Ann's Story

Here's my story.

If you feel skeptical or unsure of Chinese herbal remedies, I could hardly blame you. I wasn't a believer either until my daughter grew very sick and my father (the 4th generation herbalist) helped her get better with herbs.

I was born into a family of herbalists. My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, great-great grandfather were all herbalists. I represent the 5th generation in this long lineage dating back to Imperial China.

When I was three or four years old, I started to learn herbal songs and how to identify herbs. As I got older, I was taught how to process the herbs while working in my dad’s clinic in Vietnam. After we immigrated to the United States, my dad asked me if I wanted to pursue a career in TCM as an herbalist or acupuncturist. I said, “No, just leave me alone, Dad. I will find something I enjoy doing for work.” So, he left me alone to find my own way.

I wanted nothing to do with herbal medicine until I gave birth to my second daughter, Catherine, who was born with severe gastric reflux. When Catherine was 10 days old, I had to take her to the ER for IV injections into her little hand because she couldn’t keep milk down. Besides vomiting, she also was having diarrhea. Catherine was losing nutrition from both ends, so her tiny body was shrinking. At that time my dad warned me, “She needs to be treated with herbal medicine, otherwise she will have seizures later on.” I didn’t fully understand what my dad was talking about, so I ignored him.

My daughter got so ill that she could only take half an ounce of milk per hour. Before feeding her, I would use a syringe and shoot Zantac into her mouth to lessen the vomiting. As time passed, she needed milk more often, and consequently more Zantac. By the time Catherine was 8 months old, she needed to be fed and medicated 11 times a day.

I could hardly sleep, eat, shower or rest. Even at night, I had to drape my daughter over my shoulder for her to sleep. If I put Catherine down, she would vomit. I barely had time to squeeze in a 5-minute shower once or twice a week for myself. I was exhausted, but what could I do? I had to care for my daughter and do my best to survive each day with the hope that she would get better or at the very least her condition would not worsen.

Catherine had to wear a turtleneck with two sweaters along with a baby cap and scarf to be outside during the heat of summer, even when temperatures were 100 plus degrees. If I didn’t cover her up, she would have a runny nose, cough, and non stop vomiting. How will she be able to go to school or anywhere with air conditioning?

One day we went to a Vietnamese pho restaurant. After I set Catherine down into the high-chair, I turned around and adjusted my chair. Then I heard a woman’s shout, “Look at her!” I looked in the direction she pointed. It was Catherine…her eyes rolled up and her entire body stiff and shaking with fluid coming out of her mouth. Someone said, “Squeeze some lemon into her mouth.” I did it without hesitating and Catherine’s body relaxed.

We rushed her to the ER. For 3 days she was in the NICU where they monitored her brain. The doctors told me I was lucky because my daughter’s seizure didn’t last for more than 3 minutes which would have damaged her brain. After that I always carried a piece of lemon because I had no idea when my baby girl might have another seizure.

The seizures started to come weekly, so the doctor prescribed anti-seizure medication. Catherine wasn’t even 1 year of age, and already she was taking Zantac 11 times plus anti-seizure medicine 3 times a day. It was nearly impossible to administer the anti-seizure medicine because whenever I took out the syringe, she would cry and start vomiting.

I took Catherine to see a specialist at CHOC. I asked, “Doctor, have you ever seen any infant with this condition get well?” The doctor replied, “It depends. Some will grow out of it, but some don’t. If they don’t, then they will have to take medication for the rest of their life.”

“What do you mean by grow out of it?” The doctor explained that Catherine might get better by herself as she got older.

My mind was racing. “All this time the prescribed medication has not been treating her stomach?” The doctor said, “No, it only helps to guide the food down, so she won’t vomit it back up. That’s why you have to give it to her before the feeding.”

“Well, what if she doesn’t grow out of it?” In that case, Catherine will be dependent upon medication for the rest of her life. The doctor further informed me that she too was born with gastro reflux and is still taking medicine for the condition.

Her statement was like lightning in my brain. If the doctor can’t even treat herself for gastro reflux, how can she help my daughter? Seeing the futility of my path, I turned to my dad for help.

My dad advised me to stop all western drugs and to give her an herbal prescription 3 times a day. Administering medicine 3 times instead of 14 times a day to Catherine was a godsend to me. Even though it sounded too good to be true, I figured that I could still give Zantac to Catherine if she didn’t get better or continued to vomit.

After one month of herbs 3 times a day, Catherine vomited less and less. To test Catherine, I let her cry to see if she would vomit. She didn’t, so I knew she was getting better. After another month of herbal medicine, Catherine was able to wear less clothing without getting a runny nose, coughing, or vomiting. After 3 months of herbal formulas, she stopped having episodes of gastro reflux and seizure. Catherine will enjoy a normal, healthy life.

