Acupuncture
Acupuncture, one of the main forms of therapy in Traditional Oriental Medicine, has been practiced for at least 2,500 years. In acupuncture, specific points on the body are stimulated by the insertion of fine needles.
The needles are twirled or rotated as they are inserted. Many patients feel nothing at all during this procedure, while others experience a prickling or aching sensation, and still others a feeling of warmth or heaviness.
Oriental Medicine
Traditional medicine can be defined as the knowledge, skills and practices of holistic health care, recognized and accepted for its role in the maintenance of health and the treatment of diseases.
It is based on indigenous theories, beliefs and experiences that are handed down from generation to generation (Development of National Policy on Traditional Medicine, Manila, WHO, 2000).
