TREATMENTS

Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that supports overall well-being while addressing specific health concerns. It is highly effective for a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, chronic fatigue, pain, allergies, asthma, colds and flu, sexual dysfunction, infertility, arthritis, migraines, tendinitis, musculoskeletal disorders, digestive issues, high blood pressure, addiction, smoking cessation, weight management, skin conditions, hair loss, and more. By stimulating key points in the body, acupuncture helps restore balance, promote the flow of energy (Qi), and support the body’s natural healing abilities.

Traditionele Acupunctuur
Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a core treatment of traditional Chinese medicine in which thin needles are placed on specific points of the body. This stimulates the flow of energy (Qi), improves circulation, and supports the body’s self-healing ability. Acupuncture can be applied for pain, stress, sleep problems, digestive complaints, and to improve overall health and balance.

Cupping therapie
Cupping

Cupping is an ancient Chinese treatment in which glass or silicone cups are placed on the skin. By creating a vacuum, blood flow is stimulated and tension is released. Cupping helps remove stagnation, improves the flow of energy (Qi), and supports the body’s relaxation and recovery.
 

Electo-acupunctuur
Electro-acupuncture

Electro-acupuncture is a modern form of acupuncture in which a gentle electrical current is applied through the needles. This enhances the stimulation of acupuncture points, promotes circulation, and relaxes muscles. It is often used for pain, muscle tension, nerve pain, and recovery of the musculoskeletal system.

Moxa, or moxibustion, is a traditional Chinese treatment in which the herb mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) is gently heated over specific acupuncture points. The warmth penetrates deeply into the body, stimulates the flow of Qi and blood, and strengthens the body’s self-healing ability. Moxa is often used for fatigue, coldness in the body, digestive complaints, and to support overall vitality.

(Auriculo) Ear-acupuncture

Ear acupuncture is a specialized form of acupuncture where the ear is used as a microsystem of the entire body. By placing small needles or seeds on specific points in the ear, the nervous system can be balanced.

World Health Organization (WHO) on Acupuncture

 

The use of acupuncture has been shown to effectively treat many types of conditions. In 2003 the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) released a report called “Acupuncture: Review and Analysis of Reports on Controlled Clinical Trials.” Below you will see a list of the conditions mentioned in that report.

Please note that there are plenty of additional conditions which centuries of empirical data have shown acupuncture treats effectively but for which there is little or no modern western research.
