to the website of my office for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Greifswalder Str. in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg (please see → “Contact” for details).
Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the oldest holistic treatment systems in the world and has been practiced without interruption since approx. 2,500 years. TCM therapies result from the joint efforts of hundreds of thousands of medical minds along history, treating, improving and reporting results from their daily experiences with patients.
In my therapeutic approach, I combine acupuncture, herbal therapy, nutrition and medicinal massage (Tuina) with modern knowledge on human physiology and pathology. By integrating ancient medical practices with modern scientific knowledge, it is my aim to treat illness and ailments in the most effective way, including pain syndromes, physiological imbalances and functional problems.
Depending on your medical history and health state, you can be treated solely by the therapies of TCM or you can combine western medicine treatments with e.g. acupuncture, nutrition and medical massage. If you select → “indications” on the menu of this webpage, you can consult a list of symptoms and illnesses for which TCM has been applied successfully.
For more information about the TCM therapies I offer in my office and their prices, please consult the menu point → “Therapies & Prices”.
