Traditional Chinese medicine for body and mind — in the heart of Amsterdam.
Fine needles are placed on specific points along the meridians — the energy pathways of the body. This stimulates the self-healing capacity and restores the balance of Qi (life energy). The needles are so thin that most patients barely feel them.
After a brief consultation, Lily determines the points that best suit your complaint. Many patients experience deep relaxation and sometimes a mild tingling sensation.
Glass or silicone cups are placed on the skin and create a vacuum. This draws the tissue upward, improves blood circulation and dissolves deep-rooted muscle tension.
The cups may leave temporary round marks — this is normal and disappears within a few days. Many patients experience immediate relief from tension.
A smooth instrument is used to scrape the skin in one direction to stimulate circulation and lift stagnation in the meridians. Gua Sha releases stuck energy and promotes recovery.
The scraping movement feels like a deep-rooted massage. Temporary redness (sha) may appear, showing the stagnation has been lifted — this disappears within 3–5 days.
Dried mugwort (moxa) is burned near or on acupuncture points. The heat penetrates deeply into the tissue and stimulates energy flow. Particularly suitable for cold and energy complaints.
A warm, deeply relaxing treatment. The scent of burning moxa is aromatic and meditative. Almost always combined with acupuncture for maximum effect.
The foot contains reflex zones that correspond to all organs and systems in the body. Targeted pressure on these points releases tension and activates the self-healing capacity.
You lie comfortably while Lily works systematically over the sole of the foot. Most patients nearly fall asleep.
We combine treatments to achieve the best result. During the first consultation we determine which combination is most suitable for your complaint.
Cupping loosens stagnation in the fascia; acupuncture restores the energy balance. Together they reach layers that massage alone cannot reach. Ideal for back pain, sports injuries and chronic muscle tension.
Gua Sha dissolves stagnation in the connective tissue; acupuncture restores the energy balance. Effective for long-lasting pain complaints and local inflammation reactions in neck, shoulders and back.
The warmth of moxa replenishes Qi deficiency; acupuncture stimulates energy flow. Particularly effective for fatigue, cold extremities and immune system support.
