What we treat
Metal,Wood,Water, Fire, Earth.
Multi-dimensional holistic healing of
Body, Mind & Spirit.
Holistic healing regards the entire universe as a comprehensive system. The characteristics of the Five Elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth) make up the elements of the universe and create an overall balance. When the balance is in harmony, we have health and prosperity, on the contrary, disease happens when our body is out of balance, or in a state of unnatural balance. So our treatment is to break this natural balance and restore our body, mind and spirit back to its original natural state.
Common Health Issues.
Neck, Shoulder Pain
Low Back pain
IBS
Hay Fever.
Pollen allergy, also known as allergic rhinitis, is a common allergic reaction that frequently troubles many individuals. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, there's a unique understanding of the symptoms, causes, and treatment methods for pollen allergy.
The symptoms of pollen allergy include allergic reactions, such as swelling, watery eyes, sneezing, headaches, inability to concentrate, and overall body discomfort. Patients have weakened immune systems, struggling to adapt to changes in the external environment.
-
pollen allergy may block the governing and conception vessels, which is related to respiratory issues and may cause nasal problems, even numbness in the face.
-
Pollen allergy could affect the brain's meninges, directly influencing sensory organs, resulting in headaches and breathing difficulties.
-
In the view of traditional Chinese medicine, cold pathogenic factors may accumulate in the body during the cold season, triggering pollen allergy. Treatment methods often involve clearing the governing and conception vessels, which are directly related to the symptoms of pollen allergy. Adjusting these meridians can help alleviate symptoms of pollen allergy, enhance the patient's resistance, and improve their quality of life.
Neck, Shoulder / Frozen Shoulder.
Shoulder, neck, and back pain are currently common causes of discomfort, resulting from technological advancements, lifestyle changes, and stress, giving rise to numerous issues. Neck, shoulder, and back pain are often interconnected, sometimes related to headaches as well. This is usually due to blockages in the meridian lines within the body regions and the blockage of (cold and damp) energy.
-
The root cause of these diseases is often due to mental stress and external cold and damp influences. These factors not only lead to physical symptoms but may also trigger psychological problems, mental health issues, and spinal problems.
-
Especially when people feel stressed, their shoulders become tense, and much tension and stress can accumulate in the shoulders, affecting spinal health. Invasion by cold and dampness can further exacerbate the condition.
-
We need to recognize the connection between stress and the shoulders; stress could become the underlying cause of long-term spinal issues. Therefore, in the treatment process, we also need to focus on stress relief. While these common causes may not be fatal, they significantly impact the quality of life.
Treatment method: By clearing the meridian lines, massaging or applying electric therapy, muscles can be relaxed, restoring their natural state.
IBS.
Digestive issues, especially irritable bowel syndrome, are common health problems that have a negative impact on the lives of many. The main cause of onset is dietary issues, poor eating habits such as consuming foods that are detrimental to the digestive system, which can lead to gastrointestinal problems. Consuming overly hot or cold foods can also stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in excessive acidity in the digestive system. Furthermore, consuming cold foods or foods containing addictive chemicals can also affect normal gastrointestinal function.
-
One of the causes of digestive issues is the accumulation of cold and dampness in the digestive system. This can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and can also affect normal bowel movements.
-
Additionally, digestive issues are related to psychological stress, which can cause symptoms such as constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux, and heartburn.
-
Toxins lingering in the body can exacerbate pain and even lead to diseases such as colitis and cancer. Moreover, overeating and consuming greasy foods can also worsen digestive problems.
Using methods to clear meridians and harmonize internal organs can help relieve symptoms and restore health.
Lower Back Pain.
Lower back pain is a common ailment that affects the quality of life for many. Lumbar disc herniation is a possible cause of lower back pain, involving the soft tissues between the lumbar vertebrae. It can occur due to incorrect posture, position, or twisting injury. Another factor to consider is the point of exertion in the body. The lower back supports the entire body, making the health of the lumbar vertebrae crucial for maintaining a normal life and activities. The lumbar vertebrae are where bodily strength originates and act as the fulcrum for the body. If there are issues in the lower back, it can not only affect daily activities but might also lead to an inability to care for oneself.
-
The causes of lower back pain can be considered from the perspectives of external and internal trauma. Externally, it might be caused by injuries such as twists or strains. Internally, environmental factors like wind, cold, dampness, or heat could be involved.
-
It's important to note that lower back health is closely related to the aging of the body. As a support point, the health of the lower back influences the stability of the entire body, which in turn affects daily life. Therefore, regularly paying attention to lower back health, taking preventive measures, and seeking appropriate treatment are crucial for maintaining a healthy body.
