Schambeck Katia (Genthod)

I qualified in acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in 2001, after completing 6 years of training at the Institut supérieur de médecine chinoise Guang Ming (ISMC). I offer acupuncture and/or herbal medicine sessions based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

The scope of TCM is very broad. However, this approach does not claim to cure everything. It is therefore important to know how to prescribe it as a primary or complementary treatment. This is why a prior medical diagnosis is sometimes required, in order to rule out a serious pathology.

However, here is a non-exhaustive list of cases for which Traditional Chinese Medicine can be highly effective:

• Rhinitis, coughs, sinusitis, hay fever, laryngitis, pharyngitis, nasal bleeding, aphonia.
• Tinnitus, Meniere's syndrome, hearing loss, recurrent ear infections.
• Insomnia, hypersomnia, anxiety, agitation, stress, poor memory, depression, nervous tension, vertigo.
• Pain (epigastric, abdominal, lumbar, joint, etc.), headaches.
• Carpal tunnel syndrome, osteoporosis, torticollis, tendonitis, sciatica.
• Bad breath, lack of appetite, flatulence, difficult digestion, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, mouth ulcers.
• Photophobia, conjunctivitis, dryness, redness or pruritus of the eye, reduced visual acuity.
• Dysmenorrhea, amenorrhea, menstrual syndrome, heavy periods, leucorrhea, menopause, post-partum (dizziness, constipation, exhaustion, body aches after childbirth), sterility, benign breast cyst, vaginal mycosis, pregnancy follow-up.
• Recurrent cystitis, urinary incontinence, enuresis, cloudy urine, dysuria.
• Urticaria, eczema, pruritus, shingles, acne, boils.
• Hypoglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, anemia, gout, edema, obesity.
• Palliative care
• Etc.

For people who can't come to the practice, I'm happy to come to your home, EMS, clinic or birthing center.

Sessions are reimbursed by most complementary insurance companies.
