How This System Works

For thousands of years, Oriental Medicine has acknowledged that there is a vital life force that flows through all things which is called ~Qi~ (pronounced “chee”). In western culture, it is often referred to as “energy.” Energy (Qi) flows along pathways in a human body, which are related to the organs, the muscular system, and nervous system. Qi balance is disturbed due to trauma, poor diet, medications, stress, hereditary conditions, environmental factors, or excessive emotional issues, then pain or illness results. Oriental Medicine focuses on correcting these imbalances, which stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal itself and focuses on treating the factors that cause disease.
