About naturmed and our publishing firm Mueller & Steinicke
Meanwhile, our bookstore naturmed has been in this location for over 15 years. Previously, our bookstore and our publishing house were still represented under the name Müller & Steinicke in Munich. This was in the year 1970. We had several branches in the immediate vicinity of the medical faculties. As the influence of the internet was getting stronger and stronger over the years we decided to merge the branches into one central unit with a natural medicine orientation and called it naturmed. Today, in addition to our local store in Munich we have constantly strengthen successfully our business for mail orders nationally as well as internationally. Currently we are one of the leading specialists for books and videos about TCM and acupuncture in Europe.
Our customers appreciate our expert advice on acupuncture, Chinese medicine, homeopathy, natural remedies and manual techniques (like osteopathy for humans or animals) – both over the phone and at numerous congresses and training events.
Our goal is to continuously develop ourselves in the respective categories. Then can we offer our customers the best possible advice and services. In order to provide our new customers a better picture of us here a brief review of some important stages of our companies’ development in recent years.

Werner Gißler’s daughter, Carola Gißler, a trained bookseller, joins the company.
