An ancient therapy, studied by modern science.
Acupuncture is a therapeutic method that addresses the causes of a disorder from the earliest stages of illness — and, combined with a suitable lifestyle, becomes a genuine form of prevention.
Research over recent decades increasingly supports the existence of a system of energy channels (meridians) — biological and electromagnetic — connecting the acupuncture points on the skin, the ear and other areas, through which effects are produced at a distance. Research of this kind is also being carried out in Romania.
Sessions are performed by a doctor only, under strict hygiene conditions, using sterile single-use needles. Treatment is personalised and, where appropriate, delivered together with a multidisciplinary team.
Acupuncture — one of the most widely used preventive methods.
It works on subtle energetic imbalances — those that appear before illness sets in, and which conventional diagnosis cannot yet detect.
Acting early
Even people without a medical diagnosis carry subtle disturbances at the energetic level — brought on by stress, poor nutrition, an unhealthy routine and environmental toxins. Left unaddressed, these lead over time to established disease.
Recommended courses
To maintain balance, we recommend 3–4 courses a year of 5–10 sessions each, spaced 3–4 months apart — timed according to the acupuncture assessment.

For the curious
A short history of acupuncture
Archaeological and anthropological research shows that ideas about energy channels and the therapeutic effects of stimulating the skin by pressure, pricking, scratching or heat date back to prehistory. The Ebers Papyrus (Egypt, 1550 BC) describes a system of twelve channels through which energy flows. Peoples across the world — the Bantu in southern Africa, communities of the Amazon rainforest, the Inuit — have used similar methods over the centuries.
The discovery of Ötzi, the man preserved in Alpine ice some 5,300 years ago, revealed tattoos on his skin marking precisely those acupuncture points useful for treating the conditions found at autopsy.
The credit for systematising this knowledge into medical treatises, and developing it continuously, belongs to Chinese civilisation. The first treatise of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Huang Di Nei Jing, represents medical knowledge accumulated over roughly 3,500 years (from 2700 BC to AD 800).
Today, modern research increasingly brings to light this system of biological and electromagnetic meridians — through imaging as well as clinical practice. Research of this kind is also being carried out in Romania.
