Practitioners Corner: June Spotlight, Dr. Yueying Li, L.Ac.

Medicine has always been my passion since my youth. I discovered the amazing healing effects of Chinese Medicine from my own personal experiences of treating sports injuries and skin conditions. I have been practicing Chinese Medicine for 34 years, in China, YueYing Li (2)_croppedthe UK, and currently in Los Angeles California. I earned both my medical degree and Chinese Medical education and training in China in 1983. I then completed an advanced dermatology specialty training in China. In addition to my practice, I have always loved teaching Chinese Medicine.  I have taught for 34 years in China, the UK, and now in the U.S., as a faculty member at Yo San University for their master’s and doctoral programs.
I have always have been interested in working with classical formulas, such as those from Shang Han Lun, which have been around for over 1,800 years. There is good reason why these formulas have been used for such a long time – they work! I have been impressed with the efficacy, as well as versatility of the classical formulas such as Xiao Chai Hu Tang for treating various conditions. Using simple modifications practitioners can treat so many different cases with success. In order to effectively use the classical formulas, it is important for practitioners to thoroughly understand the herbs and formulas. I am excited to participate in this month’s webinars with TCMzone and share my experience and knowledge of the many uses of Xiao Chai Hu Tang, so practitioners can continue to deepen the knowledge and herbal clinical skills to help more patients.
For many years, along with my clinical practice, I have been helping graduates who have become practitioners with their questions regarding their clinical cases and how to use herbs and formulas. Often times, practitioners begin their practice right out of school and face difficulty with herbal prescriptions for certain cases. I have realized that there is a need for a support system for practitioners beyond CEU courses where they can get practical support for their cases and answers to their specific questions. Now, along with my team of experienced TCM practitioners, we are developing a professional web platform where our fellow practitioners can get support for their questions when needed. Excellent herbal products such as TCMzone and my specialty topical herbal products will also be available on the website. Watch for www.HerbalTCM.com to launch Sept. 1, 2019.
I believe that a great practitioner should not only have a good education, knowledge, passion and compassion but also know how to choose the right formulas with quality ingredients that are effective and safe. We have been using TCMzone herbs in our practice for many years for their excellent quality as well as efficacy, safety and easy dosage modifications to create custom herb formulas.
I am grateful to have this special opportunity to share my knowledge and experience via the TCMzone June webinars. Together, we can grow as practitioners and continue to advance Chinese Medicine.
