Oriental
Medicine is an ancient approach to treating illness and building health
with natural medicine.
- The energy system
underlies the physical body, mind, emotions and spirit.
- If the energy is
balanced, the person is healthy. Health is a state of wellness and inner
peace.
- If there is an
energy imbalance, it will manifest as physical symptoms.
- Treating the energy
system addresses the cause of illness, not merely the symptoms.
THE
ORIENTAL HEALING ARTS
- There are three
major healing arts in Oriental medicine: Bodywork Therapy, Acupuncture,
and Herbal & Diet Therapy
- One aim of these
therapies is to rebalance the energy system so the body can heal itself.
ORIENTAL
BODYWORK THERAPY

of body tissues to rebalance the energy system.

used to treat a wide range of health problems, and maintain balance.

of health conditions; also restores mental & emotional well-being.
CHINESE
HERBAL MEDICINE & DIETARY THERAPY
- The use of natural
substances to rebalance the energy system. Chinese herbs have been used
for thousands of years to treat illness and build health.
- The substances

and effective when prescribed by a trained practitioner on the basis
of an individual assessment.

not be self-prescribed, or taken on the recommendation of an untrained
person
