Over the years of practicing acupuncture and helping my patients heal from debilitating nerve pain, joint pain, headaches and gastrointestinal disorders, I have seen countless cases of well-intentioned health practices gone terribly wrong.
For instance, most vegetarians living in the Bay Area would likely consider their diet to be healthy for their bodies. But many have ended up in my office with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and arthritis. Symptoms are typically worst for those those who have lived a vegetarian lifestyle for decades and come to see me in their fifties and sixties.
Understanding individual differences in the functioning of internal organs shines a bright light. Some of us have livers that can process larger amounts of fat while others do not and must take care not to overtax the liver. Some of us were born with larger lungs that are great for becoming a marathon runner or singer, but these folks should also know how to best care of their lungs since they are actually more susceptible to lung related illnesses such as asthma.
By providing solutions through individual body constitution analysis, I am able to deliver highly customized acupuncture formulas suited for the diverse functions of internal organs that differ on vital constitutional levels.
