What is Oriental Medicine?
Oriental Medicine is a comprehensive medical system originally
formulated in China thousands of years ago. Today it is used
throughout the world to help preserve health and treat simple to
complex medical conditions.
What is Qi?
At the heart of Oriental Medicine is the concept of Qi, an energy
force that exists everywhere. This essential life-bearing force flows
freely throughout the body in a healthy person. When this energy is
obstructed or out of balance illness can ensue. Oriental medicine
seeks to reestablish and maintain the balanced movement of Qi. It
strives not only to resolve illness, but also to assist in the
preservation of health.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is the insertion of thin, disposable, sterile needles into
specific points on the body. The areas selected are believed to be
active energetic points that act as gateways into the nobody's
energetic system. Inserting needles into these locations promotes

reestablishing balance,
