My philosophy
The main component of my work in the practice is traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Apart from being a specialist for internal medicine and a qualified doctor for TCM I am aware that therapies can include Western methods so as to achieve the best results for your requests and complaints.
Within the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) I currently practice the following areas: Body acupuncture, herbalism (phytotherapy) and dietetics.
The treatment of Chinese medicine allows me to examine and question each patient on a highly individual basis and, in consideration of previous diagnoses in Western medicine, together we can devise and carry out a plan of therapy.
Personally I find working with Asian medicine very pleasant as most complaints can be, if not always cured, at any rate eased.
It also gives me the possibility to treat the complaints of patients that could not be diagnosed by Western medicine and therefore can be treated. This type of medicine is also most suitable for accompanying Western methods of treatment and easing complaints and side effects, for example chemotherapy in tumor treatment.
It is important to exchange experiences with colleagues who treat their patients purely with orthodox medicine and already there is constructive cooperation with pediatrics, gynecologists, mid-wives and practical doctors.
My therapeutic specializations
Gynecology
I gladly treat women with specific troubles. Period problems, birth preparation, infertility and menopause are such important matters.
As I myself am a mother I am familiar to the many challenges that women have to endure during pregnancy.
Migraine
For many years acupuncture has been an accepted and effective method of healing many forms of pain. Needle treatment can also help with pulsating and thumping headaches as it is the case with migraine.
In my practice migraine patients are not uncommon. That is why it was possible to gain much experience on this subject and help many patients regain a healthy everyday life.
Muscles and joints
Muscle and joint complaints, as for example back pain, neck tension and joint pain play a large part in my practice.
My knowledge of Western and Eastern medicine complements one another in this area to harmonize muscles, joints and the nervous system.
Accompanying tumor patients
During my specialist training I often took care of oncologic and hematologic patients and accompanied them throughout their therapy.
Thanks to my training in traditional Chinese medicine I have been able to develop my interests and abilities even further.
Nowadays, besides the classical Western methods, I am familiar with the very gentle paths of East Asian healing that can accompany cancer patients during and after their course of therapy in hospital. TCM is suitable for reducing side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, for strengthening the immune systems general health and for increasing the quality of life in general.
Prevention and improving the immune system
Moreover I like working with people who want to prevent illnesses or strengthen their immune system. The main idea of traditional Chinese medicine was illness prevention and this is why a doctor was only allowed to stay at court until a member of the royal family was taken ill.
Diet
In my training as a specialist for internal medicine I specialized early on in diabetes and metabolic diseases.
A healthy diet influences all aspects of one’s health: It eases allergies and helps with indigestion and functional complaints. Let us get to know the food which will do you good.
