ORIENTAL MEDICINEORIENTAL MEDICINE

Oriental Medicine, also referred to as Chinese Medicine, is a fully-ripened, fully integrated medical system. It is a complete approach to health, healing and well-being that has been tested, refined and used successfully for nearly 5,000 years. Because of its comprehensive philosophy and foundation based on the principles of Nature, Oriental Medicine is capable of addressing any disease or disorder that may arise in the modern world, just as effectively as those which existed in antiquity. Oriental medicine is made up of five distinct branches 1) Acupuncture, 2) Herbal Medicine, 3) Nutritional and Dietary Science, 4) Medical Massage and Manipulation of energy and form, known as Qigong, and then finally, but most essentially for good health, is 5) Good Thinking or Positive Thinking. A sincere and dedicated practitioner of Oriental Medicine practices all of these as an art in his/her own life and applies them as medicine to benefit others.

ACUPUNCTUREACUPUNCTURE

Acupuncture is one branch of the greater field of Oriental Medicine. It is a highly effective medical modality that works by regulating the body’s bio-electric life force called Qi (pronounced chee). The World Health Organization has long recognized an extensive list of diseases and disorders that can be successfully treated with acupuncture, based on clinical evidence from controlled trials performed over more than six decades and in many countries around the world.

Our acupuncture treatments are both gentle and powerful. Patients generally find the experience to be profoundly relaxing and yet feel energized and clear when the treatment is complete. We also have available laser, micro-current and electro-stimulation treatments for patients who prefer  alternatives to traditional acupuncture.

MEDICAL QIGONGMEDICAL QIGONG

Qigong (pronounced Chee Gung) is the ancient energetic root of Oriental Medicine. Using breath, posture, and conscious intention, Qigong is the practical integration of mind-body medicine. Today, many millions of people in China and across Asia use Qigong for healing, keeping the body and mind vital and flexible, and for personal development, enrichment and realization. It is a healing art form that uses the mind not only to heal the body, but also to heal itself. Because it is not bound by any theological system, it can be used to deepen one’s experience of life regardless of one’s personal philosophy, religion or belief system.

Why Natural Primary Care?

We all want the best healthcare for ourselves and loved ones. Unfortunately, the current healthcare system is not set up for long-term success — it works reactively instead of stopping problems before they occur. You typically only see a doctor when something is wrong or once a year for a basic snapshot of your health. We have built a better system using natural modalities and medicinals that activate and support the innate healing wisdoms of the body without the side effects of modern Western allopathic medicine.

At Marin Oriental & Integrative Medicine, patients enjoy a concierge level of care. We use traditional, result-based and modern, evidence-based approaches to health with a focus on preventive and proactive medicine. We partner with patients to create personalized plans and practical stratagies to help you lead a truly happy, healthy life.

healings helped me profoundly

"I’m a senior therapist, but in the wake of the fires that devastated my area in Northern California, I just couldn’t find my way out of the trauma. Dr. Devatara helped me like I never imagined anyone ever could! Her words, her wisdom and her amazingly powerful remote healings helped me profoundly. In just a few treatments, I find myself again standing on high ground and the wisdom lotus has now bloomed from the ashes."

Since I started seeing her, over twelve years ago now, I have learned so much about how to live a healthy life, how to cultivate wisdom and how to increase happiness in my life – for the benefit of myself and others equally. I now have little need for invasive forms of Western medicine and know how to keep myself healthy. Dr. Devatara has helped me and taught me in profound and innumerable ways. Thank you so much!"

Eternally grateful to have found this program

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Evan, in their smoking cessation program. It was a program that included acupuncture, supplements, coaching, and some diet modification. While never easy to quit smoking, Dr. Evan got me in a very balanced place, physically and mentally before the big quit day, and I experienced VERY little discomfort. Dr. Evan is an unceasingly patient, warm and caring practitioner-- really, the definition of a healer. I am eternally grateful to have found this program, and SO grateful to be an ex-smoker. I know that I will never again be in the grip of that addiction, and also know that if I ever feel insecure about it, Dr. Evan will be there to guide me through any kind of backsliding. He is a very kind soul!

Pain level dramatically reduced

I have been coming for treatments for arthritis for about 1 year. My pain level has dramatically reduced. My pain level was at 9 and now I am at a 2, so very happy with the care. Highly recommended.

A New Perspective

Hands-on Healing

If you are wanting more contact, more listening, and more discussion with your doctors, you have come to the right place. The doctors at Marin Oriental & Integrative Medicine provide you with extended office visits that allow the time needed to establish a not only the relationship you want with your health provider, but the proper diagnosis and treatment. We utilize the four methods of traditional Chinese medical diagnosis including Inquiring, Listening, Inspection and Palpation. We also utilize the traditional pulse and tongue diagnosis. More than anything else, we see you as an individual with health concerns, not just a walking diagnosis. Our treatments include acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation, medical qigong, mindfulness training, dietary regulation, and lifestyle coaching.

 

Modern Methods

In our Integrative medical practice, we incorporate the most advanced technology in bloodwork diagnistics to identify problem areas long before they appear as disease, to treat and to follow your progress.  This includes the Functional Medical Analysis of standard bloodwork and specialized lab testing. Imagery and other allopathic testing results are reviewed and included in your diagnostic profile. We also make use of cutting-edge technology in modern Oriental medicine including Ryodoraku, electroacupuncture, CES, far infra-red therapy, and laser stimulation.
