HOW ACUPUNCTURE CAN TREAT MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL CONDITIONS AS WELL AS PHYSICAL ONES

     Mary Huang is a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner with a unique personal experience influencing her professional life. She has been in practice for 16 years, including a 9-year period when she co-owned and managed an acupuncture/healing arts clinic. She left to spend 4 years living off the grid in the rain forest jungle of Costa Rica. There, she experienced the energetic power that we all possess to help us heal.

     Mary Huang moved to Honolulu in 2022 and founded Singing Tree Acupuncture. Her work includes acupuncture, Chinese herbs, homeopathy, bodywork and energy work. She has found that most people’s main concern is their physical health. “I am completely in alignment with that. At the same time, it is important to remember that we are not just our bodies. So, in order to be in our best physical health, we must also seek alignment and balance with the mind and the soul.”

     Doctor Taketa-Wong believes that it’s important to keep an open mind about specialties we may not be familiar with. “They all have something to teach,” she said. “Naturopathic medicine is one of the specialties I was trained in. The other is Chinese Medicine and acupuncture. I treat the whole person, not just symptoms of diseases. Why do they have this condition? What is the emotional component? Mary Huang’s knowledge of the spiritual side of ill health can be eye opening.”
