I came to Dr. Xu for relief of various menopausal miseries, including hot flashes, night sweats and disturbed sleep, heart palpitations, muscle pain, and mood swings. My primary care doctor did not acknowledge these symptoms as aspects of menopause, and it was not until I read that they were so recognized in traditional Chinese medicine that my worries about them subsided. (My primary care doctor’s) primary suggestion for dealing with my discomfort and pain had been an anti-depressant and other medications. Having read of acupuncture’s effectiveness, and determined to avoid serious medication if more holistic solutions could be found, I started seeing Dr. Xu once a week. His acupuncture treatments lessened the severity of my hot flashes right away, and soon moderated my other symptoms as well. With addition of the traditional Chinese herbs he suggested, my hot flashes disappeared almost completely. Dr. Xu continues to help me manage stress as well as the menopausal symptoms it exacerbates. I recommend him to any woman who seeks balance in her changing body.
I have been seeing Guangli since January 2005. He has been treating me weekly with both acupuncture and Chinese Herbs to help shrink my uterine fibroid. It has made a world of difference for me. My fibroid has been greatly reduced in size. I no longer have sacrum pain and many of my other uncomfortable symptoms have virtually disappeared. Guangli’s patience, professionalism, and knowledge shine through all of our visits. He is without a doubt the sweetest and most caring medical practitioner I’ve ever seen.
