"Chinese medicine", often called "Oriental medicine" or "traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)", encompasses a vast array of folk medical practices. It holds that the body's vital energy (chi or qi) circulates through 14 channels, called meridians, that have branches connected to bodily organs and functions. Illness is attributed to imbalance or interruption of this chi. Ancient practices such as acupuncture restore balance to the body. Gloria Verástegui, OMD uses only sterilized, disposible needles.
