Wattwil TCM Chen

At TCM Chen's practice, we offer a wide range of Chinese medicine treatment methods. Therapist Zhijun Chen will put together a holistic therapy program for the individual treatment of your symptoms.

What we offer:

- Acupuncture: Acupuncture is probably the best-known treatment method in Chinese medicine (TCM). It involves inserting very fine needles (0.2-0.3 mm in diameter) into the skin at specific acupuncture points. Acupuncture can thus directly influence the flow of energy in the body.

- Ear acupuncture: Small plasters with a seed are applied to apply local pressure to specific acupuncture points. These can be worn for a few days and thus have a longer effect.

- Electroacupuncture: With the help of a device, traditional acupuncture can be enhanced by a slight electrical pulse.

- Cupping: Cupping is an important part of holistic TCM treatment and has proven itself as an alternative healing method. It stimulates blood circulation so that toxins can be eliminated.

- Tuina massage: Tuina massage is a medical massage that is usually used in combination with other traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods. It releases blockages and tension and stimulates energy flow.

- Phytotherapy: Phytotherapy , or herbal medicine, is often an important supplement to TCM treatment.

- Moxibustion (moxa): Moxibustion is sometimes used to complement acupuncture. This involves using moxa sticks, which are made from rolled or charred mugwort. Once lit, these sticks burn slowly and can be used to stimulate specific acupuncture points with heat.

- TCM nutritional counseling: In Chinese medicine, it is assumed that all foods have different qualities such as warm, cold, moist, and dry. It is important to find a balance here to support the therapy.
