In Korea, there is a saying ‘일침(一鍼) 이구(二灸) 삼약(三藥)’, which means ‘First is
Acupuncture, Second is Moxibustion, and Third is Herbs’.
However, there is another meaning that is ‘First is Heaven, Second is Earth, and Third is Human.’ So treating patients with Oriental Medicine means to use all universal energy.
