Acupuncture and TCM Practice
 
Health depends on a balance between the opposing forces of yin and yang. The interaction of yin and yang, cold and warm, passive and active, creates a kind of life energy known as qi (chi). If its energy flow is disrupted (e.g., by emotions, injuries, cold, etc.), blockages arise, which can manifest themselves in the form of pain or even illness.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the targeted therapeutic manipulation of bodily functions via specific points on the body's surface, known as acupuncture points. By inserting needles at different depths into the acupuncture points, the circulation of qi is balanced and certain organ systems are stimulated or calmed.

Laser acupuncture
Laser acupuncture is painless and therefore ideal for children and people who are afraid of needles.
 
Ear acupuncture
Ear acupuncture is often used to support normal acupuncture.
The entire body is represented on the ear. Ear acupuncture can be treated with acupuncture needles or with seeds and pellets, which are stuck onto the corresponding points.
 
Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a technique used by many Asian families as a "home remedy" for the first signs of illness. It involves stimulating the skin with a rounded object or a flat piece of buffalo horn using scraping, stroking movements. Gua Sha is used in Chinese medicine for acute and chronic illnesses and pain conditions. The effect is similar to cupping.
 
Moxibustion
Heat is applied to specific acupuncture points using glowing mugwort. Moxa is used in addition to acupuncture for cold-related illnesses.
 
Cupping
In cupping, the points are stimulated with cupping glasses. The resulting suction stimulates blood circulation and releases energy blockages.
