Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a healing method of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in which fine needles are inserted at specific points on the body (called acupuncture points) to regulate the flow of life energy, Qi. This energy circulates through meridians, or energy channels, that run throughout the body. The goal of acupuncture is to restore the balance between Yin and Yang in the body, to release blockages in the flow of Qi, and thus to promote health and prevent or treat illness.
There are three basic principles of acupuncture:
Qi and Meridians:
In TCM, it is believed that the body is crisscrossed by a network of energy channels, the meridians. Qi, the vital life energy, flows through these channels and controls all physical and mental processes. Illness and pain arise when the flow of Qi is disrupted or blocked.
Yin and Yang:
The harmony of Yin and Yang is crucial for health. Yin and yang are opposing but complementary forces present in all aspects of life and the body. Acupuncture is used to regulate the balance between these forces.
Acupuncture points:
Specific points called acupuncture points are located along the meridians. Each point is associated with specific organs or functions in the body. Inserting needles into these points influences the flow of energy and can relieve symptoms or promote healing.
Chinese herbal therapy
Chinese herbal therapy is one of the most important treatment methods in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is based on the use of plant, animal, and mineral substances for the prevention and treatment of diseases. It is considered one of the oldest and most advanced forms of herbal medicine and has been practiced in China for thousands of years.
Basic Principles of Chinese Herbal Therapy:
Yin and Yang:
Chinese herbal therapy aims to restore or maintain the balance of yin and yang in the body. Medicines can contribute to the harmonization of yin and yang depending on their thermal effect (cooling, warming) or their effect on the body’s energetic processes.
Qi and Xue (Blood):
Qi (vital energy) and Xue (blood) are central concepts in TCM. Medicines are often used to promote the flow of qi, release blockages, or strengthen the flow of qi. In addition, they can tonify, nourish, or circulate stagnant blood.
Five Elements (Wu Xing):
TCM is also based on the theory of the Five Elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water), which govern certain organ functions and energetic processes in the body. Medicines are often selected in relation to these elements to promote balance between the organs.
Thermal and Flavor Properties:
Each medicine in TCM has specific thermal properties (hot, warm, neutral, cool, cold) that are tailored to the patient’s energetic imbalance. For example, cooling medicines are used to treat “heat” conditions such as inflammation or fever, while warming medicines are used for cold sensations and deficiencies.
Flavor properties such as bitter, sweet, sour, pungent, and salty also influence the effects of the medicines. For example, bitter has a drying and depressing effect, while pungent stimulants circulate the Qi.
Effect on the meridians and organs:
Medicines are also selected based on their effect on specific meridians or organs. For example, certain herbs may have a preferential effect on the liver, lungs, or heart, thus specifically addressing specific health problems.
Frequency therapy
Frequency-based therapies are a group of modern naturopathic methods that work with electromagnetic signals to support the body’s self-healing abilities. Every cell in the body communicates through bioelectric signals and subtle frequency patterns. When these signals are disrupted—by stress, toxins, or chronic illness—regulation can become imbalanced.
These therapies aim to detect, influence, or harmonize these signals using either the body’s own frequencies (as in bioresonance or TimeWaver therapy) or through the application of external therapeutic frequencies (as in electroacupuncture or pulsed magnetic field therapy).
The goal is to restore energetic balance, improve cellular function, and promote overall well-being—gently and non-invasively.
