Services
Classical Acupuncture
Classical Acupuncture at Lum restores balance through all 68 meridian channels, addressing chronic pain, emotional trauma, and systemic imbalances. Unlike traditional TCM, this method accesses sinew, divergent, and extraordinary channels for comprehensive healing. Patients experience reduced inflammation, emotional release, and improved nervous system regulation through weekly sessions that promote lasting transformation in body and mind.
ZenBelly Reset Program
This 6-month program targets gut-brain axis imbalances using BiomeFx stool testing and personalized protocols. By analyzing microbial diversity and pathogen load, we create customized nutrition plans, herbal treatments, and supplement regimens to alleviate anxiety, depression, and digestive disorders. Patients receive telemedicine consultations, progress tracking, and lifestyle modifications to restore gut health and emotional well-being.
Microneedling Facial
Microneedling treatments stimulate collagen production using vegan apple stem cells and hyaluronic acid. This non-invasive procedure reduces fine lines, acne scars, and puffiness while improving skin texture and tone. Combined with LED light therapy and Chinese botanical serums, sessions promote lymphatic drainage and cellular renewal for natural, long-lasting beauty results without surgical intervention.
Remote Healing
Remote sessions deliver acupuncture, reiki, and wellness coaching globally through telemedicine platforms. Patients receive personalized herbal prescriptions, dietary guidance, and stress-reduction techniques while accessing lab testing kits shipped directly to their homes. This service maintains the clinic's high standards of care for individuals seeking mental health support and chronic condition management from any location.
Herbal Medicine
Custom herbal formulations use Legendary Herbs' GMP-certified granules to address specific health concerns. Practitioners create tailored blends targeting hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, and emotional disorders by combining traditional Chinese medicine principles with modern functional diagnostics. Patients receive detailed instructions for preparing teas and integrating botanical remedies into daily wellness routines for systemic healing.
