Depression

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is used extensively to treat depression, fatigue, and anxiety. By correcting energy blockages, acupuncture may activate natural painkillers in the brain and body. Numerous studies show that acupuncture is just as effective in reducing symptoms of depression as antidepressant medications but without common side effects. By using Chinese herbs, with or without regular acupuncture, improvements can be seen within one month. An extended treatment (2-3 months) can further improve the conditions and relieve suffering.

Sleep Disorder

TCM considers insomnia a symptom, not a disease. Sleep disorders are mainly caused by prolonged emotional stress, improper diet, lack of, or excessive sexual activity, or a weak constitution following an extended illness. It can be described as the difficulty or inability to fall asleep during the night, restless and shallow sleep, waking in the early hours of the morning with the inability to fall back asleep, and dream-disturbed sleep.

Acupuncture promotes relaxation and natural sleeping patterns without the hangover effect that comes with most sleeping pills. It is recommended for those who have problems with sleep to try acupuncture before taking heavy duty medications.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

IBS is a collection of symptoms commonly including chronic abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, and altered bowel habits. It is a functional disorder of the intestines which occurs in the absence of visible structural abnormality.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine benefits for IBS:

• Pain relief

• Motility of the digestive tract

• Increased sensory threshold of the gut

• Increased parasympathetic functions

Hypertension

In the US alone, about 1/3 of all people over the age of 20 years have hypertension. Mild to moderate hypertension may have no obvious symptoms, but symptoms of more accelerated hypertension include headaches, drowsiness, confusion, vision disturbances, nausea, and vomiting.

90% of patients’ blood pressure is reduced right away after acupuncture, but may still need continuous acupuncture and herbs to maintain.

Atherosclerosis and Hyperlipidemia

Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside the arteries. Managing hyperlipidemia means controlling cholesterol and triglycerides. Our patented herb, Vessel Clean, is for patients suffering from high cholesterol and may be experiencing side effects from other medications.

Dr. Liu’s patented herb increases healthy cholesterol. We are very proud to say that this patent is the first herb formula specifically formulated for atherosclerosis and hyperlipidemia treatment in the world.

After using Vessel Cleaner for 1 to 2 months, good cholesterol will increase and bad cholesterol will decrease.  It will prevent atherogenic formation and reduce atherogenic plaques.
