what is traditional eastern medicine?

Traditional Eastern Medicine (TEM) has been practiced for thousands of years and includes acupuncture, herbal medicines, Moxibuston, massage and nutrition. The populations of countries such as China, Korea and Japan use TEM on a regular basis and it is a popular alternative to Western medicine here in the USA. There have been numerous studies undertaken that have shown the effectiveness of Traditional Eastern Medicines. In 1997 the U.S. National Institutes of Health published a Consensus Statement on the use and effectiveness of acupuncture for a variety of conditions. TEM works to balance the disharmonies of the body and takes into account every aspect of life such as your surroundings, your emotional state, physical state, and habits when making a diagnosis. Unlike in Western medicine your body is treated as a whole to achieve maximum wellness and longevity.

Dr Koh specializes in pain therapy and rehabilitation but also treats symptoms affiliated with weight problems, addiction, internal medicine, women’s health and infertility. He is one of a few select Doctors of Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (D.A.O.M.). There are less than 100 acupuncturists with this degree out of a total of over 20,000 acupuncturists in the United States. With knowledge and care Dr Koh will work with you to help your body and make it stronger.

Personalised treatments can include acupuncture, electro acupuncture, ear acupuncture, acupressure, cupping (glass cup used as a vacuum to stimulate blood circulation), Moxibuston (heat therapy), massage, diet, lifestyle and nutritional counseling and prescription of traditional herbal medicines.

As a Master of Oriental Medicine, Dr Koh has had extensive training and practise with Herbal Medicines. Herbal medicines are used by millions of people for a wide range of reasons. There are over 7,000 natural herbs identified in China and Korea and about 4,000 of these are commonly used in the United States. Medicines can contain both natural plant and animal product and negative reactions are extremely rare. There are strict guidelines on the use of rare animals. Herbs are used in combinations that are created to treat the individual patient. This differs to Western medicines that are created to treat a certain illness (e.g./migraines) and not the individual. Traditional Eastern Medicine can treat all ailments and all people.

If you have ever considered Traditional Eastern Medicine consider Dr Koh. His caring nature and extensive knowledge will make your experience enjoyable as well as therapeutic.
