Expats & International Patients
Welcome
Holistic Medicine & TCM in Berlin
Welcome to my practice. If you are looking for a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner who is also a fully qualified medical doctor and licensed general practitioner, you have come to the right place.
Having practiced as an accident & emergency doctor within the NHS (National Health Service) in England and Scotland for many years, I am fully fluent in medical English. I understand how challenging it can be to navigate the German healthcare system, which is why I am pleased to offer my consultations, diagnoses, and treatments entirely in English as well as in German.
My Philosophy
Natural Balance
My practice logo features the Chinese character for Harmony and Naturalness. This philosophy guides my chinese medical treatments. While modern Western medicine is often essentially important for highly acute medical conditions, Traditional Chinese Medicine offers exceptionally effective solutions for many functional disorders and chronic issues – also addressing the root causes of a disease.
Typical Indications:
Typical clinical indications treated at my practice include: acute & chronic pain (headaches & migraines, back issues, body aches & pains of all kinds), allergies, stress related issues, fatigue, digestive problems (Irritable Bowel Syndrome, functional disorders, crohns disease, ulcerative colitis), fatigue, insomnia, gynaecological conditions (dysmenorrhoea, infertility, menopause problems such as hot flashes, irregular periods, sleep loss, mood shifts, dryness problems), common cold and viral infections and many other conditions.
If you are unsure whether Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is suited to your health issues, please feel free to contact me with your inquiry.
Treatments Offered
To help restore your body’s natural energy flow (Qi) and inner balance, I offer tailored treatments including:
Acupuncture
This treatment involves inserting fine needles into the body to clear energetic blockages, stimulate the free flow of Qi, and restore the body's natural balance.)
Classical Chinese Herbal Medicine
Custom-tailored formulas, composed primarily of Chinese medicinal plants and minerals, regulate your body from within and strengthen your vital energy (Qi). The herbs can be prepared and taken as a traditional decoction (herbal tea), as granules dissolved in warm water, or in tablet form.
Cupping & Gua Sha treatments
-
Cupping (Vacuum Method) By creating a vacuum on the skin, cupping deeply stimulates blood circulation, activates lymphatic flow, and releases stubborn muscle tension as well as energetic stagnations.
-
Gua Sha (Scraping Method) This traditional skin-surface stimulation therapy promotes tissue microcirculation, activates metabolism, and mobilizes the body's own immune defenses.
Nutritional Counseling
A diet adapted to your energetic constitution forms the foundation for daily regeneration and prevents new imbalances from arising. Based on the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements theory, Chinese dietetics helps to optimize your nutritional habits.
