What is Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine?
Acupuncture is a healing practice that has been used for thousands of years in China and is still practiced throughout the world. Through the insertion of hair-like needles into specific points on the body a person's health can be prodded to regain harmony.
There are many ways to look at Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, but the most basic view is that when there is balance there are no problems. Only when something is out of balance, do we experience illness or pain. Acupuncture is a way to influence the body back into balance and therefore back to health.
Besides the use of needles, a practitioner may use or suggest other methods such as: massage, diet recommendation, exercise, gua sha, cupping, ion cords, and other tools to assist you in achieving optimum health.
