Acupuncture & Moxa Therapy 
The oldest and most widespread therapy in the world 

Classical acupuncture is a regulatory therapy, i. e. it approaches the question of how the illness or the symptom actually came about. The treatment, which is carried out with fine, sterile needles, removes blockages that have built up in the organism. Stimulation of the acupuncture points influences disorders within the body. This method is not only applicable to disease patterns such as allergies, psychosomatic disorders, migraine or insomnia; it is also highly suitable as preventative medicine, stimulating the body's functions and boosting the immune system, for example.

Moxa therapy (also know as moxibustion) with mugwort, serves to reanimate the metabolism. After treatment the patient experiences a new sense of lightness and wellbeing, one reason why this form of therapy is enjoying increasing popularity worldwide.

Areas of aplication:
An acupuncture session lasts c. 30 minutes, during which time the acupuncturist inserts the needles into various points on the body. The there is a reset period, during which the needles can bring about their regulatory effect. The Alpen Med Spa Centre recommends a series of 10 sessions, which can be repeated if necessary.
