Treatment methods

Shiatsu and Tuina use various massage techniques and acupressure to simulate specific acupoints and to strengthen weak meridians as well as resolve stagnations throughout the body. 

Chinese phytotherapy can be used as a separate form of treatment or in combination with acupuncture or acupressure. Herbs can increase the effect of the treatment and ensure a long lasting effect.

With ultra-thin needles and stimulation of strategic points in the body the flow of Qi and blood can be improved and blockages resolved to mantain physical and emotional balance.

During Moxabustion acupoints or entire meridians are activated through heat. Small amounts of the herb Artemisia argyi, wormwood, are burned. The heating increases the flow of qi and blood at local points or large areas.

In the Chinese tradition, food has a nutritional, but also healing effect on the body, meaning it can be used to relieve symptoms and achieve a healthy balance. According to Chinese nutrition food is categorized in the same way as medical herbs and used as supplement in the treatment, depending on the individual diagnosis.

With the help of different-sized cups a vacuum is created on the skin which causes local swelling of the tissues and blood vessels. Thus the flow of blood and Qi in this area is enhanced and existing blockages and symptoms can be relieved.
