Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine

Oriental Medicine is an ancient healing practice that has been around for thousands of years. Oriental Medicine includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition and massage. Today, it is widely used all around the world. It has been shown to treat and prevent many different diseases, relieve pain, help boost immunity, restore and revitalize
the whole body and mind, and to promote general well being. It is a safe, effective and a painless way of promoting and achieving wellness.
  Acupuncture is an ancient healing art that uses points on the body to access the qi. Qi is the same as energy or life force, it is the power that keeps our bodies moving, our hearts pumping and our minds thinking. Sometimes qi can become stuck or insufficient and then illness pursues.  Acupuncture reaches in to move or strengthen a person's qi providing balance in the body. When there is balance, symptoms tend to disappear, leaving you feeling more alive, refreshed and in harmony.
Herbs are often used to help aid and facilitate the healing process. Herbs are carefully selected depending on each individuals needs. The herbs are given either as a tea, pills or powders.
Nutrition is also an integral part of healing. Our food sources are depleted of nutrients and often our food choices can make this even worse. Chinese medicine also looks at the temperatures and characteristics of certain foods which may or may not be beneficial for you or your health conditions. 
All of the above methods work together to help bring the body back to homeostasis.
