Welcome to Kan & Li! A space located in the heart of the Eixample district dedicated to treating different types of disorders, pains, and discomforts using various therapies related to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Classical Chinese Medicine, and especially acupuncture.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is an ancient medical system based on holistic principles to maintain balance and harmony in the body.

Certain variations such as acupuncture, moxibustion, tui na, and herbal medicine are non-invasive disciplines used not only as natural therapies but also focus on prevention, treating the human body as an integrated whole.

Certain imbalances often arise due to various disharmonies that affect the body, stemming from our internal state and/or our well-being.

What do we cover at our Classical Chinese Medicine center?

TCM, far from seeking to be a miracle cure, focuses on a comprehensive study of the body, the pulse, the person’s habits, and many other factors that can help identify the causes of blockages/excesses and/or deficiencies, promoting techniques that help restore the body’s energy balance.

Phytotherapy

Based on the use of medicinal plants, Chinese herbal medicine employs a wide range of herbs, roots, barks, and seeds to treat various ailments. These herbs are combined in specific formulas to balance the body, improve health, and treat illnesses, from common colds to more complex problems such as digestive or circulatory disorders.

Acupuncture

This centuries-old practice involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate “Qi.” It unblocks energy channels, called meridians, and helps treat a wide range of physical and mental ailments, from chronic pain to anxiety and tension.

Tuina

This type of therapeutic massage is based on the manipulation of muscles and the stimulation of acupuncture points. It is used to relieve muscle pain, improve circulation, and promote relaxation.

Cupping

Used to improve blood circulation and release toxins from the body, cupping is applied to the skin, creating a controlled vacuum. This process helps relieve muscle pain, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation.

Auriculotherapy

This technique focuses on stimulating specific points on the outer ear, which are believed to be related to different organs and systems of the body. It uses the insertion of needles, pressure, or tacks to improve various ailments, such as chronic pain, anxiety, or addictions.

Moxibustion

Moxibustion is a technique that complements acupuncture by using the controlled combustion of a medicinal plant called mugwort or “moxa.” It is placed near acupuncture points to warm and stimulate them, strengthening the flow of energy in the body and promoting recovery.

Electroacupuncture

A modern variant of acupuncture that incorporates a mild electrical current applied to needles inserted into acupuncture points. This technique can enhance the stimulation of the points, making it useful in the treatment of pain, muscle problems, and chronic ailments.

Qi Gong

It is a practice that combines movement, breathing, and meditation to improve the circulation of vital energy (Qi) in the body. The gentle and coordinated exercises of Qi Gong aim to strengthen the body, calm the mind, and promote well-being and longevity.

Meditation

A fundamental aspect of Traditional Chinese Medicine, meditation is practiced to cultivate mental tranquility, emotional balance, and the mind-body connection. It is used as a tool to reduce tension, promote mental clarity, and improve overall well-being.

Luis Cervilla, acupuncturist and head of Kan and Li

With over 10 years of experience in acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, I am the person behind the essence of this alternative therapy center. I founded Kan and Li with the goal of improving people’s well-being and quality of life.

My practice is a space of relaxation and calm amidst the daily hustle and bustle of Barcelona. It is a place where everyone can close their eyes and release themselves from adjacent or underlying internal blockages.

Did you know that… many of the ailments that afflict us have an origin closely related to our mind?

Mental clarity is not only about “feeling good” or appearing to “be well,” but about freeing oneself from internal constraints that are not immediately apparent, but which can be identified energetically.

This is why each appointment is personal and tailored to your individual needs. Getting to know you and your inner and outer world allows me to explore the root causes of your discomfort and specifically help alleviate the effects through the use of different techniques such as acupuncture and herbal medicine, providing holistic support.

Frequently Asked Questions about Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture

What is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?

With millennia of history, Traditional Chinese Medicine is understood as a holistic health system that seeks total harmony between body and mind. To achieve this well-being, it employs a diverse set of tools, ranging from the insertion of needles in acupuncture to the application of heat in moxibustion, as well as the manual techniques of tui na and the healing power of herbal medicine.
What are the benefits of TCM?

It is a holistic therapy that unifies the understanding of how all the body’s systems function and provides a comprehensive knowledge of how the body works. It can address most signs and symptoms with few or no contraindications, and it is a non-invasive and completely safe process. The scientific evidence supporting it places it among the best and most effective holistic and natural therapies available.
Is Traditional Chinese Medicine safe?

Absolutely! All the disciplines we offer at the Kan and Li center are non-invasive therapies and pose no risk to a person’s health, regardless of their condition or age.

All sessions are conducted by Luis Cervilla, a professional specializing in Traditional Chinese Medicine with many years of experience. Each session follows a strict safety protocol and includes comprehensive support.
What is acupuncture and what is it used for?

Acupuncture is one of the most powerful and effective tools available in Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Its profound understanding of the energy flow through the body’s channels allows it to regulate imbalances caused by daily life, habits, weather conditions, or emotional stress, which in some way disrupt the natural flow of our energy, or Qi. It regulates and balances this flow, ensuring that our internal systems function in a coordinated and efficient manner, thus restoring equilibrium and health.
What does acupuncture cover?

With acupuncture, we can manage all kinds of disorders or imbalances in our body, whether they affect the digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, or hormonal systems, or cause musculoskeletal discomfort, gynecological issues, menstrual problems, fertility problems, and more.

Seemingly unrelated signs and symptoms in a person can be regulated with acupuncture sessions, as it addresses the root of the imbalance. When this root is corrected, the external signs and symptoms usually disappear or improve, leading to a better quality of life.
When are the effects of acupuncture noticeable?
How long does the effect of acupuncture last?

It will depend on the condition we are treating. If, for example, it is a muscle contracture, it can be resolved in a single session.

If, on the other hand, we are treating a deeper condition such as joint pain due to osteoarthritis or arthritis, the effect will be shorter-lasting, and the sessions will need to be more frequent and continuous to achieve the desired effect over time.
What do acupuncture needles do?

In each case, the appropriate points are chosen to perform the actions the person requires at that particular moment.

They balance and regulate Qi, prioritizing those parts of our body that are undernourished or have low function, restoring the free flow of Qi throughout our body, thus recovering our health and inner and outer well-being.
Can I improve my fertility with acupuncture?

Traditional Chinese Medicine has shown very good results in this field, and there is scientific evidence to support this. It is truly effective in naturally regulating the menstrual cycle, reducing stress, and regulating the endocrine system to achieve hormonal balance.

It is recommended as a support for both natural conception and in vitro fertilization (IVF).
