Throughout October, Dr. Lu will lead a workshop focusing on breast cancer prevention, treatment, and recovery from a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) perspective. He will present and analyze a series of patient cases, illustrating how TCM practices have been effectively applied.
The sessions will highlight specific treatments, including herbal medicine, acupuncture, and Qigong, highlighting their roles in supporting the body’s natural healing processes and enhancing overall patient outcomes.
