Chinese Medicine & Acupressure in Oakland Chinatown

Our Story

Te Xin Kuang a.k.a. Victor Kuang

A simple act on a crowded bus started it all. In the early 1990s, soon after immigrating to the U.S., Victor gave up his seat for an older man named Xu Wei. They spoke, and Victor learned he was dealing with liver trouble. Victor invited him home, where his father - a Chinese herbal practitioner - prepared a traditional formula. Xu Wei recovered well and, moved by the kindness, helped Victor and his father find a storefront and get the clinic set up.
