Frequently asked questions
What is traditional Chinese medicine?
TCM is a complete medical system over 2,000 years old, based on the circulation of energy (Qi) and the balance of the five elements. It includes acupuncture, cupping, Chinese dietetics and herbal medicine.
Is acupuncture recognised?
The WHO recognises acupuncture as an effective therapy for many conditions, particularly pain. Numerous PubMed studies confirm its value.
How many TCM sessions are needed?
That depends on your situation. Often 3 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. A thorough diagnosis is made at the first session.
Does TCM replace medical treatment?
No. TCM is a complementary practice that does not replace medical treatment. If in doubt, consult your doctor.
