Understanding Oriental Medicine
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 though all things
which is called “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 either trauma, poor diet, medications, stress, hereditary
conditions, environmental factors, or excessive emotional issues; 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.
