Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine | |||
|
Oriental Medicine is an ancient method of holistic healing that has been effective for over 3,000 years. Some of the therapies include Acupuncture, Injection Therapy, Chinese Herbal Medicine ( Internal Medicine ), Tui Na Medical Massage, Electrical Stimulation/Anesthesia, Moxibustion, Cupping, Gua Sha, Auricular Therapy, Qi Gong Breathing-Postures-Exercises, and Chinese Food Therapy and Nutrition.
The most familiar therapy of Oriental Medicine is Acupuncture. The practice of Acupuncture is based on the principle that health is characterized by the smooth flow of Qi (bioelectrical energy) through the organs and internal pathways called meridians.
During an Acupuncture treatment, the body undergoes a normalizing process. The end result is a kind of homeostasis in which the body brings about a self-regulatory effect. This is one of the reasons that Acupuncture rarely causes side effects. Acupuncture does not force the body to do anything; it only assists the body into performing its normal functions.
The goal of Oriental Medicine is to balance the energy systems of the body, because balance is the ideal state of being that facilitates the natural healing process of the body.
