Women's Health


Many women's health issues are related to hormonal imbalances and lowered immune response. My
approach to the health problems that often afflict women (listed below) is to tonify the meridian where it is
deficient and to disperse the excess areas of the affected meridian so that the body and mind return to the
original balanced state.

How do I do it? I use a combination of the following techniques: acupuncture needles, far-infrared heat lamps,
Chinese herbs, essential oils and other linaments, and tuina (meridian) massage. Tuina massage is a
powerful technique that I use after I find the blockage or stagnation in the affected meridian to help remove
the blockage. Usually, the patient feels soreness in the area where the blockage exists before the treatment;
after the treatment, the patient feels better.

Think of the problem as a four-lane highway that suddenly reduces to one lane. A traffic jam would occur,
bringing with it many related problems. A traffic jam also happens in the body when a blockage creates
stagnation. The achiness or pain you feel is a traffic jam in your channel system that is waiting for the lane to
be cleared. My job is to find the affected area and open the channel so that you do not need to suffer from
the pain any longer.

Some patients may require only one treatment, while others may need to come in on a regular basis in the
beginning and then for maintenance treatments once a month. It all depends on the individual. Oriental
medicine is a safe, effective, and natural healthcare option for woman that can serve as a complement or
alternative to Western medicine.
