Acupuncture is a holistic form of therapy based on TCM<\/strong> (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Holistic means that not only the body, but also emotions and feelings are focus of the treatment \u2013 as in TCM, feelings and mental aspects are considered to be a trigger of many diseases. Moreover, various factors such as environmental influences, diet and living conditions as well as stress are also believed to cause pain or health problems.<\/p>\n Therefore, as a vital part of TCM, acupuncture therapy<\/strong> does not only affect the point of the therapeutic stimulus locally but has a holistic effect on the entire organism<\/strong>. This helps to balance various disrupted bodily functions. It is not without reason, that the tradition of acupuncture has been preserved for 3000 years. After all, it effectively helps against various problems and pains, and majorly increases well-being.<\/p>\n<\/div> You can easily make an appointment<\/strong> at VenusMed in Vienna.
