Gesundheits-Praxis Tuina (Basel)

"Curing a disease that already exists is like digging a well after you get thirsty," says an old Chinese proverb. And so, in the Middle Kingdom, the best doctors were not those who had the most patients, but those who cared for the most healthy people.

The special strength of the treatment forms offered in the health practice Tuina lies in the possibility to recognize and treat energetic disturbances before serious illnesses develop. Thanks to their holistic approach and preventive treatment concept, they occupy an essential place as a complement and extension of Western medicine.

Today's holistic therapies rediscover what ancient physicians already knew: the healing energy of our hands.

The offer includes:

TCM (acupuncture, cupping, moxa, gua sha, tuina/an-mo healing massages, children's tuina, acupressure). Foot reflexology massage Classic body massages (partial or full body) supplemented with trigger point treatments and passive stretches Dorn-Breuss method Hot Stone Massage Reiki

Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM for short, looks back on a tradition that is over 3000 years old. Its holistic approach is based on 5 pillars, namely acupuncture, Tuina-/An-Mo healing massage, herbal medicine, dietetics and Qi-Gong.

Through these different forms of treatment, which are applied individually as well as in combination, the body is induced to reestablish a balance of energies and functions. Disturbances of well-being and function occur long before organ changes, but are not recognized in Western medicine as diseases requiring treatment.

In contrast to our modern, scientifically based, somatic medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine is a functional science. It is centered on the theory of Ying-Yang and the 5 elements.

Diagnosis:

According to the classical rules of TCM, diagnosis is made by looking, asking/hearing, palpating, smelling and by talking to the patient. Looking at the tongue and feeling the pulse are indispensable means for recognizing the disorders. The diagnosis and therapy are determined by the 8 guiding criteria Yin/Yang, fullness/emptiness, inside/outside, heat/cold and the theory of the 5 elements or transformation phases.

Acupuncture Acupressure Tuina-/An-Mo healing massage Acupuncture as well as Tuina-/An-Mo healing massage can be complemented by moxibustion (heat treatment), cupping or Gua Sha (both methods of elimination), e.g. in case of local congestion, beginning colds, etc.).
