He fully inherits the Fengyang "70% nourishment, 30% treatment" system and serves as the core inheritor of Fengyang Daoist Medicine in China, heading the Shantou Fengyang Daoist TCM Training Base. His clinical work centers on the spleen-stomach and Lingnan/eastern Guangdong constitutions, delivered through a three-in-one model: internal herbal medicine + Fengyang nine-line acupoint Tui Na + Fengyang Taiji guidance.

III. Core Wellness & Clinical Philosophy (Four Pillars)

1️⃣ Upholding the Lineage: 70% Nourishment, 30% Treatment

Dimension	Content	Role
30% Treatment	Herbal medicine, Tui Na	Treatment methods
70% Nourishment	Daily routine, dietary avoidance, emotions, movement guidance	The foundation of recovery

Places great emphasis on dietary avoidance: without cutting off disease-triggering factors, chronic conditions easily relapse;
Treatment must mobilize the body's self-healing capacity;
Does not pursue rapid, aggressive results—chronic disease requires gradual, steady progress.

2️⃣ Spleen-Stomach as the Foundation; Treating Lingnan / Eastern Guangdong Constitutions

Constitutional profile of eastern Guangdong: predominantly damp-heat interwoven with spleen deficiency. Local habits of late nights and rich, heavily flavored foods commonly produce spleen deficiency with dampness, and qi deficiency with blood stasis.

Clinical approach:

Protect the spleen-stomach first;
Fortify spleen and boost qi while transforming dampness and dissipating stasis—simultaneously;
Skillful use of Lingnan native herbs—Radix Fici Hirtae (五指毛桃, "Southern Astragalus"), Radix Millettiae Speciosae (牛大力), Astragalus (黄芪), Codonopsis (党参);
Avoids indiscriminate use of bitter-cold attacking herbs (which damage spleen yang).

💡 Lingnan herbal wisdom: Radix Fici Hirtae ("Southern Astragalus") fortifies the spleen, boosts qi, and transforms damp-phlegm; Radix Millettiae Speciosae tonifies deficiency, moistens the lung, and strengthens sinews. Both are mild in nature—ideal for eastern Guangdong's damp-heat-with-deficiency constitution, perfectly matching Fengyang's principle of "protecting righteous qi."

3️⃣ Three-in-One Treatment Model: Internal Herbs + Fengyang External Therapy + Wellness Guidance

① Internal Medicine: Rooted in Shanghan Classical Formulas, Adapted with Lingnan Folk Herbs

Skilled with center-supplementing and qi-boosting formulas, using Astragalus (黄芪) generously for chronic non-healing ulcers and hard-to-recover qi deficiency;
Documented cases include: external-contraction fever, impediment (Bi) pain, chronic non-healing wounds from insect/toxin injury, damp-heat impediment regulation;
Also addresses sub-health and chronic internal-medicine miscellaneous disorders.

② External Therapy: Fengyang Nine-Line Acupoint Tui Na (Senior Fengyang Tui Na Practitioner)

A signature Fengyang Daoist Tui Na method—acupoint stimulation and release along nine reaction lines on the back, combined with fire cupping.

Action	Indications
Regulates cervical/lumbar spine and joint pain	Cervical spondylosis, lumbar disorders, shoulder/knee impediment pain
Regulates visceral dysfunction	Skillful use of back Shu points to regulate the zang-fu organs
Addresses stubborn conditions	Musculoskeletal stubborn disorders, fatigue syndrome

③ Movement Guidance: Promoting the Fengyang Taiji Eight Forms

Integrates Taiji guidance into wellness plans, teaching patients daily practice;
Tonifies yang and unblocks the meridians as a long-term chronic-disease rehabilitation method;
Extends treatment into home-based self-care.

4️⃣ Body-Mind Harmony; Integrating Chinese and Western Medicine

References modern lab indicators, yet centers on TCM's four examinations and pattern differentiation;
Emphasizes the impact of emotional stagnation on chronic disease;
Intake covers sleep, urination and defecation, and mental-emotional state—never focusing narrowly on a local symptom.
