is a Chinese healing method that is thousands of years old. Each patient is treated individually and a "tailor-made" therapy is offered that encompasses the whole person. The treatment is performed by placing thin needles on specific acupuncture points. The self-healing powers are activated and the polar forces in the body are balanced - health and well-being are promoted in a natural way.

Technical aspect

Each of the approximately 400 clearly defined acupuncture points have an exact position on the body and a specific area of effect. Many points are divided into groups that have similar effects. For example, each channel has five element points. The grounding point on the kidney channel has some similarity to the grounding point on the lung channel. Both relate to the element of earth; therefore, both strengthen and release moisture (see the five elements). They also have differences: the grounding point on the kidney pathway is used more when the disease or energetic disharmony pattern occurs in the kidney functional circuit, while the grounding point on the lung pathway acts more on the kidney pathway functional circuit lung.

The choice of points and the number of needles depend on the Chinese diagnosis, the treatment strategy, the patient's condition and the therapist's intuition. Needle and stimulation techniques as well as the pricking height also have an influence.
