Wodonga Chinese Medicine physician Dr James Liu has studied the technique since 2012 under a Chinese pioneer in the field, Professor Yong Qi.

Dr Liu gained clinical experience to treat eye and skin problems by navel acupuncture during four visits to China and during Professor Qi’s visit to the Border in December. 

“A well-skilled and trained navel acupuncturist can address lots of health disorders ranging from simple to severe conditions,” Dr Liu said.

Dr Liu has treated more than 1000 clients using the techniques.

“I specialise in eye, skin and immune system problems, such as retinopathy, dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, spotted vision, myopia, cataract, conjunctivitis, psoriasis, eczema and hives,” he said.

The trial will be held at the Huon Street clinic on February 25, March 4, 11 and 18. Bookings essential, phone (02) 6056 1345.
