TCM

TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) and classical Chinese medicine are both based on the approximately 4000 year old healing system from ancient China. The basis is formed by the two polarizing and complementary forces Yin and Yang.

Humans are seen as an image of nature, for whom the same laws apply on a small scale as they apply to nature on a large scale. The life energy Qi, which underlies everything living, is of central importance. This energy manifests itself in different densities.

The gross energy forms the material body. The somewhat finer energy flows through the body in energy channels, so-called meridians. Even more subtle energy manifests itself as feelings and thoughts. The energy also manifests itself in one of the 5 transformation phases (elements): wood, fire, earth, metal and water.

In the original, classical medicine, feelings, spirituality and psychology were also heavily involved. Some of this knowledge was deleted from classical medicine by Mao with the revolution in the 1960s - many books were burned. The newly emerging system was called TCM and is now based heavily on herbal medicine and empirical medicine.

Part of classical medicine was taken abroad before the revolution, especially to Vietnam and France, and was thus preserved. In my practice I try to incorporate classical medicine wherever possible.

Acupuncture affects the body's energy flow. The life energy Qi flows through the body in energy channels called meridians. These connect the organs, muscles, bones, etc. with each other, but also have access to our feelings, behavior and trauma. If the flow of energy is blocked or there is too little energy, illnesses can arise.

With the help of acupuncture needles, individual meridians and organs can be targeted via the acupuncture points. The flow of energy is thereby stimulated and harmonized and blockages can be released.

Only sterile, ultra-thin disposable needles are used.

Tuina is a Chinese form of massage. The term Tuina is made up of the Chinese words tui (push) and na (grab, pull). You can influence the flow of energy along the energy pathways using manual techniques. This method is therefore also very suitable for children.

In my practice I combine different massage techniques like Tuina, Thai foot massage, trigger point massage and Shiatsu.

Medicinal mushrooms have been used in mycotherapy (from the Greek Mykes = mushroom) for thousands of years in China for a wide variety of diseases. In the West they became known for their effect in accompanying cancer therapy. They can be used for a variety of diseases, including children, and are also suitable for prevention and as an anti-aging agent. All mushrooms have a detoxifying effect and regulate and strengthen the immune system. ingredients The medicinal mushrooms are rich in valuable ingredients, such as:

- Polysaccharides
- Tripertenes
- Amino acids
- Various vitamins, especially B vitamins
- many other ingredients

Indications:

- Strengthening and regulating the immune system incl. allergies

Origin & Quality:

The mushroom are used in capsules either containing mushroom powder, extract or both combined. The products used in my clinic come from trustworthy manufacturers in Germany. The raw materials are checked for impurities and contamination; The test certificate for each batch can be viewed. This ensures safe and pollutant-free use.

A vacuum is created in a cupping glass using fire or a pump, then the cupping glass is placed on the body, usually on the back.

Formerly known in Europe, this method is still used in China to eliminate diseases from the body.

Moxa refers to the burning of mugwort (Latin: Artemisia vulgaris). Here an acupuncture point is heated either with a mox cigar or directly with moxa herb. This brings heat into the body in a pleasant and effective way. The life energy Qi is stimulated and made to flow.

Moxa is particularly suitable for pain, weakness and cold illnesses and blockages.

Chinese herbal therapy can be used both preventively and for treatment strengthening the organism as well as for acute and chronic diseases. The herbal mixtures are individually tailored to the patient and his needs.

Chinese medicines contain plant (leaves, branches, root parts, stems, seeds, flowers), mineral and, in exceptional cases, animal substances. The herbs are taken in the form of decoctions (tea), herbal drops, spagyrics, granules (powder) or as tablets.

In my clinic I am working mainly with the medical mushrooms out of the Chinese herbal therapy.
