Scalp acupuncture is one approach we often use to support ADHD.

Unlike traditional body acupuncture, scalp acupuncture works directly with areas connected to brain function. Research shows it may help promote alpha brain waves, which are associated with focus, calmness, and mental clarity.

By regulating the nervous system, acupuncture can help support the body’s natural production of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins.

This is why many patients notice improvements in:

• Focus and attention
• Emotional regulation
• Sleep quality
• Mental calm

Healing ADHD isn’t about forcing the brain to behave.

It’s about helping the brain relearn balance and rhythm.

Not just tired — out of rhythm.

If you notice this pattern:

• Waking up in the middle of the night
• Brain fog in the morning
• Midday fatigue
• A second wind late at night

Your cortisol rhythm may be disrupted.

In functional medicine this is often called adrenal fatigue.
In Chinese medicine, it reflects Kidney deficiency with a hyperactive stress response.

The body feels wired when it should rest, and exhausted when it should have energy.

Healing begins with restoring the rhythm.

Spring belongs to the Liver in TCM — the organ that keeps Qi moving.

When Liver Qi flows, we feel energized and clear.

When it stagnates, we feel irritable, bloated, or sluggish.

Spring detox isn’t extreme.
It’s gentle alignment.

Support your Liver with:

• Leafy greens and spring vegetables
• Citrus and cruciferous foods
• Dandelion or ginger-lemon tea
• Stretching, Tai Chi, or simple walks
• Earlier mornings and lighter meals

Spring is about flow — not force.

Nourish. Move. Reset gently.

Your gut is the foundation.

In modern life, we eat stressed.
When we’re nervous, digestion slows. Food sits longer. Fermentation increases. Dysbiosis begins.

This is why I often recommend two basics:

• Digestive enzymes — to support proper breakdown
• Probiotics — to support healthy gut balance

But supplements are not random tools.

Before grabbing something off the shelf, ask:
Do I actually know what my body needs?

Work with a practitioner. Understand your pattern. Support the root — not just the symptom.

Can Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture really help ADHD?

In this video, we explore how TCM approaches ADHD in both children and adults — and why the treatment strategy is very different for each group.

While ADHD is often linked to dopamine dysregulation in Western medicine, TCM looks at deeper constitutional patterns and energetic imbalances.

In this video, we’ll discuss:
• The clinical differences between childhood and adult ADHD
• Why children’s ADHD often stems from Kidney essence and foundational deficiencies
• Why adult ADHD tends to present with more internal overwhelm, fatigue, brain fog, and layered stagnation
• How patterns like Qi stagnation, phlegm obstruction, blood stasis, and heat toxin play a role
• Why scalp acupuncture is one of my preferred methods — and how research supports its ability to promote calming alpha brain waves and dopamine regulation

You’ll learn how acupuncture can gently retrain the brain and nervous system — whether for a restless child or an overwhelmed adult.

If you’re interested in integrative, root-cause approaches to ADHD, this video will help you understand how TCM can support focus, mood, sleep, and overall regulation.

Sometimes the symptom goes away…
but the body pays the price.

When we eliminate a symptom without protecting Qi or gut function, we may create a second problem.

Some medications are very effective — especially those that suppress the immune system. But suppression is not the same as regulation.

In clinic, I often see:

• Disrupted gut function
• Increased inflammation elsewhere
• New symptoms replacing old ones

Relief matters. But so does protecting the foundation.

The question isn’t “Does it work?”
The question is “What is it costing the body long term?”

Stress headaches are not random.

In TCM, pain means stagnation.
No blockage → no pain.

Tension headaches often come from Qi stagnation along the Gallbladder, Stomach, and Bladder channels — which run through the head and neck.

Stress blocks the flow.
Blocked flow creates pain.

The goal isn’t just to suppress it.
It’s to move it.

Winter is a season to conserve, not push.

In TCM, winter connects to the Kidneys — our deepest energy reserves. This is when Qi and Jing are either protected… or depleted.

Support Kidney Qi by:
• Eating warm, slow-cooked meals
• Choosing soups, stews, and root vegetables
• Adding warming spices like ginger and cinnamon
• Drinking warm water or herbal teas

Cold and raw foods require more energy to digest. Warm foods preserve it.

And just as important:
• Sleep earlier
• Move gently
• Slow down intentionally

Winter wellness is about rebuilding Yin and protecting your foundation — so you’re stronger in spring.

Brain fog during menopause isn’t “just aging.”

In functional medicine, hormones work like an orchestra. When one section is off, the whole symphony feels out of tune.

Estrogen, progesterone, cortisol — they all communicate closely with the nervous system. So when hormones fluctuate during perimenopause and menopause, the brain feels it.

Mood swings.
Irritability.
Forgetfulness.
Difficulty focusing.

It’s not weakness. It’s neuro-hormonal imbalance.

When we support hormone rhythm, stress regulation, sleep, and blood sugar, clarity begins to return.

Balance the orchestra — don’t blame the musician.

Can Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) really help with ADHD? The answer is yes — but the approach looks very different for children and adults.

In this video, we’ll explore:
• Why lifestyle modification is the first step for children with ADHD
• How structured rhythm (meals, activity, bedtime) supports dopamine regulation
• The role of whole-food nutrition and omega-3 support
• When and how TCM herbal formulas can help with sleep, mood, and focus
• Why acupuncture is often a powerful starting point for adults
• How TCM addresses external patterns first before correcting deeper deficiencies
• The realistic timeline for improvement (1–3 months)
• How to safely and gradually work with your doctor if reducing medication (never abruptly)

Chinese medicine does not replace medication — it works from a different direction. Acupuncture and herbs help retrain the brain, gut, and nervous system to work together more efficiently, similar to training a muscle over time.

ADHD has no quick fix. But with the right structure and integrative support, meaningful progress is possible.

During menopause, Kidney Qi and Yin naturally decline — but that doesn’t mean you can’t replenish them.

Start with nourishment:
Black sesame
Black beans
Purple sweet potato
Root vegetables

Then reduce stress. In TCM, stress blocks Liver Qi — and that’s when brain fog and mood swings show up.

The antidote?
Movement. Walking. Stretching. Gentle flow. Even earthing.

Rebuild your foundation with food + flow.

In TCM, the Spleen & Stomach Qi are the foundation of a child’s health.

Think of it as soil in a garden. If the soil is rich, everything grows well. If it’s weak, growth struggles.

Too much sugar and processed food create dampness, which weakens digestion and drains that foundation.

It’s not about zero sweets. It’s about protecting the soil so your child can truly thrive.

About me

When I was growing up, my mom always told me,"you need to know how to take care of yourself. We, women, are the foundation of our community and family." She was the type doesn't like to take medication. She told me nature has the best medicine and the kitchen is your best medicine cabinet. My grandmother was also an amazing woman. She was my teacher of herbal medicine. I was taught to use herbs from her small garden to take care of my mouth sore, colds, and tummy aches. That little seed of healing with natural herbs was planted since very early in my life. As I grew up, I was set to be a doctor by my parent's request. But I was drawn deeply to the amazing aroma of the herbs and decided to study Chinese medicine. When I started my medical training in Taiwan and Chinese, I was guided by a lot of amazing Chinese Medicine masters that showed me how to follow the natural rhythm to treat illness and live a healthy life. Their principle of following the nature of balance influenced my philosophy of life. Now I want to bring this practice to my patients and help my patients to live healthy, balanced, and focus on the whole person.
