea, the first handbook series dedicated specifically to skin diseases outside of China; as well as founder and CEO of CHINAMED COSMETICS, natural, modern skin care with highly potent TCM herbs.
I have been practicing TCM since 2004. In practice, I do specialize in skin diseases (TCM Dermatology), gynecological disorders (TCM Gynecology), and infertility treatment.
With over 30 years of experience, consisting of TCM and various areas of Western medicine, I offer you a medical approach, which is proven but natural, and even more importantly individually tailored to treat your medical condition.
TCM with its manifold treatment modalities provides a clearly structured concept as an alternative or supplement to conventional medicine in a way that is more natural, personalized, and holistic.
