Acupuncture has no side effects and it can be performed in tandem with other naturopathic treatments.

Ocular acupuncture uses highly effective points, which have their origins in different systems. Chinese acupuncture plays a less significant role here. And the needles are, of course, not used directly on the eyes! During his scientific studies, Prof. Dr. J. Boel from Denmark, discovered that the joints in the body contain a micro system that sends messages to the brain. The affected areas contain points, which are sensitive to pressure. Over the last 25 years, Boel has used acupuncture to treat ca. 7000 patients suffering from various eye disorders. The following illnesses are those most frequently treated with ocular acupuncture:

• Presbyopia
• Glaucoma
• Macula degeneration
• Retinitis pigmentosa
• Brain trauma induced blindness
• (e.g. bruising or blood clot)
• Short-sightedness in the young and children under 20

Unfortunately, we can’t heal all eye disorders with acupuncture. But it can significantly ease, prevent or significantly delay the onset of further pain. Ocular acupuncture is performed in much the same way for all eye disorders. The first treatment takes five days, during which the patient is treated twice a day, with a one-hour gap between treatments. After the first week, it is possible to ascertain whether the patient will respond to the treatment, and the possible success or failure of further treatment. The patient is then treated twice a week for several weeks, then once a fortnight, and subsequently once a month.

Depending on the cause of the illness, ocular acupuncture should be performed in tandem with other treatments.

Of course, cosmetic acupuncture cannot replace conventional cosmetic treatments and these should also be continued.

Electro acupuncture

Needles are positioned on specific parts of the body and a low frequency electric source is attached, producing a gentle electric current.
This eases pain and stimulates nerve channels. It improves circulation in undernourished areas so that nutrients are able to reach them again.

Electro acupuncture is particularly effective in treating:

• Allergies (augmented acupuncture)
• Paralysis
• Back pain
• Ischialgia

• Acute allergies
• Mental problems
• Addiction recovery (e.g. nicotine, alcohol etc.)
• Weight loss
• Chronic pain

Auricular acupuncture is normally performed in tandem with other kinds of treatment:
