Akupunktur-Praxis Maane (Lachen SZ)

With a second branch in Galgenen at Fuchsweg 14.

Chinese medicine has been known for thousands of years and has proven to be a good complement to conventional medicine. There are 5 methods or specialties: Acupuncture, Chinese drug therapy, dietetics, Tuina massage, Qi Gong. Western medicine considers human diseases as isolated problems. In Ancient Chinese Medicine, the basic idea of which is based on Taoist philosophy, the human being is considered holistically. This includes the consideration of the body, the mind and the soul. Chinese medicine views disease as a disturbance in the harmonious flow of life energy, also called "Qi" or "Chi". Illness is also seen as an individual violation of nature.

Acupuncture treatment aims to rebalance the organism and restore harmony between body, mind and spirit. Chinese medicine encourages individuals to become aware of how they are disturbing the flow of their own nature; to examine their lifestyle, thought patterns, feelings, habits and values.
