Most people don’t realize that Chinese herbal medicine is its own medical modality separate from acupuncture therapy.  The two modalities work best together when they are both prescribed appropriately.   Oftentimes, people don’t realize that many of their health concerns can easily be treated by Chinese herbal formulas effectively and rather quickly without all of the side effects that regular western prescriptions can cause.  One thing to clearly understand is that Chinese medicine is NATURAL medicine.  Some chronic and severe cases can take 3-6 months to START to see changes.  Of course, it would be great to see changes within 2-4 weeks, but there are some stubborn health issues that can require months to treat due to a patient’s life patterns (eating, sleeping, work-related stress, family-related stress, emotional issues, etc.) and it’s critical to understand that if a person decides to implement any modality of natural medicine into her life that a very difficult health issue to cure or provide relief from can require months of consistent and aggressive therapy.

Some of my current cases include issues regarding: fertility, auto-immune conditions, digestion, hypertension, cholesterol, diabetes, weight loss, craving sweets, eating disorders, post-stroke, pre/post-surgery, preventing surgery, musculo-skeletal pain (of which I am a master at treating to the point of GRADUATING my patients from pain when they actually follow my recommended protocol), headaches/migraines, as well as hormonal issues.  My patients range from those who come in randomly  to patients who come in almost daily until their health issues disappear 100%.  I have an open door policy when it comes to treatment strategies with either acupuncture and/or Chinese herbal medicine.  I take my work seriously, so I ask that only serious patients come in for therapy.  Whether you come in once or continuously, please keep an open mind and have confidence that while you are under my care I will implement the best that Chinese medicine has to offer as this knowledge has and continues to be passed onto me by the best teachers in the world.  I commit my time, money and energy with my teachers, especially Dr. Richard Teh Fu Tan, in order to provide our community the practice of Chinese medicine as it was meant to be practiced. If you’ve heard the phrase, “Practice makes perfect.”  That’s not true because someone could be practicing the wrong thing over and over.  It really should be stated as, “Perfect practice makes perfect.”  I strive to practice Chinese medicine perfectly.  When you or your friends shop around for a committed licensed acupuncturist/Chinese herbalist, take a good look first at their track record and how almost obsessed they are with the perfect practice of Chinese medicine.  When practicing Chinese medicine, EXPERIENCE in getting the work done right means everything.

Please take the time to read through some of our updated testimonials, Yelp reviews, blog and YouTube videos.  I aim to publish more videos soon, some of which will include: sweet cravings, urinary tract infection, vaginitis and migraines.  If there is a topic that you would like for me to make, please let me know!

I appreciate each of you for taking the time to read this email.  There are a lot of herbal formulas in my healing center at the moment that I know can benefit many of you in our community.  I am sorry that I the list of formulas are not listed in this email due to time constraints, but please feel free to call me at 949.305.1703 or text me at 619.341.4341 or you can just reply if you would like to inquire as to what is in stock.  Again, the specials are only for current patients this week and only for the ones IN STOCK.

May all of you have a happy, loving, healthy, purposeful and prosperous week!

Here are a few of our recent testimonials.

Please keep them coming,

so that people in our community can know about the

POWERS OF CHINESE MEDICINE!

I thought I would share this and maybe I am unique in my situation or not?  Please share with others as appropriate.

I worked with Anna for the past several years on various health issues and usually during the treatment I “feel” nothing.  I hear Anna tell people about the symptoms they might experience while laying on tables, but me, well I just fall asleep.   Perhaps you are like me; you come in, tell Anna your health issues, get stuck with some needles and lay there.  The most interesting thing that happens is I get cold and well I just chalk that up to I get cold easily and don’t think twice about it.  I find acupuncture simple to do and while I “feel” nothing during the treatment yet I am a lot healthier then every before in my life.

I hear others talking about how their bodies react to acupuncture, how sometimes their face itches or they get really hot during the treatment; how electricity seems to shoot down a leg and other similar things.  Me, I just take a nap and wake up feeling better then when I went to sleep.

I am sharing this because I am a lot healthier.  I graduated from back pain, strengthened my immune system, reduced my stress levels (while keeping the same crazy lifestyle) and lost weight.  I did all of this while sleeping on a treatment table “feeling” nothing.  Perhaps you are like me and feel nothing while on the treatment table;  it is OK.   We are special and unique and just because we don’t feel anything doesn’t mean it is not working.

Over the course of time I got healthy and so will you.  Christ, my Lord and Savior, gave me an amazing doctor in Anna.  God gave Anna an amazing gift to help heal our bodies with a bunch of tiny needles.  Take this time and opportunity to get healthy.

….Feels nothing but is a whole lot healthier every day!

I am committed to providing the most EFFECTIVE, RELAXING & AFFORDABLE

acupuncture experience in ALL of Southern California.

Everyone experiences addiction in one way or another in a lifetime.  Mine started early in life and ended after a series of acupuncture treatments.  Simply stated I craved sugar, all types of sugar and food with a high sugar content tasted the best.  Chocolate and peanut butter, cookie and candy tasted great and I craved these foods daily.   I remember the conversation I had with you about my addictions and you said there was a treatment for addiction.  Since acupuncture had fixed another health issue I decided to give it a try.  The first few times not much seemed to change but then over the course of several weeks I noticed my cravings for sugar were decreasing.  I tried to go “cold turkey” only to binge on sugar a few days later and had to see you several times because my stomach was very upset from eating the junk food.  Amazing to me still is how a few needles relieved the pain from my indulgences.  You got me back on track and over the course of a few months I gave up sugar almost totally.  I stopped eating any form of candy, cake, cookies, and items with a high sugar content that is not natural.  As I got off the addiction cycle, fruit started tasting sweet and other foods of all types started having flavors I had never noticed before.  You gave me a very specific treatment over the course of a lot of treatments; it was several months and I will leave it at that.  If someone wants to know what the treatment was truly intended for that you used on me; then they can ask you.

For those who are struggling with food addictions, I understand and sympathize.  This is a tough battle, but one you do not have to face alone.  Family and friends are important in supporting your decision to fight food addictions.   Work with an acupuncturist who understands addictions and can help you through the withdrawal and the cravings.  Understand you can accomplish this fight but it will take time.

Don’t focus on what you are giving up but focus on the fact you are getting healthy.  In the race of life; it is a marathon not a sprint you are traveling and each day is one step closer to your goal.

Every woman’s journey in becoming a mother is a individual and personal experience – mine was challenging.  But through the help of Anna my pregnancy became tolerable and then finally enjoyable. Anna helped me with the undisclosed or non-discussed parts of pregnancy that women don’t talk about – and endure with shame or angst.

Anna understood the discomforts associated with pregnancy – the lack of sleep, backaches, pelvic pain, nausea, balance issues, exhaustion and so much more.

I remember that with one treatment she had my hemorrhoids under control – my OB was impressed! And in another treatment she stopped my leg cramps – my husband was impressed! Especially because I would wake him up in the middle of the night in pain trying to get out of bed.

Through the later part of my pregnancy she prepared my body and mind for preparation of a c-section – while not the most widely accepted form of giving birth this was the safest for the baby and me.
My c-section experience was amazing -
I was discharged a day early
I was on not pain medication from 1 day after surgery
My recovery was quick and uncomplicated
My scar healed like a scratch – Amazing!

I attribute all of this to the work Anna did on preparing me. Her ability to offer my body comfort and healing through acupuncture allowed me to enjoy the very early moments of my daughter life – one I would not have if I was on pain medications or worse… I got to bond with my daughter and I am grateful for the preparedness that Anna provided to me.
