Traditional Chinese medicine: what to know

Traditional Chinese medicine is a therapeutic approach based on a holistic view of the body's balance. The practitioner carries out an assessment, including observation and pulse reading, and then offers acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Tuina massage or lifestyle advice alongside conventional medicine.

When to book an appointment

• Recurring tension, muscle or joint pain
• Fatigue, stress or sleep that does not feel restful
• Functional digestive complaints or seasonal discomfort
• Wanting complementary support alongside medical care

Costs in Switzerland

In Switzerland, traditional Chinese medicine sessions are generally covered by supplementary insurance, provided the practitioner is recognised by your insurer.
