Meet Ying Zhang
L.Ac, Dip. OM
Ying Zhang is a California Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac) and Diplomate of Oriental Medicine certified by NCCAOM (The National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, now called NCBAHM).
Ying became interested in Chinese Medicine after it helped her with insomnia, digestive issues and fatigue, with which she had struggled for years. Out of curiosity, she took classes and attended workshops about this thousand-year tradition. It eventually became her life long calling.
Ying holds a Master's of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine from Alhambra Medical University, CA. She went to China after graduation to follow local practitioners where she encountered hundreds of cases every week and got to treat patients under supervision and guidance. Ying still continues to learn new theories and skills and applies to her practice to improve overall results
Ying loves spending time practicing martial arts, Chinese calligraphy and tea. She enjoys cooking, hiking, knitting, and gardening in the LA Arboretum where she volunteers regularly.

Modalities
Common modalities used in Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture
Inserting thin, sterile needles into specific body points to balance energy flow (Qi) and promote natural healing. It has a history of over 1000 years and is widely used for pain relief, stress reduction, and treating chronic conditions like nausea or migraines. Western perspectives suggest it stimulates the body's natural pain-killing chemicals, increases circulation, and reduces inflammation.
Cupping
Applying a negative pressure on the skin, by either heating the air in a cup or using a manual pump. The negative pressure pulls the skin and underlying muscle tissue upward, breaks the stasis, increases blood flow, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing.
Moxibustion
A heat therapy most famous for treating breech pregnancy in the US. However, it has been used to treat various conditions throughout history, including but not limited to, joint pain, arthritis, muscular spasms, digestive issue, fatigue, immune strengthening, menstrual cramps, and infertility. A common practice is to light a moxa stick (resembling a cigar) and hold it close to the skin for several minutes, to stimulate the acupoints and meridians.
