Our TCM Treatment Methods

In our practice in Zurich, we offer a comprehensive range of established methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine. All treatments are individually tailored to your symptoms, constitution, and current state of health.

The aim of all therapies is to harmonize the body’s natural flow of energy, release blockages, and support the body’s self-regulating capacity. We combine traditional methods with a modern, integrative medical approach.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the core therapies of Traditional Chinese Medicine. By inserting fine needles into specific points, the flow of energy in the body is regulated, the nervous system is calmed, and the body’s self-regulation is supported. It is commonly used for pain, stress, functional disorders, and chronic conditions.

Tuina Massage
Tuina massage is a therapeutic manual treatment that uses pressure, stretching, and mobilization techniques. It helps release muscular tension, improve energy flow, and harmonize the musculoskeletal system. Tuina is especially used for muscle tension, pain, and functional restrictions.

Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses negative pressure to create a therapeutic stimulus on the skin and underlying tissue. This promotes blood circulation, stimulates metabolism, and helps relieve muscle tension. It is often used for back and neck pain as well as for general relaxation.

Gua Sha
Gua Sha is a traditional scraping technique in which the skin is treated with a smooth-edged tool. This stimulates local circulation and metabolic processes and helps release muscular tension. It is commonly used for pain, stiffness, and functional complaints.

Moxibustion
Moxibustion is a heat therapy in which dried mugwort is gently burned near acupuncture points. The heat penetrates deeply into the tissue, strengthens the body’s functions, and is especially used for cold-related conditions, fatigue, and chronic complaints.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is based on individually tailored formulas made from plant, mineral, and natural substances. It has a regulating effect on the entire organism and is used to treat internal imbalances, chronic conditions, and functional disorders.

Holistic Treatment Approach
All methods are not used in isolation but as part of a holistic treatment concept. Depending on the diagnosis, they are combined to achieve a sustainable improvement in health.

Important Information
The methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine can provide valuable support for many conditions. However, they do not replace medical diagnosis or necessary conventional medical treatment and are often used as a complementary therapy.
