Prevention lies at the heart of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Unlike an approach focused solely on treatment, it aims to maintain the body’s balance in order to prevent the onset of illness.
In Geneva, more and more patients are turning to acupuncture and natural therapies to boost their everyday health.
Why is prevention better than cure?
In traditional Chinese medicine, illness arises when the body’s energy balance is disrupted. Fatigue, stress, an unbalanced diet or lack of sleep can weaken the body.
- a weakened immune system
- chronic fatigue
- Digestive problems
- stress and anxiety
Prevention therefore helps to stop these imbalances from developing into more serious conditions.
How Traditional Chinese Medicine works in prevention
Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on a holistic view of the body. It acts before symptoms appear to maintain the proper flow of energy (Qi).
- strengthens the immune system
- balances the internal organs
- reduces stress and tension
- improves sleep
- supports overall energy
Acupuncture, herbal medicine and personalised advice enable a deep-acting approach to your health.
How often should you attend?
For preventative care, it is recommended to attend regularly, even if you are not in pain.
- 1 session per season (4 times a year)
- or 1 session per month during periods of stress
- personalised follow-up depending on your condition
These sessions help to restore balance to the body and prevent imbalances from arising.