Because of Catherine’s dramatic recovery, I was sold on Chinese medicine and asked my dad to treat me. I fainted very easily, especially during the winter. After a few months of herbal formulas, I have never fainted again.

I started to have time to think and tried to understand why a piece of lemon helps to relax the muscles and stop a seizure. Lemon is a common citrus, yet it has magical powers that we don’t understand and underestimate. I wanted to learn more and find answers, so I decided to go to China which has a long history of herbal medicine. I went to TCM schools in China and Hong Kong and worked in the TCM hospitals to learn from the best herbal doctors in the world.

When I was there, I knew one day I would want to become an herbalist, but how can I get a steady supply of high-quality herbs. My dad and I backpacked across China and visited many farmlands. We interviewed farmers to grow herbs for us. Our products are used with the highest quality herbs that have been harvested at the height of their potency. They are substantially more expensive than less potent herbs that were harvested in the pre- or post-season.

After I came back to the United State, I worked with my dad and learned from his experiences and studied the formulas that our ancestors passed down. What I have been through helped me to understand the importance of health. Without health, don’t even talk about career, beauty, education, freedom, etc. I now have worked with many families who have suffered as I have. Their endearing appreciation drives me to work harder.

Understanding Acne, Zit, Pimple: A Comprehensive Guide


Acne, Zip, or Pimple is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, although it is most prevalent during adolescence. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of various types of lesions on the skin. While it is not a life-threatening condition, acne can have significant physical and psychological effects, impacting self-esteem and quality of life.

Types of Acne, Zip or Pimple


Acne, Zip, or Pimple can manifest in various forms, including:

  1. Blackheads: Open comedones that appear as small, dark bumps on the skin's surface. They are caused by clogged pores containing a mixture of oil and dead skin cells.
  2. Whiteheads: Closed comedones that appear as small, flesh-colored bumps on the skin. Like blackheads, they are also caused by clogged pores but remain closed at the surface.
  3. Papules: Small, red bumps that are tender to the touch. Papules occur when the walls surrounding the pores become inflamed and break down.
  4. Pustules: Similar to papules, pustules are red, tender bumps with a white or yellow center filled with pus.
  5. Nodules: Large, painful, solid lumps beneath the surface of the skin. Nodules form deep within the hair follicles and can be difficult to treat.
  6. Cysts: Deep, pus-filled lumps that are painful to the touch and can cause scarring. Cysts are the most severe form of acne and often require medical intervention.

Western Medicine Perspective on Acne


Acne, from the viewpoint of Western medicine, is a multifactorial skin condition that involves a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Understanding the pathophysiology of acne is crucial for effective treatment and management. Here's a detailed overview of acne from the Western medicine perspective:

Causes and Pathophysiology


  • Excess Sebum Production: One of the primary contributors to acne is the overproduction of sebum, an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands in the skin. Sebum helps keep the skin lubricated, but excess production can lead to clogged pores and acne formation.
  • Clogged Hair Follicles: When dead skin cells and excess sebum accumulate in hair follicles, they can form a plug, creating an ideal environment for the proliferation of bacteria, particularly Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes).
  • Bacterial Infection: P. acnes, a type of bacteria commonly found on the skin, plays a significant role in the development of acne. The bacteria multiply within clogged pores, triggering inflammation and the formation of acne lesions.
  • Inflammation: The body's immune response to bacterial colonization and clogged pores leads to inflammation in the affected area. This inflammatory response contributes to the redness, swelling, and pain associated with acne lesions.
  • Hormonal Factors: Hormonal fluctuations, particularly during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause, can influence sebum production and contribute to acne development. Androgens, the male hormones present in both males and females, play a crucial role in stimulating the sebaceous glands.
  • Genetic Predisposition: Genetics also play a role in acne development. Individuals with a family history of acne are more likely to experience the condition themselves, suggesting a genetic predisposition to acne susceptibility.

Treatment Approaches


Treatment for acne aims to reduce sebum production, unclog pores, kill bacteria, and decrease inflammation. Common treatment options in Western medicine include:

  • Topical Treatments: Over-the-counter and prescription topical medications containing ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retinoids, and antibiotics can help unclog pores and reduce inflammation.
  • Oral Medications: Oral antibiotics, hormonal therapies (such as birth control pills for women), and isotretinoin (Accutane) may be prescribed for moderate to severe acne cases.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Adopting a skincare routine that includes gentle cleansing and moisturizing can help manage acne. Avoiding harsh skincare products, touching the face, and picking at acne lesions can also prevent further irritation and scarring.
  • Procedures: Dermatological procedures such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser therapy, and corticosteroid injections can be effective in treating stubborn or severe acne and reducing the risk of scarring.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Perspective on Acne


