Pacific College Celebrates Chinese New Year with Free Event

Chicago, IL– Pacific College of Oriental Medicine will be hosting a free event for the public on Saturday, February 22, 2003 from 1 to 5 p.m. The college will be offering complimentary 20-minute acupuncture treatments (for smoking cessation and stress reduction), 15-minute massages, a workshop on Tai Ji, and the lectures: An Introduction to Yin & Yang, and Understanding Financial Aid. Pacific College will provide refreshments and certificates for one complimentary acupuncture treatment (new patients only). The public is invited to tour the campus and meet with staff and faculty to further their knowledge of Pacific College’s programs and the field of Oriental medicine. The event is free and open to the public.

The National Institute of Health and the World Health Organization have cited acupuncture and Oriental Medicine as an effective means of treatment. Over fifteen million acupuncture treatments are performed safely each year, and nearly half of the American population spends $27 billion annually on complementary therapies of this sort. Acupuncture therapy is beneficial for problems such as: pain, arthritis, asthma, upper respiratory conditions, digestive and urinary disorders, insomnia, depression, post-stroke paralysis, addictions and more. Acupuncture and Oriental medicine are becoming more popular as patients in increasing numbers are discovering the benefits of Oriental medicine as their primary health care therapy.
