Oriental Medicine   is a holistic system of medicine that originated about 5,000 years ago within the Orient/Asian Countries. It is the basic philosophical foundation of medicine in such countries as China, Japan, Vietnam, and Korea.

Traditional Oriental Medicine has spread from these countries throughout the world. The underlying principle is that energy (Qi- pronounced ‘Chee’) is the vital essence of the body. Health is when the flow of Qi is harmonious and balanced.
