Acupuncture
​
Traditional acupuncture involves needle insertion,moxibustion, electro-therapy and cupping therapy. According to the theories of TCM, stimulating acupuncture points corrects imbalances in the flow of qi through channels known as meridians. It aims to treat a range of conditions,though it is most commonly used for pain relief.
Herbs
​
There are an estimated 6,000 species in use, including nearly 1,000 materials derived from plant sources and over 100 minerals, More than three hundred herbs that are commonly used today have a history of use that goes back at least 2,000 years. Over that time, a vast amount of experience has been gained that has gone towards perfecting their clinical applications. As a TCM practitioner, I will design a specific formulation for an individual patient, which might be changed frequently over a course of treatment.
Cupping
​
Generally, cupping is combined with acupuncture in one treatment, but it can also be used alone. The suction and negative pressure created by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and sedate the nervous system (which makes it an excellent treatment for high blood pressure). Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and even cellulite. For weight loss and cellulite treatments, oil is first applied to the skin, and then the cups are moved up and down the surrounding area.
Acupressure & Moxibustion
​
Acupressure and Moxibustion can be very effective both as a preventative and as a treatment for many health conditions such as: headaches, general aches and pains, colds and flu, arthritis, nervous tension, menstrual cramps. Acupressure points can also be stimulated to increase energy and feelings of well being, reduce stress, and stimulate the immune system.

Testimonials
It was on the recommendation of a neurologist that I sought out TCMP. The first practitioner I went to eventually referred me to Dr. Lydia Li. I had been struggling for many years with chronic migraines that had me spending an average of 22days/month in bed, and I'm so thankful to Dr. Li who was finally able to get these under control for me and eventually pretty much rid me of them.
In the process, I drank some awful tasting teas (have to be honest!) and had many acupuncture treatments but it was all worth it. Dr. Lydia gave me my life back and I will forever be indebted to her for this. She is an incredibly caring and knowledgeable person.
I have sought out Dr. Li for seven years for various health concerns. She is trustworthy, intuitive, and a hard working doctor who models 'life long learning' like few others. Her deep compassion and professionalism are matched by the effectiveness of her treatments. I highly recommend Lydia's TCM for anyone who values treating the source of the problem instead of medicating the symptoms.
Lydia Li has been a trusted and excellent part of my family's holistic journey for over four years. She has helped us to discover that working with the source of the problem (liver, kidney, lungs, blood and spleen) is a much more realistic approach to healthcare than just putting a bandaid on the problem...sort of speak. She has taught us that prevention is the best medicine. She has helped us with low energy, back pain, cleansing, weight loss, thyroid, tiredness, depression, hot flashes, acne, skin problems and much more. I highly recommend her gentle acupuncture and Chinese herbs for healing.

I recently started seeing Lydia mostly for my migraines. I'm only 24 and have suffered with them for over 10 years. I've been to countless doctors, all who said there was nothing they could do. The first time I saw Lydia she gave me some herbal medication, and I still can't believe the result. I've only had 2 migraines in the past month, which is a huge improvement for me as I used to get them everyday. Last time I saw her I decided to try acupuncture for the first time. She's very skilled at what she does, and always makes sure you feel comfortable. She truly is an amazing Chinese medicine doctor and one of the nicest people I've ever met.
I've been going to Dr. Li for the past few years. She's very caring and attentive, and has treated a number of my ailments, including chronic back pain and digestive issues. It is always evident that my well-being is her primary concern and she has told me on a few occasions that I need to take better care of myself so that I don't have to see her for treatment - clearly she cares more about my health than getting as much business as possible. If all healthcare practitioners were like her, we would all be healthier individuals.
I met Lydia Li on April 1. 2016. She gave me herbal tea and acupuncture treatment .The tea tasted is good and within a month my since child bronchitis and the coughing disappeared and my entire body pain greatly reduced.
She improved my strength and vigour.
I felt like a new person and 20 years younger.
She returned my health.
I could whistle and dance with my grandchildren for the first time in 20 years.
I really appreciate Lydia Li for returning my health!

I have been coming to Lydia since March of 2019.I was diagnosed with lung cancer in feb. 2019.I had a tube inserted in my back to drain the fluids.A nurse came to drain my lung 3 times a week and took out 350 ml each time.I had that done from March to July.Then the tube became plugged and I had to go to hospital to get my lung drained.I was in 10 days before the lung fluids were totally drained.
Lydia put me on herbal tea and it helps a lot.I feel better.No more swelling.The tumour has shrunk and I feel great.The acupuncture is helping with the pain.I have been feeling good ever since I have been coming.
I like to recommend her to anybody.

Thank you so much for your care.
When I first saw you I was internally
a mess My thyroid was overactive
and my adrenals were exhausted
After only two months my thyroid is
back in the normal range and has
been now for two months. At first
I was skeptical but I decided to go all
in for at least 3 months (drinking the required tea each day and eating the
foods you encouraged and stayed
away from the ones you told me
to avoid right now).
After one month I was feeling
remarkably better, was sleeping
better and was on the road to optimal health. Thank you doesn't begin to
sum up how grateful I am. Between
the acupuncture and the tea I am
feeling healthier than I have for
10 years.
I began seeing Lydia many years ago on
the recommendation of one of my
health care practitioners. Lydia came
highly recommended. My health issues
have been complex - autoimmune and digestive issues along with chronic inflammation and muscle pain. None
of my other health care practitioners
could understand why I wasn't
improving with the significant dietary
and lifestyle changes I had made.
Lydia works with the root cause of
health problems and through a
combination of acupuncture and
herbal medicine, I began to see improvements in all areas of my health.
I have been able to resume many
activities that I had given up because
of pain and low energy. Significant improvements in my blood tests (Anti-nuclear antibodies test indicates autoimmune function and C- reactive protein indicates inflammation in the
body) have proven that my body is
healing and continues to heal. I now
see Lydia 2-3 times a year for ongoing support and continued healing. I have
also noticed that treatments with my
other health care practitioners are now more effective.
Lydia is a very gentle, kind, and compassionate woman whose priority
is helping people feel better and heal.
