Mei Wang, PhD, TCMD, LAc, is a licensed acupuncturist and Oriental medicine practitioner at the Bloomington Natural Care Center. Wang graduated in 1986 from Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (China) with a bachelor’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and in 1999, she was awarded a master’s degree. In 2002, she received a PhD in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Shangdong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (China).

In addition to headache and pain management, Wang specializes in the treatment of a variety of health care problems, including allergies, women’s health issues (infertility, fibrocystic disease, morning sickness), emotional problems (depression, insomnia, compulsive thinking), fatigue syndrome, decreased immunity, gastrointestinal disorders (heart burn, constipation), and skin conditions (hives, eczema, neurodermatitis).

Wang feels it is important for her clients to know that acupuncture and Oriental medicine represents the accumulations of thousands of years of experience and practical knowledge gathered by the Chinese people in their long historical struggle against disease. Acupuncture is founded on a theoretical system that is guided by holism, an understanding of the function of organs, and an energetic framework of acupuncture meridians (energy channels).
