We use a holistic approach to find the root of your symptoms.
Our holistic approach uncovers the root of your symptoms, using Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine as a safe, effective, and preventative medical system. Patients can benefit from treatment for a wide range of conditions, as we work to identify and resolve the underlying issues over time. With its holistic nature, Chinese Medicine can simultaneously improve various symptoms during treatment. Many patients appreciate the relaxing effects and atmosphere, using it as a means to relieve stress and promote healing. Patients in ongoing treatment report improved mood, better immunity, increased body awareness, a clearer mind, and an overall enhanced quality of life. Our mission at Little Dragon Wellness is to treat you as a whole person, not just your individual symptoms, to restore health and balance for true healing. We treat patients with the same symptoms or diseases using different medicinals, focusing on the individual rather than the symptom. Restoring balance not only addresses surface symptoms but also improves overall health and serves as a preventative measure for future diseases. Discover the power of true healing with Little Dragon Wellness – where we transform suffering and survival into thriving by addressing the root causes of your symptoms instead of merely suppressing them. Experience the difference between conventional approaches and our dynamic, organic healing philosophy today.
At our Washington DC acupuncture clinic, we view suffering and disease as imbalances within the body.
Our mission is to treat the individual, not the symptoms,
to restore health and balance and facilitate true healing.
Suffering and dis-ease represent an imbalance in your ecosystem. Taking a pill and continuing to do, think and feel the same way can’t actually move the needle on your health. Chinese Medicine theory has a more nuanced and comprehensive way of understanding health that allows for improvements without harm. At Little Dragon Wellness, we utilize Chinese Medicine alongside lifestyle design and coaching to guide you towards health.
Patients who have the same symptom or disease are treated with different medicinals because we are treating the individual and not the symptom. Restoring the function of the imbalanced pattern not only addresses your surface symptoms but can improve other aspects of health and even serve as a preventative treatment to further diseases because it’s restoring health and balance.
Discovering the root cause of your symptoms allows for true healing versus symptom suppression. Our society is used to assuming a patient is broken and trying to ‘fix’ problems. It’s truly a different paradigm to have the power to help someone go from suffering or surviving to thriving. It’s the difference between using chemical sprays in industrial agricultural and tending to a dynamic and organic garden.
Chinese Medicine Theory is based in Nature. The body is a microcosm of the world, the macrocosm; each contains the same elements.

“Headaches brought me in the door but I quickly realized that there is so much more potential than pain relief alone. Over time, I’ve learned to take better care of myself, improve my ability to regulate my stress and change the trajectory of my autoimmune disease. For me, this translates in to improved energy and mood, regular cycles and clear skin. Coming regularly to treatment is a huge investment in my emotional and physical well being and is the backbone of my healthcare regimen.”
— Elena S, 34 YEARS OLD, ECONOMIST
