Caring For Your Health

I base my success on my patients' long-term good health. I provide full-service therapies using traditional Oriental Medicine techniques that include acupuncture, cupping, and herbal treatments. I work with my patients to maintain and improve their health.

I will work to serve you and your entire family for all of your medical needs in all stages of life. I educate my patients to achieve the best physical state possible. Your treatments are specific to you and acupuncture is used to treat many conditions including pain, sports injuries, allergies, depression, weight issues, and more.

Oriental Medicine Education

I am an Oriental Medical Dr. (MD degree in Korea). I am a Licensed Acupuncturist in Arizona, previously licensed in California. I studied Oriental Medicine for 8 years in Korea, graduating from Dongguk University at Seoul Read More with a Masters in Oriental Medicine.

I practiced in Seoul and Busan for 20 years before immigrating to the USA in 2013. I specialized in Gynecology in my education, but I commonly treat for a wide range of issues including pain from injury or age, to cosmetic aesthetics. A surprising number of conditions may be treated since a basic concept of acupuncture is to stimulate various meridians (pathways) which are body-wide and inter-connected.

Ongoing

To meet State continuing education requirements for annual license renewal, I attend conferences with national experts in multiple disciplines of acupuncture.

Korean and Chinese traditional medicine originated in ancient and prehistoric times and can be traced back to the same roots as far as 3000 B.C. The practice is a range of techniques and diagnosis based on Asian philosophy, which itself was deeply grounded on observation and study of natural phenomena.

What is acupuncture? The Mayo Clinic defines it as "a technique for balancing the flow of energy or life force - known as Qi, believed to flow through the pathways (meridians or channels) in your body. By inserting very thin needles into specific points along these meridians, acupuncture practitioners believe your energy flow will rebalance." The stimulation appears to increase blood flow, boosts the activity of your body's natural painkillers and stimulates natural healing mechanisms.

How are Herbs used? Herbalism is the study and practice of using plant material for the purpose of food, medicine, or health. Herbs are known to contain elements that have various medicinal effects. For example, clinical, animal, and cellular research has shown mushrooms may be able to up-regulate aspects of the immune system. A notable mushroom used in Korean medicine is Phellinus linteus also known as Song-gen. Herbs may be flowers, plants, shrubs, trees, moss, lichen, fern, algae, seaweed or fungus. Herbal medicines may be fresh, dried, whole, or chopped. Herbs can be prepared as infusions when an herb is soaked in a liquid, or decocted which is when an herb is simmered in water over low heat for a certain period of time. Herbs are commonly taken orally or applied with creams, oils, and added in baths.
