Oriental Medicine is a comprehensive medical model developed to address all systems of the body including the respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, reproductive, immune, endocrine, nervous and musculoskeletal. As a Holistic model, the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual areas of life are perceived as one and as interdependent. Although we can talk about symptoms arising in one part of the body, mind or emotions, because they are not separate, when we affect one, we necessarily affect them all. This is why an acupuncture needle inserted in the body can have a balancing effect on the emotions and also why managing depression can relieve physical symptoms like headaches or skin disorders. Many conditions are effectively diagnosed and treated according to the theories of Oriental Medicine including acute or chronic pain, chronic illnesses, fatigue, colds and flu, allergies, anxiety, depression, and stress.
