Evidence-Based Care

What the Research Says

Health Authority

The U.S. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (part of the National Institutes of Health) reviews what current research does and does not show about acupuncture across a range of conditions.

Systematic Review

An individual-patient-data meta-analysis of nearly 21,000 patients found acupuncture was associated with modest improvements in chronic pain compared with both sham and no-acupuncture controls, with benefits that persisted over time.

This research describes acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine in general and is not a promise of specific results. Acupuncture is intended to complement — not replace — care from your physician.

Founder · Registered TCM Practitioner & Registered Acupuncturist

Lu Gan founded Amrita Healthcare in 2022. She comes from a third-generation family of Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners and holds a master's degree in acupuncture from Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, where she was later named a distinguished alumna. She trained under Dr. Wei Liu. The clinic's name carries her own: "Amrita" is Sanskrit for divine nectar, and her Chinese name, 甘露 (Gan Lu), means the same thing. Her practice follows the principle of Yang Zheng — cultivating inner resilience rather than treating symptoms alone. Her work has been featured in People's Daily.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about your care and what to expect.

What does cupping feel like?

Gentle suction lifts the tissue — most people describe it as a firm pulling sensation, and many find it relieving on tight muscles.

Will it leave marks?

Often yes. Circular discoloration is common, isn't a bruise from injury, and typically fades within several days to a week. Tell us if you have an event coming up and we'll place the cups accordingly.

Is cupping safe?

In trained hands, yes. We review your health history first — cupping isn't appropriate for every skin condition or medication.

How is it usually used?

Most often as part of a session alongside acupuncture, particularly for muscular tension and recovery.
