Acupuncture
Traditional Oriental Medicine views the body as an interconnected system of physiological and psychological processes. This system can be positively or negatively influenced by diet, exercise, relationships, stress, and the environment. During the course of our lives, it is inevitable that these processes are challenged or compromised; this is when disease or problems may manifest.
The diagnostic approach of Oriental Medicine is geared towards revealing systemic weaknesses and obstructions in the body that have contributed to the onset of disease. The therapeutic strategy of Oriental Medicine is then to remove obstructions where necessary and to strengthen the body on a systemic level so that the body can begin to heal itself. Some benefits of acupuncture include:
- Restoring blood and nutrients flow
- Restoring the organ and immune function
- Promoting the healing of tissue
- Promoting physiological and autonomic balance - homeostasis
- Relieving pain
