What is Oriental Medicine?
Oriental Medicine is a complete medical system which aids in strengthening the immune
system, relieves pain, and helps prevent disease by returning the body to balance. Dating
back over 3,000 years, the use of acupuncture is widespread throughout Asia, Europe, and the
United States.
Patients are diagnosed according to their symptoms, disease pattern, and their individual
constitution. In this way, treatments include the body-mind type of the individual during
treatment to move the body into balance and health.

Research about how acupuncture works is ongoing in both the western medical
community and in Asia. While the mechanisms are not clear, acupuncture causes the
body to release endorphins which make it particularly effective in treating pain.
Acupuncture affects sugar metabolism, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in the blood,
and has a regulating effect on the endocrine system.
Acupuncture works to release blockages in the body which deplete the body’s vital
energy, called Qi (pronounced chee). Qi can be used as a qualitative description of all
the biological and cellular processes in the body, sort of a gestalt of the body. As the
proper energy flow is restored and balanced, the body is able to heal more quickly and
more completely.
For pain relief and relieving side effects from medication, nobody can touch us!
