Acupuncture also has its origins in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is probably one of the oldest medical techniques. According to TCM, 3 things influence the Qi (= life energy in the body), the autonomous balance: meditation, nutrition and acupuncture. Depending on the symptoms, wafer-thin needles are inserted into so-called acupuncture points in the body during acupuncture treatment. According to TCM, the sting stimulus restores the balance of life energy in the body (Qi). At the same time, several studies prove the effectiveness of acupuncture for postoperative pain and there are numerous indications that it is effective for nausea during chemotherapy.

A comprehensive scientific explanation for the effectiveness of acupuncture does not yet exist, but it has been scientifically proven. In 1978, the WHO (World Health Organization) published a report in which it recognized acupuncture as an effective medical practice.
