    What is Traditional Asian Medicine?

     Qi: the root of life in acupuncture theory Traditional Asian health, whose philosophical foundations reach back over five-thousand years, encompasses a wide variety of holistic modalities that seek to maintain health through careful balance. These mediums include not only the more widely-known arts of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and martial arts practice; but also lesser-known but equally effective approaches such as cupping, moxabustion, tui-na massage, gua-sha, bone setting, soft-tissue manipulation, and many others.

    Acupuncture and other Asian healing modalities can treat a wide variety of health concerns including but not limited to: stress, depression, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, sports injuries, menstrual pain and irregularity, peri-menopause, substance addiction, headache, compulsive behavior, digestive problems, constipation, the common cold, and more.

    Our practice in Richmond, Virginia, includes acupuncture, herbal medicine, and martial arts and Qigong training.

    Our Logo

    This symbol uses the chinese character for health,surrounded by a plum blossom John Kang's personal logo is the Chinese character kang for "health" encircled by a plum blossom. Coincidentally, the character is the same as John's family name. The plum blossom is related to the Chinese people, while the fruit it produces is considered a harbinger of spring-- to the Asian mind, a rebirth, and therefore related to good health.
