As an acupuncturist...

I am an acupuncturist and herbalist at Greenleaf Acupuncture and Herb Clinic. I see patients everyday and talk a lot with them. while I explaining basic acupuncture theory, I often feel difficulty and lack of time. I always blame my English level, but I know it' not a good way to solve problems.

Actually my first major is journalism. I practice a lot about writing in Korean and also have confidence of it. Unfortunatley it doesn't help my English speaking patients. However I realized my English writing is little better than my speaking. That's the reason I make up mind starting blog.Throughout the blog, I want to explain more deeply and accurately.

I know people has lots of questions about Traditional Eastern medicine. Becaucse of westernization, even Asians don't know how acupuncture works and basic background of acupuncture. Acupuncture is completely based on Eastern philosophy. I also want to share those things.

Sharing testimonial and case study is also my magor goal of the blog. I am also teaching acupuncture and herb medicine at Golden mountain college. The more cases students see, they become better acupuncturist. Hopefully, they also get some advices from this blog.

Communicating is my first priority when I see patients. Sometimes I also failed to treat patients.
However I always try to listen every words patients say. Minor symptoms could be a big clue for diagnosis. Most of all, sharing the patients feeling is the first step of treatment. I am listening and I will listen.
