Abdominal Acupuncture (Akupunktura brzucha)
With guarantee = immediate reservation. Without guarantee = payment after confirmation.
A gentle method, remarkably effective.
Abdominal Acupuncture is a modern microsystem developed by Prof. Bo Zhiyun since 1991. We work within the meridians on the abdomen — between Ren 12 and Ren 4 and along lines to Sp 15 — using the holographic "turtle" map. Result: needles hit precisely, patients feel lightness, and the effect runs deep — without need for additional therapies.
Precise diagnostic system
Turtle mapping gives you direct access to the whole body. One point on the abdomen = control of pain throughout the body.
Fast, predictable results
Patients feel relief during the first session. The AA system has clear stimulus progression and safe protocols.
Gentle, yet powerful
Needling is delicate — patients usually describe pleasant sensations. Yet the result is rapid relief and deep action.
Did you know that traditional limb acupuncture sometimes isn't enough?
❌ Limitations
Classical limb and back points work, but sometimes patients wait long for results. Zang-Fu disorders require herbal support or moxibustion.
✓ Solution
Abdominal Acupuncture provides access to deep disorders through the holographic map. On its own, without adjuncts, it acts quickly and reliably on pain and organ functions.
