What is TCM / Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine ?
Oriental Medicine, also called Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is a complete medical
system that has been in existence for thousands of years. Acupuncture is one
component of TCM and involves the insertion of fine hair-like needles into specific points
or areas of the body in an attempt to treat bodily dysfunction or disease, to modify or
prevent pain perception, and to normalize the body's physiological functions.
According to TCM theory, normal health is maintained when essential energy called Qi
can flow freely throughout the body. Qi flows in channels called meridians. If there is a
"blockage" in the normal flow of Qi, disease may result. It is believed that Acupuncture
can restore the normal flow of Qi and thereby restore health to the body.
It is thought that the art of Acupuncture started by the use of Ashi or painful points.
Bones, sharpened stones, or bamboo were pressed or inserted at certain points and
found to give pain relief. Over the next few centuries, the system of points was refined
and continues to the present day.
