TREATMENTS

Japanese acupuncture focuses on constitutional imbalances and how they may relate to current symptoms. Treatment combines a “root treatment” to support overall balance with targeted “branch treatments” for specific complaints. The pulse, abdomen (Hara) and meridians are assessed and checked again during the session. This allows the treatment to be adjusted individually while taking the body’s response into account.

Five Element constitutional acupuncture is based on the elements Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood. It considers physical, emotional and mental aspects as interconnected and looks at the person as a whole. The aim is to identify and treat individual constitutional imbalances. In this way, treatment can support greater inner balance and help strengthen overall wellbeing.

Tuina massage is a hands-on treatment method used in Chinese medicine. It is especially suitable for muscular tension, postural strain, sports injuries and other musculoskeletal complaints. Targeted pressure, massage and mobilisation techniques are used to work with muscles and joints. Tuina can be used for both adults and children and combines well with acupuncture.

Moxibustion is a warming therapy used in Chinese medicine, in which moxa made from dried mugwort is applied to selected areas. The heat can support circulation, relax muscles and complement the treatment of certain complaints. Okyu, also known as rice grain moxa, is a Japanese technique using very small amounts of high-quality moxa wool applied precisely to specific points.

Auricular acupuncture, also known as auriculotherapy, uses specific points on the ear to support treatment. The ear is viewed as a microsystem that reflects different areas of the body. Depending on the treatment goal, fine needles, ear seeds or small metal beads may be used. The method combines well with acupuncture and other approaches used in Chinese medicine.

Cupping and Gua Sha are traditional methods used in Chinese medicine. In cupping, cups are placed on the skin to stimulate local circulation and work on areas of muscular tension. Gua Sha uses gentle scraping movements across the skin and is often applied to tight or tense muscles. Both methods can be used alongside acupuncture as part of an individual treatment plan.

Mycotherapy uses selected medicinal mushrooms as a complementary approach within holistic treatment. Medicinal mushrooms have a long tradition in Chinese medicine and contain naturally occurring compounds such as polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals. Depending on the individual situation, they may be used alongside other treatments to support general wellbeing and the body's natural regulatory processes.
