Drug Therapy

A Chinese drug is Chinese because it is classified according to very specific properties. These include the taste, the temperature and the meridian or organ affiliation. Based on these properties, the medicines are assigned certain functions according to the theories of TCM.
There are about 1000 different medicines of which about half are used frequently. In order to meet the complex circumstances of the respective complaints, the doctor prescribes individual mixtures and formulations.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an external therapy. Via specific points on the body, it specifically influences the various bodily functions.
About 360 classical acupuncture points are known, which are located on the body meridians. The doctor selects several points to achieve a beneficial effect for the treatment.
Depending on the part of the body, the needle is inserted from a few millimeters to a few centimeters deep. When the needle is inserted, a slight tugging or a fine electrical sensation may be felt, indicating to the doctor that the point sought has been hit.

Laserneedle (Laser Acupuncture)

The special LASERNEEDLE technology focuses a weak low level laser and brings its radiation directly to the point of application through special flexible optics. This results in an extremely high luminance, which stimulates the biological regeneration processes in the tissue without thermal side effects.
The laser light works:

• regenerative
• analgesic
• anti-inflammatory
• anti-edematous
• antibacterial

LASERNEEDLE therapy is used, among others, for the following complaints:

• tendonitis (e.g. Achilles tendon)
• muscle injuries
• neck and back pain
• pain after operations
• arthroses
• disorders during healing of bone fractures
• rheumatic joint diseases
• osteoporosis
• wound healing (also postoperative)

In addition, it supports faster regeneration after sports activity. The therapy is non-invasive, painless and there are no known side effects.

Tuina Massage

Tuina is the traditional Chinese massage and is often called 'Chinese chiropractic'. Tuina is the original form of Shiatsu and Acupressure, which are also known in China. It uses special hand techniques and manipulations such as pushing, stroking, pressing, rubbing, tapping, clapping and vibrating.
A Tuina massage must always be preceded by a thorough diagnosis. Only in this way can it be determined which energetic disturbances are causing disharmony, where the blockages are and where the causes lie.
Especially children and babies show a great responsiveness to Tuina. In this way, numerous clinical pictures can be treated effectively without having to intervene directly in the body.

Moxibustion

Moxa is the name of a medicinal plant Artemisia vulgaris, better known as mugwort, which is native to both Asia and Europe. In moxibustion, additional heat is applied to the acupuncture points. Burning moxa generates heat, which is either conducted into the depths of the tissue via the needle, or the moxa is burned close to the surface of the skin and thus warms the respective body points from the outside.

Cupping

Cupping is one of the oldest medical applications and is a classic method of purification known in both the East and the West. Cupping glasses are placed on the skin, mainly on the back. A vacuum is created and the blood is sucked into the skin. Here, too, the aim is to positively influence the energy flow and to positively stimulate the circulation of blood and lymph. Cupping is also suitable for loosening stuck fasciae. Even if partially, visible hematomas arise, cupping is often felt by the patients as very pleasant. For the regeneration of maximally stressed or injured muscles, cupping has recently become very popular among competitive athletes.

Dietetics

Chinese dietetics describes not the content but the effect of a food. This means that calories, protein and fat content or carbohydrates do not play a role, but that a food is defined by its temperature (cold to hot), by its taste (salty to spicy) and by its energetic effect.
A balanced diet according to Chinese principles, promotes body harmony, energy flow and therefore has a preventive effect or supports the healing process.

QiGong

Qi Gong is a mixed form of Chinese breathing therapy as well as concentration and meditation therapy. Special physical exercises keep the energy flow in motion, which according to TCM is essential for health. Congestion and blockages of energy can cause disease. The therapy aims at regulating the energy flow and thus strengthens body and mind.
Related forms of Qi Gong are also Tai Chi and Kung Fu.
