Oriental medicine has been practiced in India, China, Korea and Japan for over 5,000 years. Using a holistic model of the Universe, the ancients devised a brilliant but simple formula for health and happiness. Living in harmony with nature, family, and self is the key to a healthy fulfilling life. When one is out of harmony, difficulty, discomfort and disease may occur.

Through the natural treatments of herbs and acupuncture, internal (Qi Gong) and external (Tai Chi) energy exercises, and lifestyle awareness, we can regain and maintain harmonious well-being.

Treatment begins with observation by a highly skilled practitioner. Factors such as tone of voice, posture and facial color are noted. Then the pulse is taken in six different places to determine the state of internal organs. The tongue is then examined for size, color and coating. Next, an in-depth interview examines medical and family history, appetite, hot or cold sensations, aches and pains, personal problems, etc. Finally the doctor will recommend a customized treatment of herbs, acupuncture, moxa, meditation, Qi gong, and lifestyle adjustment.

Within each of us there exists a complex network of sensitivity points that link the surface of our bodies to our internal organs and certain physical and behavioral patterns. Through these internal "channels" of energy flow our life force or qi (pr. "chee"). Disease can often be attributed to a blockage of qi, and the acupuncturist treats disorders by inserting super-thin needles (usually painlessly) into the appropriate points. Alternatively, moxa, a special herb, can be burned at the point to produce similar effects. Acupuncture has been used to successfully treat back pain, headaches, digestive disorders, P.M.S., drug dependency, and has been used as a local anesthesia in dentistry and brain surgery!

Most ancient cultures knew that Nature, through the earth, provides all the medicine we need. Centuries of observation and deduction provided systems of herbal treatment that still are practiced today. The Chinese refined this method to an art and use over 1,000 herbs, plants, and animal parts in their system. Herbs can be used to treat a specific disorder or for toning our bodies for perfect health.
