My Path to becoming a NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR
While growing up, herbal concoction was a common medicinal practice in my family. My very first memory of holistic medicine was when my grandma took me to an herbalist by piggy back ride to an apartment complex in the midst of San Francisco Chinatown to treat my high fever. Intrigued by the use of acupuncture and herbal medicine, I knew I wanted to practice medicine. But what kind of medicine became clear when my godfather (who practices qi-gong and herbal medicine extensively), introduced me to Naturopathy, aka Naturopathic or Natural Medicine.
