Japanese Acupuncture
Japanese acupuncture needles are very thin and are usually inserted only superficially which results in pain-free treatments.
Toyohari is a gentle yet effective method of acupuncture. Treatment with acupuncture needles is non-invasive and therefore painless. The acupuncture points are activated using fine techniques with a needle, without penetrating the skin. In addition to needle treatment, therapy instruments, developed specifically for the Toyohari method, moxibustion and cupping are also used.
The treatment is therefore particularly suitable for patients with a fear of needles, very sensitive individuals, and children. The treatment consists of two steps: In the first part, the constitution is strengthened and activated, which supports the body's self-healing processes. In the second part, the specific symptoms are treated.

Electro Acupuncture
Electro Acupuncture is based on the theories of Chinese acupuncture where acupuncture points are stimulated through needles and thereby the flow of Qi in the body is increased.
In electro acupuncture, a mild current of electricity is passed through the needles which further stimulates the acupuncture points. This technique is especially effective in treating sport injuries and muscle tension.
Ear Acupuncture
Ear acupuncture is a unique form of acupuncture that is based on the fact that the whole body and its acupuncture points is represented on the external ear. Therefore, treating ailments and conditions via the external ear is another effective treatment method.
A variety of conditions can be treated using acupuncture needles or small, semi-permament needles that adhere to the skin of the external ear. This method has been shown to be especially effective in treating chronic conditions.
Implant Acupunture
Similar to ear acupuncture, this form of acupuncture treats the points of the body that are represented on the external ear. However, in implant acupuncture metal-free extremely small needles are implanted just below the skin. These needles dissolve by themselves in around 3 months.
​
This form of acupuncture is well-suited to time-specific conditions such as hay fever, migraines, tinnitus or for supporting people as they quit smoking.
