Chinese Herbal Medicine and Shiatsu

Chinese Herbal Medicine and Shiatsu If appropriate I teach a few specific exercises called Tai Chi-Qi Gong to deepen the effect of the treatment.

Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese Herbal Medicine is one of the great herbal systems of the world, with an unbroken tradition going back to the 3rd century BC. Yet throughout itʼs history it has continually developed in response to changing clinical conditions, and has been sustained by research into every aspect of its use. For details on specific studies that have shown the efficacy of Chinese Herbal Medicine please look at: www.rchm.co.uk
I often treat with a combination of Chinese Medicine & Shiatsu however depending on the nature of the problem i may favor one over the other. Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork based, like Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, on the classical theories of Chinese Medicine. It addresses a wide range of specific ailments, as well as promoting deep relaxation, enhancing vitality and reducing stress. The session takes place on treatment-couch or on a futon and includes both invigorating techniques as well as gentler and more nourishing work in proportions that vary according to the clientʼs particular constitution and the nature of their complaints. Tai Chi - Qi Gong
Tai Chi and Qi Gong are ancient chinese systems of movements/exercises that typically flow gracefully into each other making it appear like a beautiful slow dance. They are commonly practiced outdoors, in nature but can equally be done indoors. The movements are designed to strengthen, invigorate and loosen up the body and at the same time calm and focus the mind. More specifically they work on what is called the Meridians best known from Acupuncture and Acupressure, which in turn have a beneficial effect on the vital organs. Some common conditions that I frequently treat with success are:
Musculoskeletal Problems and various Painful Conditions e.g:
Back Pain
Neck Pain
Shoulder Pain
Headaches and Migraines

Women’s Disorders, Period problems, Menopausal syndrome, Hot flushes, Nightsweats, Anxiety etc
Sleep Problems
Digestive Disorders
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Stress-related symptoms/conditions
Skin Problems: Eczema, Psoriasis etc
Respiratory Problems
Emotional issues such as Anxiety, Irritability, Moodswings etc

This list is by no means exhaustive so please feel free to call me if you would like to discuss whether these treatments may me suitable for you. Markus Grasser: 20 years experience.

HAYFEVER - CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE - 1/2 PRICE CONSULTATION OFFER - ALLERGIC RHINITIS
Chinese Medicine is truly brilliant and very effective for Hayfever. I treat this all the time and I would say at least 90% of people respond brilliantly with a relieve of symptoms of at least 80%/85% but mostly higher. Most people say the herbs are more effective than any other medication they have tried and certainly dont have any of the secondary effects that many suffer from. Herbs can be taken just during the season and will often have the effect of reducing the next seasons allergic response, which can even disappear completely! but can also be taken outside the season to improve the body’s immune response and strengthen the respiratory system so it can deal better with the next seasons allergens.
Please dont hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

My 1/2 price consultation fee offer is valid for EVERYBODY ! :) until the 11th may.

With all my best wishes,

Markus

TAI CHI QI GONG SHIBASHI (18 stances)

Dear All,
I want to share with you some videos of me teaching a form called Tai Chi Qi Gong Shibashi which has 18 movements.
I thought this would be the right moment as many of us find it hard to get enough movement and exercise (due to the COVID 19 confinements) and this is something you can do anywhere where you have enough space to swing your arms.
These are not professional videos but rather a spontaneous filming session by one of my dear students Elisabeth. Thanks Elisabeth AH ! She filmed me at the end of a course recapping the whole form. Also thank you Mihaela Ionescu for hosting the course!
Please note: Sometimes I miss out some details I might want to emphasise to complete beginners and in some of the movements I had decided to teach a particular variation of the move (whilst often there are several ways). So in other words there are certainly some improvements possible but I thought I rather share this now whilst this might be needed then waiting to perfect it.

My hopes are the following:
1) To offer you a simple way of learning Qi Gong that you can do in quite a small place but of course anywhere outside in nature if possible.
2) To offer a resource to my patients to learn specific movements for certain diseases and health issues. Like this, whilst it is always more ideal to come to a class in person, you can familiarise yourself with some of the basics of the form. Should you want to go into more detail and have some direct feedback from me, you can always book a one to one session with me (also available now via Zoom/skype/video)
3) To help people understand the theories of Chinese Medicine in a more experiential way. I will be talking about all the different meridians known from acupuncture, lines of energy pathways that connect and integrate the whole body-mind and have a specific relationship to the various internal organs. This will also be the aim of some future videos that I will dedicate to the 5 Elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Wood and Metal) as well as the specific meridians themselves. Their relationship to Diet, Lifestyle, Exercise, Psychology, Emotions, physical functions and much more. And the beauty of it all is: you can experience all these correlations and functions that have been described in Chinese Medicine for millennia for yourself.
Etc, etc to be expanded…..

I will post in the next few days some more videos so you can practice the first 6 moves. After that please let me know should you want more and I shall post them.

In the meanwhile please practice each of the moves roughly 12 times (once you know all 18 moves they are generally done 6 times each(like this the form takes about 20 minutes) , but I usually simply do them until it feels complete and then I move onto the next one. The whole form takes me then roughly 45 minutes)

Any questions just ask!

