A holistic medical view involves more than symptoms and medications. It also includes lifestyle, diet, stress management, and emotional health; every facet of our lives plays a part in determining our bodies' health and/or disease.  Oriental medicine, which includes acupuncture, Chinese herbs, cupping, and moxibustion is a truly holistic medicine.  Many people are combining the time tested wisdom of acupuncture with the amazing medical advances of today to live fuller, healthier lives.
