What are other aspects of Oriental Medicine?
There are three main branches of Oriental medicine, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and Qigong exercises (energy cultivation). The main objective of each branch is to bring about a smooth flow of Qi and to balance the organ systems. Some other clinical techniques include gwa-sha (gentle & painless skin scraping), cupping (vacuum therapy), moxibustion (heat therapy), liniments for pain & trauma, Tui Na, and external Qigong (energy work).
