Energy - Vital substance produced by the organs flowing on pathways to every
cell in the body. Energy moves the blood.

Blood - Fluid circulated by the organs and energy through the vascular
system, carrying oxygen and nutrients to every cell in the body. Blood
nourishes the energy.

Organ - Part of the body adapted for specific functions that govern health,
including the production of blood and energy.

Acupuncture - Insertion of hair-thin needles into the body at specific points in
the treatment of health problems.

Chinese Herbal Medicine - Method of composing herbal formulas taken
internally in the treatment of health problems.

Stress. Physical, chemical, or emotional stressors can cause the organs to
malfunction, blood to stagnate, and energy to stagnate. The function and
healing process of vital body parts are affected at this point and although
extreme health problems have been observed, it is more often not noticed at
all. If the condition is allowed to go untreated, the body will attempt to support
the affected area, but as the problem increases, the area starts to degenerate.

The longer the condition is allowed to go untreated, the less chance there is
for recovery. What began as a minor problem or discomfort may lead to
irreversible damage.

The purpose of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine is to return flow of
energy and blood back to normal and to reinstate optimal organ function. This
will, in turn, encourage restored function to the affected area and the body will
begin to health itself. If detected early, organ malfunction and blood and/or
energy stagnation may respond well to Oriental Medicine with an excellent
chance for a complete and painless recovery.
