Constitutional Acupuncture

What is special about Constitutional Acupuncture?

I am a California licensed acupuncturist. I established my practice as Constitutional Acupuncture, because I believe the best treatment is to treat your issues according to your own constitution. In this one size fits all society; we conform and try to fit into a “standard” body, mind, and belief system. It's as if we all try to fit into a pair of standard size shoes. If we can't fit in, we blame ourselves and try harder. In the long run, our feet hurt and crave for relief. The pain and disease are signals that our body tells us to change. Do we solve this issue by turning a blind eye on it, complaining about the pain, applying patches on our feet, putting some fill in the shoes, or finding a pair of shoes which fit us?

At Constitutional Acupuncture, I use acupuncture, herbal medicines, cupping, moxa, Qi Gong (breathing exercise), essential oils, crystals, and many other remedies to treat the symptoms as well as deal with root problems for your individual needs. No matter if it is physical or emotional, when our body's alarm system goes off, we need to listen and find a way to improve our well being. Only when we have a healthy body, mind, and belief system, we will be able to achieve our goals and happiness in this precious journey of life. Let's get started!

Who is Andrew D. Lou, L.Ac.?

I am a 4th generation acupuncturist. My great grandfather, grandparents, aunt and uncle are all traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners. My father is a medical doctor. When I was a child, I had great interests in animals, plants, minerals, and everything in the world of nature. After working as a manager of a M.I.S. department for more than a decade, I got chronic fatigue and depression from mental stress and hard work. Regular treatments were unsuccessful and I refused to take anti-depressants for the rest of my life. As a result, I decided to respond to my true calling and study TCM to help myself and others as well. I am honored to provide service to you using a holistic physical, emotional and spiritual approach to treating your unique constitution.
