Multiple Sclerosis

We offer support and treatment to those living with multiple sclerosis so that you can live your best possible life.

TCM has been used for centuries to help those with MS, and with great success. Alongside the immune-modulating treatments used in conventional care, we focus on supporting your body more broadly, which many patients find leads to a natural reduction in symptoms.

How TCM Views MS Symptoms

The varying symptoms of MS make sense when viewed through TCM principles:

Fatigue and weakness

These represent a deficiency of Qi, particularly in the Spleen and Kidney systems. Think of these organ systems not as anatomical structures but as functional networks that generate and distribute energy throughout your body.

Numbness and tingling

These indicate blockages in the meridian pathways, like rivers of energy becoming partially dammed, causing unusual sensations downstream.

Balance and coordination issues

These suggest Wind disruptions in the liver system, which, in TCM, governs smooth movement and coordination.

Vision problems

These relate to liver energy not properly nourishing the eyes, as the liver system has a special relationship with vision in TCM theory.

Our Integrative TCM Approach to MS

We develop personalised treatment plans for MS that help address your unique pattern of imbalance. Our comprehensive approach includes:

Neuro Acupuncture Our primary treatment approach for MS. By stimulating points that directly influence the nervous system, neuro acupuncture helps restore proper Qi flow, reduce inflammation (Heat), clear obstructions (Dampness), and calm disruptive patterns (Wind). A specialism of ours that relatively few TCM practices in the Netherlands are trained in.

Cupping and Moxibustion These therapies help to improve circulation, reduce stagnation, and alleviate pain. Cupping can be especially helpful for muscle tension and stiffness.

QRNow® Fast-acting pain relief treatment unique to our practice. Using semi-permanent auricular (ear) acupuncture needles, we aim to reduce pain rapidly.

Nutritional Coaching We provide dietary guidance based on ketogenic principles. This approach helps reduce inflammation in the body, and fuel your brain as efficiently as possible.

Qigong This gentle practice helps strengthen Qi, and harmonise body and mind. Depending on your abilities, we can either recommend movement-based or seated practices.

What Makes Our Approach Different

Alongside conventional treatments, which primarily focus on managing the immune response, our TCM approach addresses the root imbalances that may be contributing to your symptoms. Many people continue with their conventional medical treatments whilst pursuing TCM. This integrated approach may result in:

Reduced frequency and severity of flare-ups
Improved energy and reduced fatigue
Better mood and cognitive function
Enhanced overall quality of life
Potential reduction in medication side effects
