Treatments
Traditional Chinese Medicine does not treat a disease, but rather the disharmonious energy pattern that causes that disease. Health, for Traditional Chinese Medicine, is the result of the balance between Yin and Yang. When these are out of balance, the disease process occurs. So the disease doesn't appear overnight. It is the result of a succession of stressful experiences, accompanied by a weakness in the protection mechanism. (Maciocia, 1996)

Your first appointment?
During the first visit (approximately 2 hours), we will conduct an assessment where we will discuss your main health concerns, review your health history, answer questions, and give you your first treatment.
Bij Dami’s Acupunctuur & Welzijn maken wij tijdens het eerste consult altijd een tonganalyse. De observatie van de tong is een van de belangrijkste onderdelen van de Chinese diagnostiek.
During a tongue analysis, we can evaluate changes in color, shape, movement and coating lingual. This allows the Acupuncturist to observe changes in the body so that the treatment can be adjusted according to what was evaluated.
Therefore, we ask that you consume colorful food and beverages up to 2 hours before your appointment. This may affect the results of the tongue analysis. Water consumption is allowed.
