Valley Spirit Traditional Medicine

Medicine for Harmony, Vitality and Illumination

Classical Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine

The valley spirit not dying
is called the mysterious female.
The opening of the mysterious female
is called the root of heaven and earth.
Continuous, on the brink of existence,
to put it into practice, don't try to force it."
-  Tao Te Ching 6 (Trans. Thomas Cleary)
