Oriental medicine is a health care system that exists outside the standard Western medicine field. Oriental medicine has been practiced over 3,000 years ago and combines the advantages of acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, lifestyle habits and dietary changes, and meditation. Today, the Western world is beginning to accept this herbal medicine as an alternative to Western medicine. The basic principles of Oriental medicine's health, illness, and physical function are quite different from those of Western medicine. Chinese medicine experts use herbal medicine to balance the energy that flows through the invisible pathway and the meridians in the body, or to weigh them (to pronounce "Qi"). According to worldwide research, Chinese herbal medicine may succeed in treating various diseases.

Oriental medicine (Traditional): Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), or Chinese medicine is an ancient medical system that deeply understands the laws and patterns of nature and applies them to the human body. TCM contains a variety of practices with a history of over 5000 years rooted in the ancient Taoist philosophy. The difference between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine lies in the relationship between the world and the human body. This view is based on human perceptions of ancient Chinese people - humans are the larger universe of the universe around them - related to nature and influenced by their power. The human body is thought to be an organic entity with different organs, tissues and other parts with different functions but interdependent. In this view, health and illness are related to the balance of function.
