Chinese medicine is an ancient traditional medicine that treats the person as a whole – body and mind. The body is seen as an interconnected organ system, where each organ has a unique function, often different from Western definitions. Vital energy, or Qi, flows between the organs, allowing us to carry out daily activities.

Treatment methods includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, manual therapy, and movement practices like Qi Gong and Tai Chi. Diagnosis is based on a thorough assessment that includes medical history, pulse, tongue, and blood tests. The goal is to restore balance and health.

• Acupuncture – Balancing Qi flow by inserting fine needles at specific points along channels (meridians). It addresses both root causes and symptoms.

• Herbal Medicine – Medicinal herbs with clinically supported benefits. They are prescribed as extracts, capsules, or herbal teas in a personalized plan.

• Chinese Nutrition – Choosing foods based on their energetic properties (warm, cold, dry, damp), seasonality, and preparation methods. Personalized nutritional guidance can often resolve chronic issues.

• Manual Therapy (Tuina/Shiatsu) – Therapeutic massage to stimulate Qi flow. Treatments are done over clothing and may include special oil blends.

• Qi Gong – A moving meditation combining breath and motion, clinically shown to support chronic health conditions and boost internal energy.

Chinese medicine has been clinically proven to support conditions such as acute and chronic pain, migraines, sleep disorders, metabolic syndrome (diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity), menopause symptoms, anxiety, depression, allergies, and immune system support.

Leading medical bodies like the UK’s NICE and the US ACP recommend it as a first-line or complementary therapy, including for cancer support and post-stroke rehabilitation.

In Israel, practitioners must complete a 4-year accredited program with over 3,500 study hours and receive certification from the Chinese Medicine Association. Many certified practitioners also specialize in areas like Japanese Medicine, Clinical Nutrition, or Herbal Therapy.

A treatment method based on balancing the body's Qi using very thin, single-use needles. These are inserted into precise points and benefit pain, sleep, inflammation, hormonal imbalance, metabolic issues, digestion, and more. Over 300 acupuncture points are described in ancient texts, many of which have been scientifically validated.

From a Chinese Medicine view, needles regulate Qi flow, and each point has a specific function. Scientifically, acupuncture stimulates the release of substances such as serotonin (the happiness hormone), endorphins, and cannabinoids – our body’s natural pain relievers – and others, providing drug-like effects without side effects.

Barely. Most patients feel only a mild tingle or slight sensation of flow. The needles are much thinner than standard injection needles.

Chinese Medicine is considered very safe. Acupuncture has virtually no side effects; rare reactions include minor bruising or temporary fatigue. The U.S. NIH declared in 1997 that one of acupuncture’s main advantages is its significantly lower risk of side effects or complications compared to many drugs or procedures.

For herbal or medicinal mushroom use, professional consultation is advised to prevent interactions with other medications.

Japanese Medicine evolved from Chinese Medicine and shares its philosophical roots. It emphasizes diagnosis through body reflexes, greater use of moxibustion (heat therapy), and gentler needling. It often involves continuous touch and real-time body feedback.

First consultation: approx. 75 minutes;

Follow-up acupuncture sessions: 50–60 minutes

Nutrition consultation: approx. 90 minutes

In some cases (especially orthopedic issues), improvement may be felt after just one session. However, since many conditions have developed over years, multiple sessions are often needed for lasting results. After your initial consultation, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan.

Medicinal mushrooms are considered superfoods and are part of traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine. They contain powerful active compounds (like beta-glucans, polysaccharides, terpenes) that strengthen immunity, balance blood sugar, reduce stress, and enhance focus. Treatment is personalized to the patient’s needs using mushrooms like Reishi, Cordyceps, or Shiitake – either in diet or as part of a comprehensive health plan.
