Welcome and thanks for visiting my

Chinese Medicine is as relevant today as it was over two thousand years
ago when it was first developed. Human disease has changed little in
the past five thousand years. Yes, there has been an incredible
reduction in infectious diseases thanks to improved hygiene, sanitation,
and vaccinations over the years; but the main health hazards that faced
the ancient Chinese are still prevalent today.
These risks to health include the physical and emotional stress caused
by living in large complex societies, overcrowding, adverse
environmental factors, lack of exercise, overwork, and poor sleeping
habits.
As a consequence, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, infertility,
impotence, asthma, allergic disorders, gastrointestinal and urogenital
disorders, acute and chronic pain, arthritis, rheumatism, anxiety and
depression among others are widespread.
These diseases represent the general malaise of civilization and no
single medical approach can solve all these problems for all people.
Chinese medicine has survived for thousands of years for the very reason
that it has been highly effective in addressing the wide range of human
ailments.
Most people don’t think about health until they feel sick
or out of balance. Usually we are too busy keeping up with life’s daily
responsibilities or focused on caring for others.
Wellness is more than just not feeling sick. It means
one is functioning at their highest possible level allowing one to meet
the demands of life. Being in a state of wellness means that the body
is in harmony, the mind is alert, the spirit is calm thus helping one
thrive in the face of environmental, physical, emotional, and mental
stresses.
Wellness care can boost one’s energy and help people
become more in tune with their bodies. It keeps minor issues from
becoming major problems.
Chinese Medicine can help you all achieve and maintain
this level of wellness. It is a great way to take a proactive approach
to your health. In working with your practitioner, you may discover
factors that affect your health, including your lifestyle and emotional
and mental states. Use regular visits to discuss how exercise,
nutrition, supplements, meditation, or other lifestyle changes can help
you.

"I've heard of people in
ancient times, who knew the secrets of the universe and held yin and
yang, the world, in the palms of their hands. They extracted
essence from nature and practiced various disciplines such as Dao Yin,
Qi Gong, and breathing and visualization exercises to integrate their
body, mind, and spirit. They remained undisturbed and thus
attained extraordinary levels of accomplishment."
- The Yellow Emperor 2500 B.C.
