The eye acupuncture

Eye acupuncture is a special, unique and extremely efficient method against various eye diseases, which was discovered by Prof. John Boel from Denmark. It is not classical Chinese acupuncture, but a special treatment system.

• Prof. John Boel has been running an acupuncture clinic for 23 years and has been involved in eye acupuncture for about 20 years. During his long practice and research he has always found new acupuncture points that lead to extremely surprising results in the treatment of eye diseases.

  The treatment points are mainly the finger and toe joints. The placement of the needles instantly activates a healing process in which hormones and other healing substances reach the disturbed area through the bloodstream.

  With eye acupuncture according to Prof. J. Boel, the following medically diagnosed eye diseases can be treated

Application areas:

Macular degeneration (age-related blindness) Retinitis Pigmentosa Various retinal diseases Ocular infarction (eye thrombosis) Presbyopia Glaucoma Cataract (at the initial station) Visual disturbances after accidents or operations dry or watery eyes Retinal disease due to diabetes (diabetic retinopathy) Viral disease of the eyes (e.g. herpes of the eye) Myopia in children up to 20 years of age Computer vision syndrome (CVS)

Although not all eye diseases can be completely cured. However, most eye diseases can be greatly alleviated or the progression of the disease can be slowed down. Often, the existing vision can not only be preserved, but even improved. Only myopia and cataracts in advanced stages can be treated to a limited extent. Eye acupuncture is a useful supplement to the classic conventional medical eye treatment at your ophthalmologist.

**The diagnosis

Diagnosis is the most important part in Chinese medicine. It consists of four principles:

• Inquiry
• Complaints, eating habits, sensation of heat or warmth in the body, numbness, dizziness, sleep, family, social situation and x-rays.
• Viewing.
• Face, posture, movement, shape
• Hearing and smelling
• Breathing, coughing, voice, smell of excretions.
• Examination
• Pulse: rapid, slow, full, empty, deep, superficial Tongue: coating, color, moist, dry

Through diagnosis, the whole body image of the person can be determined and the pathological factors of the disease or diseases can be detected at an early stage. This allows Traditional Chinese Medicine to promote health already preventively and individually with specific measures.
The human organism is considered as an organic unit. "Health" means the ability of man to maintain his inner harmony. Diseases are due to a disturbance of the harmonious flow of Qi and the Yin/Yang balance.

Tuina Massage

Tuina massage is the traditional Chinese massage based on various massage techniques. It is primarily suitable for musculoskeletal complaints. It uses special hand techniques and special manipulations.

• This massage is especially effective for musculoskeletal disorders, but it can also be used for many other ailments such as osteoarthritis, after injuries, for tension, in rehabilitation and prevention, and much more. It is also very suitable for the people who are afraid of the needles.

  It is also very suitable for the small children in case of loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, insomnia, constipation, cough and cold, because it is a special gentle healing massage.

**Herbal therapy

Chinese herbal therapy is an essential form of therapy in TCM. In China, more than 3000 substances of plant (roots, barks, flowers and leaves), animal and mineral origin are used. The herbs are classified according to special criteria: they are arranged differently according to taste, thermal property, meridian/organ reference, special effect and indication.

• Herbal therapy is also based on the principle of Yin/ Yang and the five elements. It targets the individual causes of illness, the main symptoms and ultimately harmonizes the body's energy. Thus, it enables successful treatment of many ailments. It is very suitable for both chronic and acute illness.

Moxibustion

The Chinese word " 针灸 " for acupuncture consists of two characters. The first character 针 means "acupuncture" and the second character 灸 means "moxibustion". This is a spot heat treatment that is often combined with acupuncture.

• Dried and pressed medicinal herbs of mugwort are used for moxibustion. The burned herb produces heat and stimulates blood and qi flow. The moxa stick is either attached to an acupuncture needle or held by hand near the meridian point. Special heat lamps can also be used instead of moxa sticks. Patients experience a pleasant feeling of warmth that goes under the skin. This expels so-called pathological factors such as wind, cold and mucus from our body. The warming of the meridians also leads to the improved flow of blood and Qi.

