Practice for Traditional Chinese Medicine

TCM & Acupuncture in Zurich Oerlikon

Welcome to daoQi, your acupuncture clinic for Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Zurich Oerlikon. As an acupuncturist in Zurich Oerlikon, I have been treating patients according to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine since 2010.

My range of treatments includes acupuncture, Tuina massage and, where appropriate, Chinese herbal medicine. My aim is to understand the underlying causes of your symptoms, support your body’s natural ability to regulate itself and promote your long-term wellbeing.

I also offer individual TCM treatments for people who wish to achieve healthy and sustainable weight loss. Treatment may help to support the metabolism, reduce food cravings and encourage healthier long-term habits.


My Services

Acupuncture – A Central Part of TCM

Acupuncture is one of the best-known treatment methods within Traditional Chinese Medicine. Fine needles are placed at carefully selected acupuncture points to support the body’s natural regulatory processes.

Acupuncture is commonly used as a complementary treatment for conditions such as pain, muscle tension, sleep problems, stress, allergies and various functional complaints.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal formulas are individually prepared following a detailed TCM assessment. Each formula is adapted to your symptoms, constitution and personal circumstances.

Traditional Chinese herbs are used to support the body in a holistic and individualised way.

Tuina Massage – Chinese Manual Therapy

Tuina is a traditional form of Chinese manual therapy that uses massage, pressure and mobilisation techniques to release muscular tension and improve mobility.

The treatment may promote circulation, support the flow of Qi through the meridian system and assist the regeneration of muscles and connective tissue.

What conditions do I treat?

Wondering whether I can help with your condition? Here you will find an overview of the most common conditions for which acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are used as supportive treatments.

What Is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?

Yin & Yang

Yin and Yang represent complementary forces. Their dynamic balance is considered an important foundation of physical and emotional wellbeing.

Qi – Vital Energy

Qi can be understood as the vital energy or functional activity that flows through the body. According to TCM, a balanced flow of Qi supports health, vitality and wellbeing.

The Meridian System

The meridians are described in TCM as pathways through which Qi flows. Acupuncture points are located along these pathways and are selected according to the individual diagnosis.

The Five Elements

Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water form a traditional classification system used to describe relationships between the organs, body functions, emotions and natural cycles.

Who Is TCM Suitable For?

Prevention

TCM can be used to support general health, strengthen wellbeing and help maintain the body’s natural balance.

Wellbeing

Treatment may contribute to improved quality of life, greater inner balance and gentle support during periods of stress, fatigue or lifestyle change.

Acute and Chronic Conditions

Traditional Chinese Medicine offers holistic and individualised treatment approaches for people of different ages.

It is commonly used as a complementary treatment for musculoskeletal pain and tension, stress-related or psychosomatic symptoms, fatigue, allergies, women’s health concerns and digestive complaints. It may also provide support for healthy weight management.

About me

My path into Traditional Chinese Medicine began with a five-year programme at the Academy of TCM and Asian Medicine in Winterthur.

After completing my training, I gained valuable practical experience in Vietnam. I later worked at the Schlössli Psychiatric Clinic in Oetwil am See and subsequently spent nine years as part of the complementary medicine team at the Ärztezentrum Oerlikon.

Today, I welcome patients to my practice at Ohmstrasse 14, conveniently located between Sternen Oerlikon and Oerlikon railway station.

What Does “daoQi” Mean?

The name daoQi combines two Chinese words:

  • Dao (道) means the way, direction or the natural course of life.
  • Qi (氣) can be translated as vital energy, breath or inner drive.

Together, daoQi can be understood as:

The path of vital energy

It also describes the idea of energy flowing naturally through the body and interacting with the surrounding environment.

Within Chinese medicine, treatment methods such as acupuncture aim to support the natural flow and balance of Qi.

In Short:

daoQi represents the moment when body and energy return to balance.
