ACUPUNCTURE IS PART OF A MILLENNIA-OLD MEDICINE, TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM). The aim of acupuncture treatment is to regulate the life energy Qi, which flows through the body in the channels called meridians.

Illness is seen as a disturbance in the flow of energy, and so the insertion of very fine steel needles into the acupuncture points serves to harmonize the Qi.

Acupuncture stimulates people's self-healing powers, which promotes health and well-being.

Acupuncture can be supplemented with moxibustion, in which mugwort is burned over individual acupuncture points. A pleasant warmth is felt, which has a relaxing and pain-relieving effect.

Prenatal acupuncture The aim of prenatal acupuncture is to promote the maturation of the cervix and the well-being of the pregnant woman.

Studies have shown that this leads to more efficient contractions, a shorter opening phase and a reduced need for pain medication.

This is started once a week from the 37th week of pregnancy.