-
Our treatment addresses not only the skeletal aspect but also the surrounding meridians and muscles, as the positioning of the skeleton is influenced by the habits and memory of the surrounding muscles. For lower back pain, we can offer a range of treatments. Among these, orthopedic therapy is a common method. By adjusting the position of the spine, clearing meridians, and promoting circulation of qi and blood, the relief of lower back pain can be achieved.
Shortness of Breath Asthma.
Respiratory obstruction is caused by long-term blockages in the lungs, leading to damage to the tracheal mucosa. Additionally, dampness accumulation within the lungs can cause respiratory system damage, generating irritative reactions. This further results in lung congestion, which under external stimuli, might lead to more damage to lung tissue.

-
The common sequelae of the COVID-19 virus involve lung tissue damage, necessitating proper care.
-
In terms of treatment, we focus on regulating the governing and conception vessels. These meridians play a significant role in regulating the flow of qi and blood within the body and balancing yin and yang. By regulating these meridians, the fundamental issues leading to patient symptoms can be improved.
Insomnia.
Insomnia refers to the difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, leading to more severe mental health problems such as anxiety, depression, and loss of hope in life.
-
Insomnia is caused by various factors, such as digestive system issues causing discomfort, affecting sleep quality; liver function impairment - the liver is believed to be related to emotional regulation in traditional Chinese medicine.
-
Stagnation of liver qi might lead to insomnia and other issues; excessive thinking or stress - excessive thinking, anxiety, and stress can make falling asleep difficult, leading to insomnia; or menopause: women going through menopause might experience sleep problems due to hormonal changes.
-
Treatment for insomnia includes Chinese herbal medicine: certain herbs with calming properties may help improve sleep quality. Regulating liver qi is a treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine that helps regulate the circulation of liver qi and blood, assisting in alleviating emotional instability, anxiety, and potentially improving insomnia symptoms. Lifestyle adjustments: maintaining a regular sleep schedule, avoiding excessive use of electronic devices, engaging in moderate exercise, etc., can all help improve insomnia. Personal psychological therapy: psychological counseling can help change negative thought patterns, reduce anxiety and depressive emotions, thus improving insomnia issues.
Weight Loss.
Obesity is becoming an increasingly common problem in modern society, causing negative impacts on both the quality of life and physical fitness of individuals. Obesity can lead to various cardiovascular diseases and also result in thickened blood, triggering issues such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar. In severe cases, it can lead to cardiovascular blockages and coronary heart disease. Weight gain can also exacerbate joint burdens, leading to joint aging and calcification.
-
The fundamental cause of obesity lies in metabolic issues, primarily driven by two factors: excessive energy intake, insufficient expenditure, and a lack of adequate physical activity; and the influence of cold and dampness, where a cold and humid environment makes the body more prone to storing fat in colder areas.
-
Furthermore, obesity can reduce the quality of life and work, leading to constant feelings of fatigue. Slow thinking and decreased work efficiency can lead to various emotional discomforts and nameless worries. Negative emotions not only harm physical health but also worsen bodily problems.
-
Our weight loss method is derived from the fasting practices of Daoism and Buddhism, which have a history of several thousand years. Unlike simple fasting, this method is conducted in stages and is tailored according to the principles of the body's yin and yang elements. During the fasting period, it's not complete abstinence from food; rather, it involves consuming vitality-infused soups made from herbal ingredients to provide essential nutrients and protect internal organs. Throughout the weight loss process, we also focus on supplying the body with high-quality proteins and nutrients to ensure a healthy process without adverse consequences.
Our weight loss method doesn't only concern external beauty but also enhances overall life quality. It helps overcome various obstacles in life, including clearing free radicals from the body, cleansing waste from blood vessels, and adjusting emotional states, thus comprehensively promoting health.
Edema &Water Retainment.
Weak kidney and heart functions hinder the smooth flow of blood. Cold accumulates in areas prone to edema, obstructing the flow of qi and blood circulation, even penetrating into muscles and tissues, potentially due to nerve blockages or pressure.
-
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, the coordination of the liver, spleen, and kidneys is related to edema issues.
-
The metabolism of fluids is closely connected to the functions of these organs, and blocked meridians can lead to fluid stagnation and swelling. In regions with high humidity, edema issues can be particularly pronounced. If left untreated, initial problems might manifest as limb swelling, which can lead to vein inflammation, blood stasis, muscle decay, and even non-septic inflammation spreading to the bone marrow.
