Acupuncture is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It serves to activate the body’s self-healing powers by influencing various systems of the organism, for example the autonomic nervous system and the immune system.

After a detailed anamnesis discussion and the diagnosis of active acupuncture points on the ear, by means of a stylus, between 3-5 needles are placed. The duration of the application is usually between 15 and 30 minutes. In some cases, very active points are given an ear seed after treatment. Ear seeds are small balls that are attached to a plaster and over which you can practise acupressure yourself until the next appointment in order to further support the therapeutic effect.
