Physical, mental and emotional illness and disease manifest when our life energy is not balanced or circulating properly. Stimulating the points where life energy can be accessed (acupuncture points) balances the energy and helps it circulate optimally, facilitating improved health and a sense of well being.

- digestive, respiratory, cardio-vascular, reproductive, nervous, endocrine, exocrine, immune, skeletal, lymphatic, and integument (skin) systems

Acupuncture/meridian therapy assists the body's recuperative powers and enables the optimal functioning of all the body's systems. Thus, the activities of bio-medicine ("modern medicine") are considerably enhanced for those who utilize Oriental Medicine as their primary or as part of their primary health care practices.
Shonishin, a unique system of pediatric medicine, is a highly developed form of non-invasive diagnosis and therapy used to treat infants, children, and the elderly. The shonishin system developed in Osaka, Japan about 380 years ago. It is painless, rather enjoyable, and quite effective for childhood health maintenance and restoration. In addition, Te a Te (bodywork), nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy and traditional folk medicine are also employed in the treatment of children and adults.
