“Being healthy involves achieving a balance between the mind, body, and the environment. It requires repeated calibration, patience, and self-compassion to achieve long-lasting changes,” says owner Dr. Lori Hsu, Licensed Acupuncturist, Doctor of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine.

Dr. Lori’s own healing journey introduced her to the ancient East Asian medicinal modalities of acupuncture and herbal medicine, allowing her to reconnect with her cultural roots while exploring the body’s mysteries and its relationship to natural phenomena.

OC Acupuncture and Herbs offers the following treatments:

●       Acupuncture

●       Herbal medicine

●       Fascia therapy with fire cupping, guasha, and acupressure

●       Diet and lifestyle coaching

“Acupuncture is an ‘outside-in’ approach to treating the body’s imbalances. Herbal medicine, on the other hand, is the use of herbal properties to treat the body from the inside out.”

East Asian medicine has a coherent holistic theory connecting the two approaches, and that’s what differentiates it from other frameworks.  Also, Dr. Lori integrates Stecco’s framework for diagnosing and treating the fascia dysfunction and is one of the few practitioners who do this in Orange County. She refers to this blend of the ancient and modern as fascia therapy, and this is what delivers the best outcome for her patients.

The benefits of acupuncture and herbal medicine include naturally relieving symptoms while restoring health with few long-term side effects. 

“East Asian medicine focuses on treating the root cause of the problem, not just managing the symptoms.”

Since opening the clinic in 2022, Dr. Lori’s team has focused on meeting each patient’s unique needs and health goals.

“We tap into the body’s own mechanisms to heal through treatments that are rooted in ancient theories and modern science-based updated understanding of the fascia. We provide individualized treatment plans that treat the body from the outside in with acupuncture, fascia therapy; and inside-out with herbal medicine, diet, and lifestyle consultations.”

Above all, Dr. Lori wants patients to feel in control when it comes to their wellness goals.

“I want patients to feel empowered about how to take care of their health in a holistic, natural way,” she says.
