Oriental Medicine also known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete medical system developed over 3000 years ago in China.  Like Western medicine, TCM has its own approach to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention by using acupuncture, medical massage (Tui Na), Chinese herbal formula, dietary therapy and possible lifestyle alterations 

At its most basic and simplest form, the foundation of Chinese medicine is to restore balance and harmony within the body (homeostasis).  Chinese medical theory believes in treating the body as a whole rather than treating the illness.  The approach to disease is to identify and rectify the root cause as well as treating the manifestations (symptoms) in order to prevent future reoccurrences.
