Happy spring to you all! I hope you were able to spend the holidays in person with family and friends, and that you've been able to enjoy the beautiful days we've been graced with over the past few weeks.

Celebrating Success

Nothing makes me happier than to see my patients succeed in their goals, whether it be recovering from a health issue, getting pregnant, overcoming depression and anxiety, or making a much needed life change.   It's incredibly gratifying when I work with a patient to lay out a treatment strategy, and the patient meets me halfway by doing their "homework," which is generally a combination [...]

Treating Auto-Immune Disorders with Chinese Medicine

If you’re one of millions of people who suffer from an auto-immune disorder and have struggled to find relief, don’t despair.   Under normal conditions, our immune system serves to protect us against disease.

Healing Irritable Bowel (IBS) with Acupuncture

Hippocrates said that all disease begins in the gut, and we practitioners of Chinese medicine think he was definitely right. Digestive disorders such as IBS are some of the most common health problems, and among the things acupuncture treats best.   There are many different reasons why our digestive systems might break down or fail to work properly: Chronic stress can affect digestion by stimulating the sympathetic [...]

Reflecting on the New Year

I'm a big believer in New Year's resolutions. I like to reflect on the closing year - to celebrate the successes, and better understand the things that didn't go as well as I had hoped. What do I want to achieve in the coming year, and what can I do differently to make those dreams a reality?   How often do we notice that when [...]

The Energy of Autumn

As the long, hot, damp days of summer come to a close, we can see the shifting of light in the sky and the newly-crisp winds stirring the season’s first fallen leaves. As we move from a more yang time of year - characterized by many hours of bright sunlight and increased physical activity - to that which is more yin in nature, our energy [...]

Nature’s Medicine Cabinet

As the warmer weather draws us outdoors, we can’t help but notice the vast array of colors, textures, fragrances and forms of the summer garden. But much more than just providing beauty and pleasure for our senses, these wonders of nature also have powerful medicinal properties, some of which have been used for healing for thousands of years.   The Chinese Materia Medica (compendium of [...]

Balancing Ease and Effort

If you're like most people these days, you lead a full and hectic life. And if you're like many others, you feel completely overwhelmed and don't allow yourself enough down-time to balance the continual activity. If we look closely, we might find underneath this behavior lies the belief that it’s all somehow temporary; that if we work hard enough now, we’ll eventually reach a plateau [...]

Treating Lyme with Chinese Medicine

At last, winter is over! Time to dust off the hiking shoes and get outside! But before we embark upon our outdoor activities, we should exercise caution. Maryland has one of the highest rates of Lyme disease in the country. And spring can be a particularly dangerous time for insect-born illnesses such as Lyme, as ticks become active when the temperatures rise above 45 degrees [...]
