Acupuncture

Acupuncture influences the flow of Qi with its needles. The defined acupuncture points, which according to TCM theory are located on 12 meridians (energy pathways), are pricked and stimulated with fine needles in a differentiated manner to treat the ailments. In 1980, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended acupuncture for 43 different diseases.

The Tuina Massage

Tuina massage uses more than 20 different techniques, such as pushing, prodding, squeezing, pinching. The therapist acts directly on certain acupuncture points with his hands and elbows. The stimulated blood circulation of the body has a beneficial effect on pain and tension. Certain grips of the Tuina massage are comparable to the manipulations used in chiropractic.

Cupping

In cupping, a negative pressure is created in so-called cupping glasses. These cupping glasses are placed directly on the skin with the idea of using the negative pressure to achieve an elimination of harmful substances through the skin.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion refers to the process of additional heating of dried, fine mugwort fibers (moxa) burned on or over the specific therapeutic points located on the meridians. Blocked energies are released and can flow again. At the same time, blood circulation is stimulated. On certain parts of the body, the procedure produces a pleasant warmth.

The phytotherapy

Within Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbal medicine occupies an important position with over 13,000 documented medicinal plants. In Switzerland, Chinese phytotherapy uses 150 to 250 plants and plant parts as medicines. Thanks to the Swiss company complemedis, these herbal medicines can be obtained in Switzerland in tested and high quality.
