TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE uses five methods to treat illness: Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs, Nutrition, Tui Na, a form of massage and Qi Gong, an eastern exercise. Acupuncture is the main method and employs the use of small very hair-thin needles at specific sites on the body.
In Western terminology, the action that results from the insertion of the needle causes the immune system of the body to respond. As a result, blood flow and neurotransmitters move to release the area affected by illness, whether it is pain from physical trauma or other internal disorders of the organs. The increased flow of blood and endorphins reduces pain and improves functioning of the organs. |

However, this Western explanation reduces the true Eastern philosophy into extremely simplistic terms. The Chinese refer to the energy behind these actions as Qi (energy). This Qi can become obstructed by physical injury, psychological stress and lifestyle. Releasing areas of obstruction will free the flow, promoting improved health.
Oriental medicine takes into account many causative factors involved in disease. All factors, including genetics, trauma, psychological, nutritional, environmental and external invasions of viruses are considered when a pattern of illness arises.
