My Philosophy
Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture are considered one of the most trusted professions in China and in the US. It has become increasingly recognized therapeutic modality.
It’s no longer an exotic curiosity. The reason for this is at the core of TCM we consider you as a whole —- emotionally and physically.
I see pain and illness as an expression of an imbalanced body. I strongly believe all types of illnesses are the consequences of the three: emotion, unhealthy lifestyle and family hereditary.
When your body and mind are in harmony, there should be smooth flow of energy which we called Chi. Emotion has direct impact on the physical health, it can disrupt the smooth flow of Chi.
For example: a person gets very frustrated and irritated being stuck in traffic, he now has an emotional problem which will affect his appetite. The beauty of TCM is that it treats both the root cause and the manifestation of the disease.
In the scenario above, the person comes in for a treatment to improve his appetite, the acupuncturist can diagnosis him through inquiry. After obtaining the information from the patient, the acupuncturist is now able to give him treatments accordingly and advise the patient to be aware of balancing his emotions.
The goal of acupuncture is to activate self-healing. By placing the needles in certain points of the body, it stimulates the Chi or energy, the Chi then travels through the channels called meridians.
