Healthy Aging with Acupuncture

How acupuncture can help you age gracefully

Acupuncture can help replenish energy to the body as well as free up energy that is blocked or trapped in the body due to physical and emotional stress. Often, we consume our energy faster than we should because we do not have the knowledge to protect our energies through a healthy lifestyle as detailed in Chinese medicine classics.

Acupuncture, combined with Chinese herbal remedies and Qi Gong practice, can help replenish the loss of Qi and essence and slow down the aging process. It can help replenish energy to the body, as well as free up blocked or trapped energy due to long lasting effects of physical and emotional stress.

“Now in my mid-fifties, I came to the Tao Clinic of Acupuncture because I wanted to do something more for my health and well-being than just my regular gym workouts and annual physical, and I had heard wonderful things about Dr. Yang. I had recently finished an exciting but stressful four-year film project, and Dr. Yang first suggested that we focus on reducing my anxiety and stress level; following his proposal of dietary changes and supplements, I felt much calmer. I also started a series of acupuncture treatments that immediately alleviate a sinus problem, and gave me more energy. And I discovered an unexpected “bonus” when friends began telling me my skin was glowing and I looked younger. I’m so pleased with how the acupuncture treatments with Dr. Yang and Jaesun Yoo have improved my facial skin tone that I’ve discontinued my usual quarterly visits to the dermatologist for botox and fillers. It has been a wonderful, mind-opening experience and an important step towards healthy aging.”
