    Although many people only seek help when actually ill or in pain, Oriental Medicine is an excellent preventative to disease, as it boosts immunity, reduces stress, and balances bodily energies.  Prevention is the best medicine.  Keep this in mind during cold/flu season, when planning travel, or in other times of stress and disharmony.
