We are proud to announce the publication of Dr. Maoshing Ni’s
newest book,
Second Spring: Dr. Mao’s Hundreds of Natural Secrets for Women
to Revitalize and Rejuvenate at Any Age (Free Press; April
7, 2009). Dr. Mao has created a tip-filled guide for women to
enhance energy, sexuality and health during the second half of
life. With uncomfortable symptoms of perimenopause beginning as
early as age 35 for some women, it’s important to get ready for
the big changes ahead!
Dr. Mao’s newest book, Secrets of Self
Healing, is packed with healing remedies including diet,
herbal supplement, acupressure and exercise therapies to treat
many common conditions. His last book, Secrets of Longevity, was
a top selling book reaching #20 on
Amazon.com.
Welcome to Tao of Wellness, an integrated health, well-being and
longevity center. We view each patient as an individual whose well being
is affected by lifestyle, including diet, emotions, attitude and
environment. Thus each person’s health needs will differ from those of
another.
From the time you enter the Tao of Wellness, to the time you leave,
you will experience each staff member as part of our healing team. We
encourage the formation of a personalized, respectful and trusting
long-term healing partnership. We at Tao of Wellness value this
partnership highly; we believe the best healing is achieved in a
reciprocal relationship. Our doctors are highly skilled in the art and
science of healing, and believe in empowering each patient with
knowledge and confidence. We are looking forward to anticipating and
responding to your health and wellness needs; our mission is to serve
you and provide you with a total healing experience.
Fall is flu season, and our aim is to create wellness. Our November
Wellness Newsletter provides you with lots of insight and information about the flu as well as tips for keeping it away--naturally. * The Los Angeles area had many fires, and to maintain balance, we need water.

Did You Know?
Research
has shown that acupuncture can be beneficial to people with severe heart
failure. By reducing the pressure on the heart, acupuncture decreases
activity in the sympathetic nervous system regulating involuntary
movements such as heartbeat and blood pressure. Scandinavian studies
have shown that acupuncture can increase the heart's working capacity,
reducing pain and the need for medication.
In Chinese medicine, chest pain and heart failure have different
causes. The basic cause of chest pain is obstruction of the circulation
of chi and blood. Deficient patterns include weak circulation of blood
with increased viscosity which causes stagnation. Excess patterns
include pathogenic substances which block chi and blood circulation.
In a 2004 study, acupuncture was shown to be helpful in reducing pain due to knee arthritis. It also could be beneficial for sufferers of post-traumatic stress disorder. And when used along with in vitro fertilization, it may be effective in increasing the odds of success in female conception. Stimulating an acupuncture point in the toe even may help correct the breech position of babies in the last trimester and allow more women to avoid C-sections, according to a study in the Journal of the
American Medical Association.
