Oriental Medicine dates back over 5,000 years. It’s a complete system of
understanding how the body works in an optimal state and in diseased states.
It is a system that can effectively prevent and treat disease using the following modalities
of Oriental Medicine:
• Acupuncture
• Moxibustion
• Cupping
• Gua Sha
• Oriental Medicinal Herbs
• Tui Na Massage
• Qi Gong/ Tai Ji
• Dietary Recommendations

There are 14 major meridians, or channel pathways that provide a means of communication between the different organ systems. Through the variety of modalities of Oriental Medicine, a practitioner is able to manipulate these pathways to improve the functioning of the whole system. These tools are used to regulate, supplement or reduce systems that are out of balance. Using diagnostic tools such as pulse reading, tongue observation, and abdominal palpation, practitioners can discover
where in the body the disharmony is rooted.

Oriental medicine is based on a concept of vital energy, or Qi (also written Ki or Chi,
and pronounced “chee”). This Qi flows along channels or meridians throughout the body
and links all of the body’s parts and functions.

Qi nurtures and maintains our physical body as well as our mind. It keeps the blood circulating, warms the body and fights disease. When a person is healthy, Qi flows smoothly through the channels. If the flow of Qi is blocked, weak, or excessive, then symptoms and illness can occur. During acupuncture treatment, the flow of Qi is corrected by inserting needles or applying pressure to specific points along the channels. This redirects the Qi to flow correctly and restores balance to the entire system. Acupuncture may also be used preventively by correcting energy flow even before symptoms or disease appears.
