  • Detoxification programmes range from 3 days to 6 weeks depending on the protocol and patient condition:

    • Mono-diet therapy: 3–7 days (supervised gut reset)
    • 3-week elimination detox: 21 days (liver, kidneys, gut, lymphatic system)
    • Holistic detox protocol: 4–6 weeks (heavy metals, chronic inflammation)
    • Liver rescue therapy: 3–6 weeks (intensive liver support)

    Every programme begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the most appropriate approach.

  • No referral is required. You can contact the clinic directly to schedule an appointment. The first consultation includes a detailed medical history review, lifestyle assessment, and discussion of your health concerns before any treatment is recommended.

  • Yes. Acupuncture-assisted weight management works by regulating appetite hormones, reducing stress-related eating, improving metabolic function, and supporting digestive health. Combined with nutritional guidance and lifestyle modification, it helps patients achieve sustainable weight loss without crash diets or medication. Dr. Çelik designs individualised protocols based on each patient’s metabolic profile and health history.

  • Dr. Çelik holds both a chemistry degree and a medical degree, giving him deep understanding of drug interactions and biochemical pathways. Complementary treatments are designed to work alongside conventional medicine, not replace it. All treatment plans take current medications and existing diagnoses into account. Patients are advised to continue prescribed treatments and consult their primary physician for any changes.

  • The practice serves patients in Turkish, English, and German. Dr. Çelik and his team can communicate comfortably in all three languages, making the clinic accessible to international patients visiting or residing in the Alanya region.

  • Traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM) combines time-tested healing practices — such as acupuncture, hirudotherapy, and herbal medicine — with modern clinical knowledge. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, T&CM investigates root causes: food intolerances, environmental toxin burden, gut microbiome imbalance, and hormonal disruption. Dr. Çelik integrates these approaches with conventional medical training to create individualised treatment plans.

  • Dr. Çelik specialises in chronic and complex conditions including:

    • Allergies and asthma
    • Migraine and chronic headaches
    • Depression and fibromyalgia
    • Obesity and metabolic disorders
    • Digestive problems (constipation, bloating, dysbiosis)
    • Eczema, psoriasis, and chronic skin conditions
    • Chronic fatigue syndrome
    • Food intolerances and sensitivities
    • Smoking addiction

    Each condition is evaluated through comprehensive diagnostic assessment before any treatment protocol begins.

  • Medical acupuncture involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles at specific anatomical points to stimulate the nervous system, improve blood circulation, and trigger the body’s natural healing response. It is effective for pain management, stress reduction, weight management, and smoking cessation. Dr. Çelik completed international certification in medical acupuncture and applies evidence-based protocols tailored to each patient’s condition.

  • Hirudotherapy uses medicinal leeches (Hirudo medicinalis) to deliver bioactive substances — including hirudin (an anticoagulant), hyaluronidase, and anti-inflammatory enzymes — directly into the bloodstream. This traditional therapy supports circulatory health, reduces localised inflammation, and assists the body’s natural detoxification processes. It is used for conditions ranging from varicose veins to chronic pain and inflammatory disorders.

  • A food intolerance assessment identifies delayed immune reactions to commonly consumed foods. Unlike acute allergies (which produce immediate symptoms), food intolerances cause chronic, low-grade inflammation that manifests as headaches, fatigue, digestive disturbances, skin problems, and mood changes. Dr. Çelik uses diagnostic testing followed by a structured elimination protocol to identify trigger foods and design a personalised nutrition plan.

  • Naturopathy is a holistic approach to health that supports the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It focuses on root causes rather than symptoms, using methods like nutrition, herbal medicine, detox, and energy alignment.
