What is Oriental Medicine?
Oriental Medicine encompasses all forms of acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage and exercise that originated in Asia over 2000 years ago. It is the most widely integrated form of energy medicine in western cultures.
Traditionally used for prevention, it has gained modern acclaim for successful treatment of acute and chronic conditions without the adverse side-effects found in Western medicine.
Acupuncture
 |
|
Acupuncture is part of a comprehensive medical system originating in China over 2000 years ago. It utilizes fine needles which are inserted at specific points on the body. These needles regulate the body’s natural energy, what is also referred to as Qi (pronounced Chee). Health is seen as harmonious and balanced flow of Qi. When this flow is disrupted, illness occurs. |
Needles?
 |
|
The needles used in acupuncture treatments are very thin, about the width of a hair. Unlike hypodermic needles, acupuncture needles are solid and thin, not designed to cut the skin. The needles do not hurt when inserted properly. Many people feel the Qi arriving at the point of the needle and experience a tingling or heavy sensation. We only use needles that are individually packaged, sterilized and disposable-never saved or reused. |
