Our Protocols

The authentic ancient art of Taoist Acupuncture

Acupuncture

Our most commonly used protocol: using needles to activate or soothe, with deep effects on the psyche, emotional, organic and musculoskeletal (loco-motor) functions.

We use Moxibustion as part of our acupuncture treatments

Cupping

A very popular yet too often misunderstood method, cupping is a very useful tool to evacuate what is incorrect in the body. It can also be used to stimulate or relax.

Cupping is used whenever appropriate as part of our acupuncture teratments or on its own when needed

Moxibustion

The ancient art of Moxibustion predates acupuncture itself. It serves to supplement weak functions or evacuate what doesn’t belong in the body.

The ancient practice of Gua Sha is a great tool to complete an acupuncture treatment

Guasha

Beautiful in its simplicity, Gua Sha is the use of a flat, rounded stone or metal tool on the skin. With the help of just a little oil, it does wonder to relax and free congested areas.

Visceral manipulations are used to directly decongest and unblock digestive organs, providing immediate relief

Visceral Manipulations

Sometimes, organs just get blocked, congested or stuck in the wrong place. This can easily and quickly be relieved with just a few, safe, gentle manipulations, with immediate effects.

Lasers and other non-invasive tools can be used to treat babies and infants as well as hypersisitive subjects

Infrared Heating

In addition to moxibustion, infrared light can be used to provide gentle heat where it is needed. Used appropriately, its proven tissue repair properties can speed up recovery.

Infrared lamps emit light in a specific range that has proven tissue healing effects, as well as feeling relaxing and deeply warming.

Laser and Pifuchen

Mostly used for babies and very young children or ultra-sensitive patients, lasers and Japanese Pifuchen allow effective stimulation of points without needles.

Cosmetic acupuncture is a very effective and natural way to provide lifting and filling - without toxic substances.

Cosmetic Acupuncture
Cellulite Treatment

Using special gold needles, acupuncture is a very effective cosmetic tool for the face. Some protocols also allow very effective treatment of cellulite and jodhpur thighs.
