Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an essential component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves influencing the flow of energy in the meridians using sterile, hair-thin needles. Additionally, acupuncture can affect the internal organs as they are interconnected with the meridians. Its effectiveness is based on millennia of experience, and it is applied to a wide range of conditions such as pain (headaches, backaches, joint pain), tinnitus, fatigue, burnout or depression, menstrual problems, allergies, and gastrointestinal issues. A detailed list of indications can be found below.

Through Auriculomedicine (ear acupuncture) and acupuncture according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), many ailments or illnesses can be successfully treated. However, as holistic medicine is most effective when complemented by conventional medicine, I value collaboration with general practitioners and specialists.
