First, we have a specific technique designed to relieve your stress, help you safely shed unwanted pounds, improve your physique, enhance metabolism, and excrete unnecessary moisture from the body.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), most overweight is related to unbalanced metabolism, caused by malfunctioning of the spleen and liver systems.

In five element theory in TCM, the spleen is for the proper functioning of the digestive system, deficiency of the spleen Qi will have symptoms such as fatigue, slow metabolism, water retention, loose stool and feeling of heaviness. Many people with fat on belly are all for this reason. Use acupuncture or moxibustion to stimulate the acupoints along the stomach meridian and spleen meridian, to improve the function of spleen and stomach and to promote metabolism and reduce abdominal fat.

The liver’s job is to keep the flow of organ’s Qi and blood running smoothly. Stagnation of the liver Qi will have emotion problems, make the function of the whole digestive system poorly and can be some of the triggers to lead to cravings and overeating. By stimulating the acupoints of the liver meridian, make the flow of qi and blood smoothly, and the effect of detoxification and detoxification is achieved.

Ear acupoints are specific points of diagnosis and treatment on the external ear, and corresponding to the internal organs of the human body. We can also use ear acupressure to maintain the stimulation of the therapeutic effects between your visits.

And finally, our customized herb formulas enhance your organ functions and improve overall health, helping you look and feel your best.

Traditional Acupuncture in Durham, NC

Bull City Psychotherapy and Wellness welcomes Dr. Geng Wu, Doctor of Chinese Medicine to their Durham, NC office location in Croasdaile Office Park. Dr. Wu also uses traditional Chinese herbs to help people stay healthy and/or feel less symptoms of pain.

 

Below is a message from Dr. Wu about what Chinese Medicine is:

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a practical medicine, that has been extracted from millions of experiences cultivated throughout some thousands of years of Chinese history. Only the practices that have been proven effective have been collected and organized.

Chinese thinking regards nature as the standard for judgment. Traditional Chinese Medicine  naturally has the same principle in its judgment and practice. Treatment methods such as herbs, acupuncture, and physical therapy, are prescribed to maintain the body’s state of health and increase its self-healing ability rather than treating diseases after they have already occurred. This kind of treatment is particularly effective in cases of chronic diseases. The purpose of TCM is to be preventive and continue optimal health, rather than letting people get sick and then treating symptoms.

Even if tests to determine diagnoses show negative results, according to TCM, having subjective symptoms and recognizable changes, in many cases, are signs of early stages of diseases. If no treatments are given until a patient’s test date arises, the disease will have progressed in the interim. In other words, TCM targets diseases in early stages to prevent chronic symptoms. Thus, as a Doctor of Chinese Medicine, my biggest concern is the prevention of patient suffering.
