Oriental Medicine (OM) is one of the major forms of alternative medicine that is primarily based on the concept of balanced flow of energy through human bodies. It is one of the major traditional Chinese medical practices that primarily include some of the traditional therapies and oriental diagnosis. Practiced for almost 2000 years now, this is one of its own kinds of medicinal system that generally classifies body patterns into the different types of diagnoses with corresponding treatment plans.
The most commonly known treatment method of Oriental Medicine is acupuncture. In this form of treatment, very fine needles are inserted into the body at specific locations just to balance the flow of energy. However, this practice not just includes acupuncture, but also herbal medicine, nutrition, Tui Na (a major type of therapeutic massage), and Qi Gong (popular as breathing exercises). The most interesting part is each of them shares the long history, practice, and effectiveness in dealing with different sort of illnesses and maintenance of good health.
