Oriental Medicine originated in China and has been practiced for
thousands of years. The medicine has evolved as it was handed down
from generation to generation by learned masters. The practice
of Acupuncture and prescribing herbal remedies comprise the major
portion of Oriental Medicine, along with moxibustion, tai chi,
qi gong, massage, diet and exercise.
The philosophy of Oriental Medicine dictates that every individual
must be treated based upon their own condition, symptoms and physical
constitution. Every patient is evaluated as a whole, with treatment
based upon a thorough examination of symptoms, medical history, blood
pulse and physical examination, as well as concerns of emotional
and mental origin. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are a natural
medicine that encourages the body to heal itself.
