Bitterroot Acupuncture & Herbarium

About Us: Chinese medicine is the oldest, professional, continually practiced, secular, literate medicine in the world. This medical system's written literature stretches back almost 2,500 years. Currently, 1/4 of the world's population uses it. One can say that modern Western and traditional Chinese medicines are the two dominant medical systems in the world today.

This system has been created by some of the best educated and brightest scholars in Chinese history. They documented their theories and clinical experiences and passed this knowledge down from one generation to the next. It is estimated that there are between 30-40,000 books on Chinese medicine still in existence that were written before the year 1900. Since then, thousands of books and articles in professional journals have been written and published in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan.

Pattern Diagnosis is the “hallmark” of TCM, the world’s oldest, continually practiced, literate, professional medicine, serving one fourth of the world’s population. A “pattern” is a constellation of signs and symptoms that are generally found to exist simultaneously. In other words, various symptoms tend to occur together, that is, they form a “pattern”. There are many types of patterns within TCM.


Western Medical disease diagnosis is similarly addressed in TCM with Pattern Diagnosis. The symptoms are grouped together into their TCM “patterns” and then addressed with acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine to resolve the patterns and therefore the Western Medical disease.
