He is currently a faculty of the New York College of Traditional Chinese Medicine (www.nyctcm.edu) and Pacific College of Health and Science (www.pacificcollege.edu).  

Traditional Chinese medicine is a way to preserve, to improve and to enhance one's health. It defines illness as "imbalance"! Imbalance of your lifestyle in short, such as food/water; sleep/awake; strength/relaxation; aggressions/easiness; physical/mental; pre/post natal; self healing ability/everything that corners it; fire/water; yin/yang ................. etc. 

All kinds of health problems are the result of this imbalance. 

Health = Genetic setting + everything afterward

This gives you the space to reduce or stop your health complaints through adjust, preserve or even improve your health condition on your own.  

For instance, 

When do you go to sleep at night?

When do you wake up in the morning?

When do you have your bowel movement?

Do you exercise?

How much "water" do you drink a day?

How long do you sit on your desk a day? 

How much time do you spend in front the screen of your computer/cell phone a day?

How long has this been happening?..........................

Nothing is bad, if it's engaged in a balanced way regarding its nature, intensity, endurance etc. Once it's not balanced, it starts to affect body energy called [qi] and your health quality suffers. This happens sometimes way before the subjective symptoms appears. 

Acupuncture, herbs, body work like TaiJi, are just the practical form of this medicine to bring it back closer to this balance through adjust this [QI]. 

The whole system was developed without knowledge of any modern science. 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a method preserved by Chinese for thousands of years to adjust one's health by manipulating the body energy, [Qi], through needles in an unique system, called [CHANNELS or MERIDIANS], where the qi circulates. 

This energetic system can be approached directly by needles externally. When the needles are inserted to the right location/depth, the recipient will perceive some sensation such as heaviness, fullness, numbness or sometimes pain etc. This sensation reflects the condition of the imbalance. Acupuncture smooths the flow of the qi to reset it closer to balance.  This is the simple explanation how and why acupuncture helps.

Herbal formula

This energetic system can also be approached by herbal formula internally depends on different types of imbalances. For instance, when the energy is not rising enough, we can use ginger, mint etc. to lift. When the energy is rising flying too much, we need something to weight down to calm them down. Address heat by use of cool herbs, address accumulation by purging herbs, address deficiency by the use of tonify herbs etc. Each classical Chinese herbal remedy is an unique combination of several different herbs that has been proven to be good and safe through generations of the accumulated experience in the Chinese medical history when used properly. This form of treatment has been used in Asia for thousands of years. 

Be aware, herbs was developed without any knowledge of chemistry. 

Herbal treatment definitely has a chemical aspect like anything we put into our mouth daily including food. But these herbs are raw materials instead of purified concentrated chemicals like drugs today.  This is why FAD categorized herbs similar to food. It's relatively safer than the chemically concentrated drug. 

Individualization

Our health is like our looks. Everyone is unique and different. It's the same regarding health. Even when it shows the same positive COVID test, some needs to be in ICU, some doesn't even feel sick subjectively. Different people have different response regarding temperature even when stay in the same room with the same temperature. The treatment might be completely different even with the same complaints.

 Dynamic

Our body changes constantly like the reading of your blood pressure if you measure it repeatedly. The mechanism is way more complex than the simple linear response. Modern medicine which uses the same criteria for everyone which offers an objective and quantifiable data to evaluate health.  

The challenge is not just physical mental discomfort. Good treatment is a working process between the client and therapist to find out what, where, when, how and why regarding health issues then one can resolve, restore and improve your health. This means the client, you, has your share of responsibility to work with and help me to figure out the case. 

The best treatment is like a dance synchronized by both parties instead of just a movement carried by the therapist.   

I know with the help of traditional Chinese medicine, we can work together to build a better health for you.
