Whenever possible, I believe in choosing a natural path to health and I emphasize the same for my patients. I find that acupuncture and homeopathy are powerful modalities in restoring the physiological and energetic balance in the body. I view illness and pain as an injury to one's vital force (Qi, life energy). Rather than reactively attack the disease or injury, my approach to acupuncture is to restore health and balance in the vital force, which in turn allows the body to heal itself.

As experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, we concentrate on what our patient's goal of the visit and achieve it from either maximizing the symptom relief or improving the current condition. In addition to traditional Chinese medicine, we also value the importance of clinical diagnosis from western medicine. The integrative traditional Chinese and western medicine has become one of the most effective methods on our patients.
