ACUPUNCTURE ROYAL
An indulgent combination of cupping and acupuncture, designed for those who want more than a single fix. Cupping is a time-honoured healing technique in which glass cups are placed on the body under gentle vacuum. It works deeply to improve circulation, draw out cold and stagnant blood, strengthen the immune system, support better sleep, and release tension held in the muscles. This is followed by a fully personalised acupuncture prescription, composed specifically for you. Choose this powerful pairing if you're navigating more than one (chronic) complaint or simply wish to surrender to a truly restorative session. A herbal consultation is available as a supplement (€15), including a one-week herbal formula in pill form. First-time clients begin with a one-off intake fee of €50.

- 2.Tongue and pulse diagnosis. This is a classic method in Traditional Chinese Medicine to measure imbalance. It's very different from the Western method. Could be interesting to hear from the Chinese point of view.

- 4.Fine (sterile disposable) needles are inserted in the body. If needed, moxa-therapy will be applied in combination with acupuncture.

Because the lamp radiates warmth it's a very relaxing experience.
