What is Traditional Oriental Medicine?
Traditional Oriental Medicine practitioners use various psychological and/or physical approaches (such as acupuncture) as well as herbal products to address health problems.
Traditional Oriental Medicine is based on balance, harmony, and energy.
Its basic concept is that a vital force of life, called Qi, surges through the body. Any imbalance to Qi can cause disease and illness. This imbalance is most commonly thought to be caused by an alteration in the opposite and complementary forces that make up the Qi.
The balance between health and disease is a key concept. Traditional Oriental Medicine treatment seeks to restore this balance through treatment specific to the individual.
What Kind of Practices Does Traditional Oriental Medicine Use?
To restore harmony, the Acupuncturist and Traditional Medicine practitioner may use any of a staggeringly large array of traditional remedies. The patient may be treated with:
- Acupuncture;
- Cupping;
- Herbs;
- Moxibustion;
- Tai chi.
