How does Oriental Medicine help prevent illness?
Illness occurs when our bodies are weakened or when we have an imbalance, both of which can prevent the proper circulation of qi (pronounced “chi”). When qi cannot circulate properly, our emotions become imbalanced, we can become stressed and bacteria and viruses that would normally be repelled can attack our bodies. Acupuncture and herbal therapy can strengthen and improve the flow of the body’s qi making us less susceptible to disease.