With all my best wishes,

May you be healthy !

Markus

CORONA VIRUS AND CHINESE MEDICINE

Dear All,
I hesitated for quite some while before posting this as I felt uncomfortable offering prevention and treatment in a time of panic and I did not want to cash in based on peoples fears. On the other hand if you feel that you are run down or more susceptible to catching colds/flu, have asthma or other respiratory problems, a weakened immune system or indeed the first symptoms of a viral infection, Chinese Medicine simply has an enormous amount to offer.

On the 2 February 2020 the Chinese Government announced a Major Change in Strategy: All patients with confirmed Infections are to Use Chinese Medicine (see linked article) (of course !!!! in conjunction !!!!, if needed, to western medical interventions). Chinese Medicine is used for prevention, as well as for mild to moderate cases (which prevents mild and moderate case advancing to a critical level) and serious cases.

In our curent lockdown situation in France and other countries Chinese Herbal Medicine is especially suitable as it is possible to conduct the consultations over the phone/skype.

So I felt duty bound to let you know that the Chinese Government recommends Chinese Herbal Medicine as treatment (again, of course in conjunction, if needed, to suitable western medical interventions) as well as prevention for the Corona virus and according to Liu Qingquan, director of the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital and one of China’s leading TCM (Traditional Chinese medicine) experts dispatched to Wuhan, TCM has been positively implemented in approximately 90% of COVID-19 patients.

The most effective treatment approaches have been widely documented and shared (see also linked article) so please contact me should you want to strengthen your immune system in case you feel susceptible or indeed if you have developed some symptoms. The herbs will be sent out by post and should reach you, normally within 1-3 days.

For best results, as always in Chinese Medicine, treatment is tailor-made to each individual case and adjusted as symptoms change.

The other modalities of Chinese Medicine are of course used as well and include Qi-Gong (chinese therapeutic exercises such as the one to 'strengthen the Lungs' I have posted earlier (see also on my page) as well as Diet, Chinese medical massage “Tuina” and its Japanese version “Shiatsu” and Acupuncture (however none of those last 3 are possible at the moment) .

As my contribution I am offering consultations at half price or less if needed. (please simply ask)

PS: Due to delays with the post at the moment it might be a good idea for susceptible people to have 2 or 3 Herbal Formulations already in your house on standby (they last for 2 years and can also be used for the common cold and dry or wet cough that often follows it as long as the symptoms fits the patterns of the herbal formulations. I will explain all this to you in detail) so you can use them at the earliest symptoms. Please contact me should you want that.

Wishing you good health,

Markus

Dear All, With all the anxiety worry and fear that has resulted from the Corona Virus situation i want to share something positive that you can do for yourself, your immune-system and your lungs. I have noticed within myself that when i focus too much on the 'external solutions' to minimise the spread of the virus i can feel quite anxious and depressed and it is easy to forget that it is also very important to look after our own health: physically as well as mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

By keeping yourself well you will also indirectly contribute to the wellbeing of others and more vulnerable people. Of course sharing this video with those people who might need it even more gives them a very simple tool to strengthen their bodies and minds and also feel more in control of their own well being.

This is video was created by one of my old teachers and dear friend Peter Deadman (author of 'Live well, Live Long' etc). Thank you Peter!

With all my best wishes, Markus

JANUARY OFFER: 50% OFF - CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE
MENOPAUSAL: -HOT FLUSHES -NIGHTSWEATS -INSOMNIA
50% reduction for the Initial consultation and 20 euros off for follow up consultations for women with Menopausal Symptoms such as Hot Flushes, Night sweats, Insomnia.
I am a Practitioner of Chinese Herbal Medicine and Shiatsu ( in full time practice for 23 years). Chinese medicine is one of my life’s passions and I would love to be able to help more people. So I thought I put an offer out about one of my favourite problems I treat. Menopausal Hot Flushes/Night-sweats and Insomnia ! They are some of my favourites as they cause so much suffering yet I have found that with relatively little effort (drinking some Chinese Herbal Medicine-Tea for some while. And Yes it is disgusting, most people say ☺ , but some even love it) it can truly change women’s lifes. And all this by simply helping your body-mind find its natural equilibrium again. The idea is to find out in each individual case what the overall energetic imbalance is and addressing that. Once the system in balance again you wont need the herbs anymore. This is very different to the conventional approach where often women have to take HRT for years on end and when they stop, symptoms come back as the underlying issue was never really addressed.
I have to say i keep being impressed myself by the incredible results.
I would say a good 90-95% of all the women i have treated so far have had excellent results with about 70 percent of those reporting a complete disappearance of symptoms and about 30% an amelioration of symptoms by at least 60 %. Sometimes, unfortunately, i can't help at all but i believe it's definitely worth a try !
SKYPE OR PHONE CONSULTATIONS POSSIBLE: I often treat people from all over the planet, via skype or by phone and whilst it is always preferable to meet in person please don't hesitate to contact me if you think it might be difficult to come to my practice. This might be especially important to know for women with Menopausal Symptoms as i have found that results remain pretty impressive even if the consultation takes place via skype.
This offer is valid for the first 5 people who contact me by the 5TH FEBRUARY.

With all my best wishes

Markus
