What is Oriental Medicine and  acupuncture?

 

Acupuncture is a part of Oriental medicine which has been used for thousands of years to bring healing and balance to people around the world. Today, it uses very thin, sterile single-use needles in specific points on people’s bodies, including on their hands, feet, ears and face. Oriental medicine is a full system of diagnosis, treatment, and preventative medicine. It comes from a holistic philosophy of health and well-being, and includes other treatment methods such as cupping, moxibustion, gua sha, massage, dietary and Chinese herbal counseling.
