Did you know that treating Internal Diseases is an important part of traditional Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine?  Based on the meridians theory (which has been comprehensively studied and applied in China for thousands of years), the 12 major channels and 8 extra meridians, plus other divergents and collaterals, are distributed systematically in definite routes throughout the human body.  Not only do they run on exterior tissues such as muscles, tendons, and bone joints, but also they link into interior organs such as liver, heart, spleen, lungs, kidneys, stomach, and intestines, etc.  This forms the basis for medical practice: acupuncture manipulated on the body surface, at selected points of selected channels for each medical case, can treat not only pains of connected external tissues, but also diseases of connected internal organs in a naturally holistic way by rebalancing the disharmony in an organic system.

 

The same meridians theory is applied to herbal medicine as well.  Each herb is described in a great succession of pharmacopoeias for its property, taste, function, and the definite meridian pathways it enters in the human body.  Only by working its function through the pertaining meridians can one herb perform the remedy for disorders of the connected exterior tissues or interior organs of the human body.  When a physician is equipped with all the knowledge, herbs are seldom used singly and are usually combined into a formula of 5 to 15 ingredients to work in good blend, and a formula combined with other formulas to produce a synergistic effect for more complete therapy in complicated cases.

Teng, licensed acupuncturist and Ph.D. in biochemistry, has practiced with thorough understanding of hundreds of herbal formulas and has mastered the special technique of “Chang-Sha Needle” in performing acupuncture.  He has furnished his clinic with a convergence of classical healing arts and modern knowledge of medicine.  His unique approach has promoted fast pain reduction for many patients and has guided them back to a physically and mentally balanced state.
