Traditional Chinese Medicine
with Dr. Imke König
Slowing down is the key to a long, healthy, and happy life. The Turtle Spa Concept® combines the spa services of Schloss Elmau and the findings of modern sports science, nutritional science, phytotherapy, and aromatherapy with strategies and treatments from TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Western medicine often only pays attention to disorders once organic changes have occurred. In contrast, TCM detects even the smallest signs of imbalance and takes various measures to correct them.
Our Medical Spa Director, Dr. Imke König, has been studying Chinese medicine for over 40 years and has worked full-time at Schloss Elmau since 2008. She discovered Taijiquan and Qigong through her martial arts practice in the 1980s. Charismatic teachers sparked her interest in Chinese medicine, Yang Sheng, five-element nutrition, and Daoism.She took her first acupuncture courses during her first semester of medical school.
She combines her in-depth knowledge of anatomy in movement, physiology, spiral dynamics, and self-defense with her inspiring teaching style, in the Qigong group lessons, as well as Taijiquan and TCM workshops she gives for guests at Schloss Elmau.
Her special field of interest lies in longevity research, based on the authentic Yang Sheng of the Chinese classics and modern longevity research. After an initial Chinese anamnesis (medical history), she works with her patients to find the right way to regain lasting health.
She offers acupuncture for all guests and indications in her private practice in the Schloss Elmau bathhouse.
