FAQ

1.How does acupuncture work?
In Acupuncture and TCM theory, some problems are caused by the blockage of meridian channels. Acupuncture can stimulate the meridian points to re-open the channels so that the body can correct its problems.

Some modern scientific research has also proved that acupuncture can also adjust the functions of systems in the body to improve its ability to fight diseases.

2.How does Chinese medicine work?
In TCM theory, it is most important that the body keeps Yin and Yang forces; Qi energy flow; blood and fluid flow in balance – otherwise problems occur.

Chinese herbal medicine is about achieving a balance throughout the body – balancing the Qi energy flow, blood and fluid flow and Yin and Yang opposites.
