Traditional Chinese Medicine. After she came to the United
States, she received her Master of Science degree in Oriental
Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder, Colorado. Her

acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, western pathology and
pharmacology, oriental physical therapy and nutrition, and clinical
internships. Her background enables her to tailor Chinese medical
wisdom to the needs of American patients.
"As an acupuncturist, my goal is to help as many people
as possible by providing affordable, effective treatment, as well as to
educate the general public on the benefit of Chinese medicine. The idea
of prevention of disease and early treatment to prevent
deterioration is the basic treatment principle in Chinese medicine. In
other words,
diseases should be prevented before they occur or try best to shorten
the course of diseased if we get sickness. This is in stark contrast to
the western medicine system, which treat ailments after they occur or
wait some systems go worse then to attempt to treat.
It is my vision
to help patients be aware of their own health condition, to get
health problems treated at the beginning in a natural way, and to
prevent disease by changing diet and life style, rather than let
unsolved problems accumulate and then run for heavy pills."
