Traditional Oriental Medicine has been used for hundreds of years. Until decades ago, Oriental Medicine doctors were using some traditional tools including acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicine. Now, however, they are using modern tools including electroacupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and electric moxibustion and traditional ones.

Oriental Medicine doctors relied on their own sensors and diagnostic skills to get information of body and disease from patients.
