Oriental Medicine
Oriental Medicine looks at the body as a whole because a weakness in one area could cause a deficiency in another area. The practice can include acupuncture, traditional Chinese herbs, moxibustion, cupping, and Oriental massage; and it has been practiced for more than 2,500 years. The practitioner takes time to discuss one’s lifestyle, including diet, relaxation, and exercise. Besides nutritional counseling, a practitioner might also recommend the practice of Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and meditation to help bring one’s life back into balance.
