Hong Chen, L.Ac, is a acupuncturist with an extensive and impressive twenty years in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. 

 Hong Chen L.Ac is an experienced acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioner based in California, with over twenty years of clinical experience. She is committed to integrating TCM theories with practical applications and excels in diagnostic differentiation and treatment, specializing in formulating herbal remedies and comprehensive treatment plans. Hong Chen has demonstrated exceptional success in internal medicine, pain management, and particularly in dermatology, treating complex cases such as acne, melasma, urticaria, vitiligo, and psoriasis.

From the age of nine, Hong Chen began her studies in TCM under the guidance of her grandparents, who were not only her family but also her initial mentors. She later enhanced her understanding of TCM classics and the works of major medical figures at Shandong Weifang College, accumulating extensive clinical experience. Her thorough research into the "Huangdi Neijing" (The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine) has enabled her to blend scientific theory within clinical practice.

In treating skin disorders, Hong Chen identifies the primary causes as hormonal imbalances and the gradual accumulation of toxins. She explains that when the body's excretory system fails to eliminate toxins effectively, they are expelled through the skin's pores. If the sweat glands are blocked, these toxins cannot be expelled through sweat and instead accumulate on the skin's surface, leading to lesions. Hong Chen tailors treatment plans based on the individual conditions of her patients.

Hong Chen’s approach extends beyond traditional Chinese herbs and acupuncture; she also emphasizes the importance of overall health and lifestyle modifications to ensure long-lasting and comprehensive treatment outcomes.
