“Sickness is a loss of balance in the person’s
energy system… Bringing balance to the patient just means
restoring this natural flow of life energy. When we locate and
open up a blocked area, we are to obtain very good results, even
in serious cases.”

CENTER SERVICES
 Acupuncture Therapy
Is an unsurpassed therapy for chronic and acute illnesses. Stress relief
is automatic and weight loss is a frequent “side effect”
of health restoration through acupuncture. Our popular signature treatment
is Tiny Needle Therapy, which is very effective for all types of pain
problems. Those with allergies and sinus issues also respond quite well
to acupuncture treatment.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
More and more people are discovering how safe and effective traditional
Chinese herbal formulas are for practically any disorder. When chosen
correctly by a trained professional, Chinese Medicines protect and balance
your body, while obeying the maxim: Do no harm.
Qigong and Tai Chi (China’s
Traditional Healing Exercises)
Nearly everyone can learn the ancient, self-healing and self-balancing
exercises from China. Until you experience qi (chi) exercise, you cannot
fathom the power and the pleasure of peaceful movement for body, mind,
and spirit. The healing power, mind/body unification and age-defying
effects from qigong (or chi kung) and tai chi practice have been clinically
validated.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe in the power of self-healing and preventing
disease by treating the problem early (before a hill becomes a mountain).
We strongly support client self-empowerment through education and action.

Beijing. He has taught both qigong and tai chi to thousands in the Washington
DC and Montgomery County area.
“The art of Chinese Medicine is its ability to discern the
cause of disease. But you cannot just tend to a person’s symptoms.
Symptoms are neither individual nor isolated. They came from a root
and developed like branches of a tree.“ --Nianzu
