When we start to experience symptoms of pain or illness it is our body’s way of communicating that something is out of balance. Our internal environment is speaking directly to us. This internal communication is often ignored and transforms into something much greater. We try to trim the branches of our discomfort, but ultimately the roots run much deeper. There are many factors that contribute to illness.
The ancient Chinese observed how we are inseparable from our environment, emotions, physical health and nutrition. Oriental medicine (OM) is a complete health care system based on our connection with nature, of which we are truly inseparable. We rely on sunlight to convert our vitamin D, our hormonal cycles are tied to the cycles of the moon and we nourish our cells with oxygen that is provided by plants. For almost every disease there is a plant remedy that can improve or cure that condition.
What makes Oriental Medicine unique is the holistic approach to the individual. Instead of masking the symptoms of illness, OM addresses the root cause of imbalance. This means each individual is treated as a unique entity. This is very important because the same illness will manifest differently between each person. For example, one might suffer from migraines, but they only occur when under stress and the bodies rundown. OM would address the migraines by both relieving symptoms and regulating the body’s immune response to prevent further relapse. Acupuncture provides the cellular fine tuning that enables your body to self heal.
