ÜBER UNS

Willkommen

We are Angel and Inge – native Chinese – have been living happily in Switzerland for over 20 years. Over the years we have become more and more aware of how special the Swiss culture and the high quality standards associated with it are. Much more, these wonderful aspects have inspired us and made us look beyond. The high quality of life here in Switzerland made us take a closer look, research and finally discover how it is created in particular. Growing up with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) we were able to recognize different connecting points of both cultural views on health, which however were not visible to everyone. We decided to bring the benefits of both cultures closer in the health sector, even to merge them, in order to offer the best possible healing possibilities for body and mind. The result of the research and the resulting fusion of both perspectives and ways of applying health is our ChiSpirit Health Center – Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), meets physiotherapy and the Swiss perspective on improving quality of life.

Experience with us the beneficial benefits of both cultures for a long, balanced and healthy life.

In our stressful and yet often negative world, your choice to focus primarily on your health will help you to reduce any stress in the long term and, over time, also to completely detach yourself from the feeling of stress.»

Thanks again for stopping by ChiSpirit Health Center

Your health, We care – We are here for you

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the world’s oldest medical systems, having a history of several thousands of years. It is a system of healing based upon the Chinese philosophy of the correspondence between nature and human beings. Its theories refer to Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, Zang-fu, channels-collaterals, Chi(Qi), blood, body fluid, methods of diagnosis, the differentiation of symptom-complexes, etc. TCM has two main features: a holistic point of view and treatment according to a differentiation of syndromes. The therapeutic methods of TCM involve different approaches, such as acupuncture, cupping, moxibustion, Tuina bodywork, herbal medicine and qigong, in order to allow the body to heal itself in a natural way.

Western medicine was first introduced into China from the middle of the 17th century. During the first two centuries several different views, related to the future of TCM and the relation between TCM and Western medicine, emerged. Some advocated ‘complete westernization’ of Chinese medicine, others were in favour of keeping it intact, whereas again others recommended the ‘digestion and assimilation of TCM and Western medicine’ . Nowadays, more and more people realize that each of the two medical traditions has its own merits and advise that the two systems should benefit from each other’s strong points. We offer an argument for integrating Western medicine with TCM. In the 20th century China has maintained and developed three kinds of medical science, that is, TCM, Western medicine, and “integrated medicine”. Much has been achieved in clinical, experimental and theoretical research. The development of any science can be furthered by cross-fertilization based on absorption and fusion of whatever useful theory and experience. It is our concept that, diverse modalities can work in conjunction with each other as part of a unified team rather than in competition. This integrated approach will ultimately lead to safer, faster and more effective health care.
