Our Clinical Tools
To accomplish these goals, our practitioner utilizes the many elements of Oriental Medicine. Oriental Medicine is a 3000 year old evidence-based medical system that includes the application of acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, nutritional and lifestyle counseling, moxibustion, cupping, tuina, and environmental management. The diagnosis and treatment(s) administered to patients are based on the theory and practice of Oriental Medicine.
Philosophy of Oriental medicine
Oriental Medicine is based on the natural patterns of nature. We are a product of these natural patterns and all living organisms are dependent upon these patterns and on the influences of our environment. The laws of physics and mathematics explain our universe in an ordered and balanced way, just as Newtonian physics established that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The same principles apply to how we live and our resulting health. In Asian theory, the good health of a human being is ultimately related to achieving balance and harmony. These patterns and principles of health have been documented and studied for thousands of years and provide a safe and logical way to restore health. The tools involved in achieving good health are found by following the principles of nature that the earth has established over its lifespan, i.e., the seasons, nature’s organic products, and sound sustainable environmental management.
