TCM & ACUPUNCTURE
The path to healing through meridians
Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is based on the body's vital energies (Qi), which circulate along defined longitudinal pathways, the meridians, and exert a controlling influence on all bodily functions.
It is based on the teachings of Yin and Yang and uses three methods:
1. Inserting needles into the acupuncture points
2. Warming the points (moxibustion)
3. Massage of the points (acupressure)
Acupuncture and acupressure are proven healing methods in traditional Chinese medicine. They help promote balance in the body and activate the body's self-healing powers.
Acupuncture uses fine needles to specifically release energy blockages and harmonize the natural flow of energy. It is often used to treat pain, stress, and sleep disorders.
Acupressure uses pressure on specific body points to achieve similar effects to acupuncture, only without needles. It's a gentle, easy-to-use method, even suitable for sensitive individuals.
Both therapies support general well-being and can help with many ailments.
Regular acupressure massages of the affected areas can improve symptoms and help muscles regenerate. Massages can also help prevent muscle and joint pain in the long term.
Stay in balance
Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM for short, has been an important part of Chinese culture for over 5,000 years. It teaches that all opposing forces in nature and in the human body should remain in balance.
Yin & Yang
In TCM, we speak of yin (shadow) and yang (sunlight). These two opposites are closely connected and interdependent. The balance between yin and yang plays a crucial role in human well-being. Therefore, recognizing a yin-yang imbalance is the foundation of any diagnosis, and balancing it is the basis of therapy.
