Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture Oriental Medicine is a complex healing art based on the natural ability of the body to heal itself. Treatments may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and meditative exercises such as Qi Gong (pronounced “Chee Gong”) and Tai Chi (pronounced Tie Chee). Oriental Medicine is based on the principle of balancing the body’s vital force or Qi. This energy flows through pathways called meridians, which connect fluids, tissues, and organ systems. When the balance of this energy is disturbed, pain and illness result. Trauma, poor diet, stress, medications, hereditary conditions, or your environment can cause imbalance.
