Integrating Ancient Wisdom with Modern Nutritional Science

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), health is achieved by balancing the energetic qualities of yin and yang within the body. Yin represents coolness, dampness, and darkness, while yang represents warmth, dryness, and light. Imbalances in these qualities can manifest as specific health conditions, such as:

  • Cold: Feeling chilled, preference for warmth, pale complexion, slow metabolism
  • Dampness: Dislike of humidity, mental fogginess, abdominal bloating, fluid retention
  • Heat: Feeling warm, irritability, dark urine, thirst, disturbed sleep
  • Dryness: Dry skin, constipation, night sweats, easily stressed

To restore balance, TCM emphasizes the importance of choosing foods with the appropriate energetic properties. For example:

  • Cold conditions benefit from warming foods like lamb, beef, dark poultry, root vegetables, and spices such as cinnamon and ginger.
  • Dampness is alleviated by lightly cooked greens, fish, grilled meats, sprouted grains, and bitter foods and herbs.
  • Heat is balanced by cooling foods such as salads, cucumbers, melons, bean dishes, and mint.
  • Dryness is improved by moistening foods like fatty fish, grass-fed animal fats, nuts, avocado, and fermented soy.

By understanding your body’s constitution and the energetic qualities of food, you can make dietary choices that support your healing journey and promote overall balance and well-being.

Kang is amazing at her practice! She takes her time with you and teaches you about your pain body and improves your total health. I went for back pain and She treats me with Herbs, Accupuncture, Cupping and Dieting. My pain and mood has decreased drastically!
I felt better within my first visit to Dr. Kang by the second visit I absolutely knew I was on the track to recovery. I feel like traditional medicine has failed me in many ways, we are just treating the symptoms whereas DrKang is helping to treat the underlying cause for a better quality of life.
It’s really inspiring to come across and work under a doctor who has such high respect and integrity when it comes to patients and their well-being. I’ve gotten to meet a vast range of patients since working here, some who with the help of Dr. Kang, were able to maintain a good bill of health for years after treatment only having to return for check-ins and human tune-ups. It is such a rewarding experience working here and am delighted with every new patient encounter and I am proud to speak of all of the accolades gathered by Dr. Kang and welcoming them to her practice!
Dr. Kang helps me to feel more relaxed, sleep much better. I used to feel stiff and not sleep well. I love the cupping and the acupuncture. Highly recommend Dr. Yu Kang for any one seeking for holistic care. I will bring my friends and family to see her too. Thank you very much for the care.
Dr Kang is very thorough and concerns about her patients. She is very knowledgeable and considerate. Acupuncture is great, my husband who is 86 has gained stamina, more flexible. We love her!
I came to this office with shoulder and elbow pain, thinking acupuncture and cupping would help. Dr. Kang explained that she likes to treat the whole person, and also gave me a prescription for an herbal supplement and adjustments to my diet.My shoulder and elbow pain have improved, I sleep better at night, my knees feel less achy when going down stairs, and I’ve lost weight.Overall a great experience and I intend to continue treatments and lifestyle changes.
Excellent and thorough treatment - the combination of acupuncture, cupping, herbs, and nutrition support has been very beneficial to my overall health! Highly recommend Dr. Kang and this practice to anyone interested in improving their health and well-being.
Wonderful and knowledgeable doctor! Highly recommend!
I’ve been working for Dr. Yu Kang for a little over a month now, and it’s been such a great experience thus far! I love the calming, serene aura of the environment, makes it easy to work. Dr. Kang is amazing! If you want an acupuncturist that is genuinely interested in improving your condition, Dr. Kang is the one for you. I’ve witnessed first hand the improvement in patients, some just after 1 session. She is overly qualified( her many degrees backs it up), kind, genuine spirit, and cares about your well being. Her knowledge mixed with the patient willingness to learn and make lifestyle changes will have you leaving out the office feeling brand new!
I feel sooo much better and my lower back pain is gone. I feel good about my journey to health. Thanks you Dr. Kang
