Acupuncture Treatment in Traditional Oriental Medicine

"Acupuncture treatment, drawing from traditional Eastern medicine, is based on key principles:

1. **Meridian and Acupoint Theory:** Traditional Eastern medicine views the body as a flow of energy (qi) through meridians and specific points (acupoints). Acupuncture uses needles and moxibustion on these meridians and acupoints to enhance harmony within the body.

2. **Yin-Yang and Five Elements:** Eastern medicine posits that balance between yin and yang, as well as the five elements, affects health. Acupuncture seeks to adjust this balance, promoting the flow of energy within the body to restore harmony.

3. **Comprehensive Diagnosis:** Diagnosis in Eastern medicine considers not only symptoms but also the condition of the tongue and pulse, the patient's constitution, and lifestyle. Treatment plans are tailored based on this comprehensive assessment.

4. **Activation of Natural Healing:** Acupuncture stimulates the body's natural healing abilities, fostering balance and alleviating pain or discomfort.

Treatment typically involves inserting needles or using moxibustion on specific points related to the patient's symptoms. As each individual's symptoms and constitution vary, specialized diagnosis and treatment are essential."
