Her extensive education in both TCM and western medicine gives her a unique perspective in treating her patients holistically. Dr. Hu is an also expert in treating both men and women with immunological and endocrine disorders, including diabetes, thyroid disorders, arthritis, allergies, and sinus problems.

Her search for better treatment has also led her to develop her own herbal line of products for infertility and menstrual disorders.

Dr. Hu believes in taking into account her patients' physical, emotional, environmental, and spiritual backgrounds. Using both herbs and acupuncture in her practice, she provides a healing and caring environment where she encourages her patients to become active participants in their healing process.

During her own medical training she learned the value of practicing the energy movement of arts. Now she not only treats patients with her medical expertise, but empowers them to achieve and maintain thriving good health by teaching Taiji and Qigong.

Along with treating patients, Dr. Hu is now sharing her knowledge with the students in Acupuncture schools in Los Angeles. She teaches courses in herbology, formulas, gynecology, acupuncture techniques and Tai chi.
