TIMOTHY WANG is practicing his internship at the clinic associated with the University of East West Medicine. He tells me the studies in Western practices and diagnoses are intense. This means that students who study oriental medicine must also be familiar with the diagnoses arrived at by Western practitioners.
ACUPUNCTURE Acupuncture seems to be particularly effective for pain control. But studies have shown it also is effective in fertility treatment as well as myriad other conditions.
HERBALISTS Acupuncturists are often also herbalists. Treatment with herbs and supplements is gentle, subtle medicine and because of this, results sometimes take a little longer to be evident.
HOLISTIC The nice thing about the practice of Oriental medicine is that it is holistic, a major contrast to Western treatment practices, which are divided into specialties. Oriental medicine looks at the whole person and prescribes treatment based on the complete picture.
Some of the practices may seem arcane to Western thinking, but Westerners who have tried treatments, such as cupping or moxabustion, swear by them, just ask Gwyneth Paltrow or Madonna.
I'm not much into alternative medicine.. But your article convinced me..
