Oriental Medicine

We are mature individuals not when we know what we want and how to get it but when we understand what we possess of value and know how to give it away freely.: -Eugene Kennedy

Oriental Medicine encompasses a variety of health care therapies and is in fact a way of looking at medicine that integrates all therapies in its understanding. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology are the most popular in the United States. Other aspects include: Diet, Nutrition, Lifestyle choices, Tai Qi (martial arts/physical exercise), Qi Gong (breath exercise), Tui'na (massage), and Feng Shui (environmental balance).

How Does This System Work?

It has been scientifically determined that human beings are actually unique bio-energetic systems. For thousands of years Oriental Medicine has acknowledged that there is a vital life force that flows through all things which is call "Qi"; in the west it is often referred to as "energy". Energy (Qi) flows along pathways in the human body, which are related to the organs and the tendo-muscular system. When the balance of this energy is disturbed due to trauma, poor diet, medications, stress, hereditary conditions, environmental factors, or excessive emotional issues, then pain or illness results. Oriental Medicine focuses on correcting these energetic imbalances by breaking up any obstruction and encouraging an even flow of Qi, which stimulates the body's natural ability to heal itself.