  The success in correcting the breech of the baby in the womb by moxibustion is clinically proven with high rate.

**Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the best known Chinese healing methods. The acupuncture points are 365 very specific points on the 12 meridians, the pathways, through which the flow of Qi and thus the function of all organs can be influenced.

• An impairment of Qi and an imbalance of Yin and Yang leads to disease. There can be a too strong or too weak life energy. A blockage of the life energy Qi can cause pain and disease.

  Acupuncture aims to restore the balance between yin and yang so that the life energy qi can flow throughout the body without stagnation.

The Children Tuina Massage

The Chinese Children's Massage is a branch of Chinese Medicine. It is also called the Children's Tuina Massage. But since the meridians run differently in children than in adults, a special Tuina technique is applied according to the child's development. It is a very gentle healing massage, which is successful without side effects in a wide variety of complaints of small patients.

• Tuina, in contrast to Western massage techniques, requires a thorough Chinese diagnosis. This allows us to determine the energetic disturbance that is causing the disharmony and the pathogenic factors to which it can be attributed.

  Children's massage is suitable for fever, cold, cough, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, cramps, diarrhea, constipation, restlessness, sleep disorders, bedwetting, asthma, allergies, hay fever.

Cupping

Cupping is an ancient form of therapy. Cupping balls are used in this form of therapy. A cupping ball is a small, round glass with an opening. By heating, the air in the glass ball is displaced, creating a vacuum when it cools. This causes a strong suction stimulus on the cupped body part and thus stimulates blood circulation. Cupping stimulates the human body's ability to defend itself against disease and expels disease-causing factors such as cold, mucus, heat, stagnant qi. By moving the vacuumed cupping heads, a massage effect and a stimulation of the lymph flow can also be achieved.

• Application: For back pain, headaches, shoulder / arm syndrome, neck pain or simply as a preventive measure so that tensions can not settle in the first place.

  The treatment is suitable for people of all ages. Due to the strong suction reflex, bruises (hematomas) may appear, but they are harmless and disappear by themselves after a few days.

The laser acupuncture

Laser acupuncture uses "gentle" laser beams and are virtually imperceptible yet highly effective. They are not to be confused with surgical lasers which, in contrast, have an ablative or tissue-destructive effect.

• The gentle laser beams specifically ensure that blood circulation is increased. In addition, pain-relieving messenger substances can be activated, among other things.

  Laser acupuncture has been used successfully in medicine for over two decades. Originally developed for painless acupuncture (laser light instead of metal needles), the procedure is now used for numerous diseases.

  There are now over one hundred studies and publications in respected journals demonstrating the efficacy and effectiveness of laser acupuncture. For example, in 2009 the renowned journal The Lancet published a meta-study on the topic of "Laser for neck pain". In this study, the low-energy laser beams used in laser therapy performed better than painkilling drugs, and without any undesirable side effects.

  Laser acupuncture is particularly suitable for the treatment of children and people who are afraid of needles.

Application areas:

Pain therapy: headaches/migraines, back pain, joint pain, fibromyalgia orthopedics/sports medicine: osteoarthritis, rheumatic diseases, edema, strains, tennis elbow Dermatology/allergy treatment: acne, herpes, neurodermatitis, wound healing disorders, allergies Neurology: headache/migraine, sensory disturbances, trigeminal neuralgia, phantom limb pain, paralysis (after stroke) Digestive problems: constipation, abdominal pain, diarrhea Women's diseases: Menstrual disorders

Undiagnosable diseases and in children also many other complaints

Qi Gong Health

• This experience of unity is made possible through exercises that lead to the harmonization of QI, the energy of life. This is to strengthen the life energy, prolong life and restore joyful vitality.
  QIGONG is suitable for all ages, healthy as well as sick people can easily learn and perform the exercises with the help of a properly trained teacher.