-
However, this condition can be effectively treated. By regulating the meridians of the heart, liver, and kidneys, promoting blood and qi circulation, and combining appropriate exercise, metabolism and sweating can be stimulated to eliminate excess water. If you are troubled by this condition, it's crucial to seek suitable treatment methods early to restore the body's balance.
Skin Disease .
There are many types of skin diseases, such as eczema, vitiligo, acne, and pimples. The skin is the body's largest respiratory organ, and toxins that accumulate within the body over time will be expelled through the skin. Therefore, skin problems not only affect appearance but also reflect internal issues, such as blockages and endocrine imbalances.
-
Many young people experience endocrine imbalances due to irregular lifestyles, irregular diets, and added psychological stress, leading to unstable emotions. This endocrine imbalance can result in blockages in the body's meridians, preventing proper drainage. During the onset of skin diseases, individuals may experience itching, which can have various causes.
-
Skin diseases can also pose significant risks, lowering the body's overall health from 100 to 0 and weakening the immune system, thus making the body more susceptible to infections from external bacteria. Initially, skin diseases damage the surface layer of the skin, reducing its protective and detoxifying capabilities and hindering bacterial infections. Skin issues primarily stem from the emergence of internal toxins, such as ingesting contaminated food, water, and polluted air. Particularly, the lungs can be affected by toxic gases, which can manifest on the skin. Infections that spread from within can progress rapidly. Once the surface layer is compromised, similar to other illnesses, pathogens can take advantage and cause infections with different types of bacteria.
-
Our approach to treatment focuses on unblocking meridians and promoting healthy lung meridians. When meridians are clear, they act as a strong defense against bacteria, creating a firewall on the skin that prevents deep infections. This method enhances the immune system's capabilities, establishing a protective barrier. Our holistic therapy differs from mainstream medicine, as it addresses not just the symptoms but also adjusts the entire body's meridians at different depths (from the skin to the bones), treating the root cause and not just surface-level issues. Balancing meridians involves harmonizing the relationship between meridians and the endocrine system, enhancing resistance and defense mechanisms. This method stems from thousands of years of traditional Chinese medicine wisdom, refined over time. Whether dealing with acute or chronic skin conditions, we can achieve significant adjustments within a short period.
Muscular & Sport Injury.
muscle strains can cause inconvenience and pain, and this pain can radiate. For instance, a strain in the deltoid muscle of the shoulder can affect the entire arm and upper body since nerves are interconnected. The most significant consequence of muscle strains is that the damaged muscle fibers cannot regenerate. Muscles consist of long fibers, and the number of muscle fibers a person grows in their lifetime is fixed. After muscle fiber loss, they won't regenerate, leading to permanent defects in some muscles.
-
Muscle strains are often caused by the detachment of muscle fascia.

After muscle fiber loss, they won't regenerate, leading to permanent defects in some muscles.
-
Early treatment involves repositioning the muscle through external manipulation before muscle necrosis occurs. It's important not to endure muscle strains and seek medical attention promptly. Early intervention includes promoting blood circulation and resolving stasis, smoothing the fascia, and clearing the surrounding meridians, blood vessels, nerves, and ligaments to prevent severe, irreversible issues.
Infertility.
Infertility is a common issue today caused by factors like environmental pollution, genetic inheritance, irregular lifestyles, and prolonged contraceptive pill use, which can lead to an inability of the uterus to conceive. The healthy uterine lining is like fertile soil that can nurture life. However, if the uterus lacks Qi and blood, causing uterine cold, it can sustain significant damage, leading to uterine fibroids with severe cold condensation. The uterine lining, uterine membrane, and fallopian tubes become stiff due to cold invasion, impeding Qi and blood circulation. Immature egg production can also result.

-
Some initially healthy uteruses might lose function due to prolonged contraceptive pill use, particularly prevalent in Western societies along with inadequate nutrition.
A diminished uterine function makes it susceptible to absorbing energy invasions like cold and dampness. All diseases originate from cold, weakening the body's defense mechanisms and allowing cold to enter. This forms a vicious cycle, leading to insufficient Qi and blood in the uterus, causing atrophy. Therefore, menopause in women begins with the onset of atrophy in the uterus. With ample Qi and blood, proper uterine protection can maintain a woman's youthfulness.
-
Women rely on blood, while men rely on essence. Women require nourishing and replenishing blood, an ancient wisdom passed down over thousands of years, necessitating long-term care. This involves using herbal medicine to supplement essential trace elements and techniques such as warming the uterus, moxibustion, promoting meridian flow, and resolving stasis. These practices allow natural energy to enter the body through meridian channels, promoting healing. Because our meridians are interconnected with nature, they facilitate communication between the body and the natural world.
