The Panacean Fruits of an Ancient Family Tree Five millennia of expansion has made traditional Chinese medicine a remarkable field of medicine. As they pursued their study of nature and of life, physicians entrusted their discoveries and wisdom to each following generation, steadily amassing the vast body of knowledge that constitutes the contemporary practice of Chinese medicine. Descendant from seven generations of Chinese physicians, Wei Li possesses a comprehensive expertise refined and perfected by her forefathers over hundreds of years. Perpetuating the Traditions of Chinese Medicine Understanding the Nature of Illness: Roots & Branches In the theory of Chinese medicine, good health arises from the balanced coexistence of every element in the body, and illnesses manifest from imbalances. Hence, we bear in mind the body’s condition as a whole to diagnose and treat the root of an illness as well as its branches, i.e. its symptoms. Merely treating the branches of an illness without taking into consideration the root of the illness fails to prevent symptoms from recurring. On the other hand, dispelling the root of the illness significantly deceases the likelihood of having recurring symptoms. Medicine from Mother Nature, not from Man's Ingenuity Following in the tradition of Chinese medicine, we prescribe for our patients all-natural herbal medicines free of artificial ingredients or alterations, and our herbal formulas are custom-prescribed to suit your individual requirements. Our combined therapy of acupuncture and herbal medicine treats the illness itself while strengthening your whole body at the same time. Our goal is to give your body the vitality to preserve its own health rather than rely on long-term medications or treatments.

Confucianism held sway over every aspect of eastern society, from everyday customs to the social hierarchy of China.
