Acu Shoulder Self-Treatment

Taking care of some muscular dysfunction in my right shoulder girdle. Used the following acupuncture points unilaterally on the affected side: LU-1, GB-21, LI-15, and SJ-14.

Growing up with the Pioneer

When I was younger, growing up in a Taiwanese Church in Flushing, I always saw this individual as a content grandpa figure. He knew our family well and now, a couple decades later, I get to know a little more on how God has brought him through life and just found it encouraging. David Hung first studied theology before pursuing his Eastern Medicine studies. He was the first licensed acupuncturist in the U.S. and has done a great work in the field. Definitely a person I look to as an example.

Acupuncture for eczema

Acupuncture treatment for eczema on my right middle finger. After retaining the needles for about 20 minutes, the swelling and sensitivity dissipated for the most part; only about 10% of the fluid might have still been present.
