The TCM Health Spa with the Turtle Spa Concept® is the latest addition to the renowned spa world of Schloss Elmau. It is based on a combination of the spa’s offerings and strategies from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Western medicine often does not take heed to disorders until there have already been changes in the organism. In contrast, TCM notes even the subtlest signs of imbalance and counterbalances them with various measures. Apart from Medical Qi Gong and Taiji, the spa offers five element nutrition and TCM strategy talks, as well as cupping, moxibustion, Tuina massages, Guasha, and acupuncture in the medical practice of Dr. Imke Koenig.