Acne, known as "Fěncì" or "Àn Chuāng" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is understood as a manifestation of internal imbalances within the body. TCM views acne not merely as a superficial skin condition but as a reflection of disharmonies in the body's organ systems and the flow of qi, or vital energy. Here's a detailed overview of acne from the TCM perspective:

Causes and Pathophysiology


  1. Internal Heat and Dampness: TCM attributes the development of acne to an accumulation of internal heat and dampness in the body. Heat refers to excessive metabolic activity and inflammation, while dampness refers to stagnation and accumulation of fluids. Together, heat and dampness create an environment conducive to the formation of acne lesions.
  2. Liver Qi Stagnation: In TCM, the liver is responsible for the smooth flow of qi throughout the body. Emotional stress, frustration, and anger can lead to Liver Qi stagnation, which may manifest as acne, papules, or pustules, particularly along the jawline and cheeks.
  3. Spleen and Stomach Imbalances: The spleen and stomach play crucial roles in digestion and the transformation of food into qi and blood. Weakness or dysfunction of these organs can lead to dampness accumulation, affecting the skin's health and contributing to the development of acne or comedones that can be either open (blackheads) or closed (whiteheads).
  4. Blood Stasis: Stagnation of blood circulation, known as blood stasis, can result from various factors such as trauma, poor circulation, or menstrual irregularities. Blood stasis may exacerbate inflammation and delay the healing process of acne lesions.
  5. Qi and Blood Circulation: TCM emphasizes the importance of proper qi and blood circulation for overall health, including skin health. Acne is often seen as a result of stagnant qi and blood, which can lead to the formation of cysts, nodules, and painful lesions.
  6. External Influences: In addition to internal imbalances, TCM considers external factors that may contribute to acne. These factors include exposure to damp or hot environments, excessive consumption of spicy or greasy foods, and emotional stress.

Patterns of Disharmony


TCM categorizes acne into different patterns of disharmony based on the presenting symptoms and underlying imbalances. Common patterns associated with acne include:

  • Heat in the Lung and Stomach: This pattern is characterized by red, inflamed acne lesions, often accompanied by excessive oiliness and heat sensations in the affected areas.
  • Liver Qi Stagnation: Acne associated with liver qi stagnation typically presents as papules and pustules along the jawline and cheeks. Emotional stress and menstrual irregularities may exacerbate this pattern.
  • Spleen Qi Deficiency with Dampness: Individuals with this pattern often experience acne accompanied by fatigue, bloating, and poor digestion. The skin may appear dull, and acne lesions may be slow to heal.
  • Blood Stasis: Acne with blood stasis manifests as dark, stubborn lesions that take longer to resolve. Patients may also experience menstrual irregularities and pain.

TCM Treatment Approaches


TCM treatment for acne focuses on addressing the underlying patterns of disharmony and restoring balance to the body. Treatment modalities may include:

  1. Herbal Medicine: TCM herbal formulas are prescribed based on the individual's pattern of disharmony. Chinese herbs for acne, zits, or pimples are commonly used herbs with heat-clearing, dampness-drying, and blood-invigorating properties that are commonly used to treat acne.
  2. Acupuncture: Acupuncture helps regulate the flow of qi and blood, reduce inflammation, and balance the organ systems implicated in acne. Acupuncture points on the face and body may be selected based on the individual's pattern of disharmony.
  3. Dietary and Lifestyle Modifications: TCM emphasizes the importance of dietary and lifestyle factors in managing acne. Recommendations include avoiding greasy, spicy foods, reducing stress through relaxation techniques such as Tai Chi or QiGong, and ensuring adequate rest and sleep.
  4. Topical Applications: Herbal poultices or compresses containing herbs with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties may be applied topically to reduce inflammation and promote healing of acne lesions.
  5. Nano Needling with Herbal Serums: A proprietary herbal serum containing herbs with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties is used with nano needling, a non-surgical procedure with a holistic approach to balancing the internal organs while stimulating the skin’s sebum production, reducing inflammation, and promoting detoxification. To provide smoother, softer, and more radiant skin.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulas vs Current Herbalism


Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) boasts an extensive history of herbal treatment, developed over thousands of years, offering valuable insights. In contrast to Western herbalism's reliance on single herbs at high doses, TCM utilizes combinations of 4 to 10 herbs, working synergistically to address various body imbalances. This approach enhances positive effects and minimizes negative side effects. TCM formulas not only alleviate symptoms but also target the root cause of the imbalance, allowing for reduced or discontinued herbal intake as health improves.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Formulas vs Current Herbalism


While the medical industry and research groups focus on isolating and extracting specific compounds from herbs or herbal extracts offer concentrated compounds for new treatments, this approach may limit the benefits. The process of extracting herbs often involves the use of solvents or high heat, which can degrade the quality of the active compounds and may also introduce harmful residues. TCM emphasizes the use of whole herbs, where naturally occurring compounds complement each other, maximizing therapeutic effects.
