Acupuncture Helps!
Feeling the pulse during treatment lets me know that my treatment is working. But also by observing the changing appearance of the patient directly during and after treatment. And of course, by their feedback, which ranges from actually reducing symptoms, experiencing more relaxation in daily life, being more open to change, and better at setting boundaries. They often gain more insight into the possibilities of changing their situation through their lifestyle, and I often provide advice on that.

Beautiful Treatment Result for Hay Fever
In January of this year, a friendly father (45) and son (12) came to me. The father runs a large apple and pear business and is allergic to trees and grass, a highly unfortunate combination for a gardener. He had undergone a rigorous desensitization process for three years in the hospital, which unfortunately did not help. During the peak season, his head fills with mucus, he becomes short of breath, and his eyes become extremely red and itchy. Lawn mowing is quite a challenge, to say the least. The son also experiences asthmatic symptoms, sneezing, and itchy eyes. He has been using an inhaler for years. Although he is not outdoors all day because he goes to school, he enjoys helping his father frequently. They enter a completely unknown world for them but surrender to needles and herbs. In total, I see them six times, initially every six weeks, and from April onwards, every three weeks. The sessions are relaxed, as I gradually introduce them to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and they educate me on pruning, irrigating, frost spraying, and harvesting. But the most important thing is that they get through the season relatively unscathed. A little sniffle after sawing birch branches, a sneeze while mowing or shredding wood, but it's nothing to worry about and it quickly passes each time. The son has stopped using the inhaler. He spent a day happily haymaking with friends, while his friends were sneezing and short of breath, and he was the only one without any issues. The father is also relieved, working joyfully again and even having energy left in the evenings.

Most Beautiful Experiences
These happen every day and can range from a spectacular improvement in symptoms (as mentioned above) to a single tear that marks the beginning of insight, change, and recovery. The fact that people trust me, open their hearts to me, and allow me to witness their process is the greatest gift for me.
