Sharing of Knowledge

Welcome to Natural Healing Place! I am a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Practitioner, and I am here to share some helpful health-related knowledge with you.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has a history of over 5000 years in China. TCM is considered as a Complementary and Alternative Medicine. TCM treats the root of each presenting illness, instead of controlling the symptoms alone. Symptoms of illness occur because the intricate balance between the internal organs in the body has been disrupted. By restoring that balance at the root of the problem, symptoms will naturally disappear. Also, TCM treats the human body as a whole, and not as individual parts. Using acupuncture treatments, herbal remedies, and by promoting a healthy lifestyle, balance can be restored in the body and your body will heal naturally, as it is designed to.

Acupuncture is done by inserting sterile and disposable filiform needles into various acupuncture points in the body, and acupuncture works by ways of Qi (or energy) manipulation. Based on the patients' condition, sensitivity and the practitioner's style, the patient may or may not feel something. Again, each individual case is different. Some patients may feel sensation more than others.

Herbal medicine is very powerful. It can improve many conditions that Western medicine cannot successfully treat. It is also very safe, because all ingredients are plants or animal products, or minerals that are found in nature. Each formula is meant to be prescribed for each patient's individual condition uniquely. Therefore, please do not try to take someone else's formula just because it works for that person. Even with similar syndromes, the underlying body condition of each patient can be very different.

Feel free to leave messages, comments or ask questions, I will try my best to assist you. Wishing you a healthy and joyful life, and may you find healing in areas of need.

Sincerely,

Licensed Acupuncturist, MSTCM, Diplomate in Oriental Medicine
