Giovanni Maciocia
World-Renowned Practitioner of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
In 1994, Giovanni Maciocia formulated 38 formulae for the treatment of various common complaints, called The Three Treasures™, and 26 formulae for the treatment of gynaecological complaints, called Women's Treasure™. More recently, 12 new formulae called The Little Treasures™ have been added for the distinctive aetiology and pathology of children. All of the formulae represent a culmination of Giovanni's over 35-years of research and clinical experience.
The Three Treasures™ and The Little Treasures™ combine classical prescriptions and new formulations designed by Giovanni to fill in what he perceived to be gaps in existing remedies from China and the West while the Women's Treasure™ formulae are all variations of classical prescriptions.
