TCM ACUPUNCTURE
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been practised since 500 BC. It is today a welldocumented
and clinically applied treatment method worldwide. The World Health Organization
recognizes TCM as a scientific treatment method for a wide range of ailments and symptoms.
During treatment, acupuncture needles are used to affect the flow of nerve impulses, blood, lymph,
and synovial fluids. These flows are collectively known as "Qi". Qi Gong and Tai Chi are physical
practices where you regulate and vitalize flows in your body. Flows of X branches into meridians
that supply all parts of our body with energy. These "meridians" constitute a well-defined and very
complex system which can be compared to our nervous system.
Injuries, diseases, and aging causes irregular and poor circulation. We activate and regulate these
imbalances by means of acupuncture, herbal medicines, moxibustion (heat), cupping, Gua Sha, and
Tui Na (massage).
Mental illness has become more and more common in our high performing, always connected
existence, where increasingly younger people are suffering from the fear
of not being good enough
and ending up in alienation. Totus homo - to see the whole man, and the relation between his body
and soul - is an integral part of Chinese medicine. Since this relation regulates flows this also
includes thought flows, and therefore also spiritual consciousness. In order to regain mental health
TCM treat-
ment of anxiety, stress, and psychosomatic conditions is of great therapeutic help.
