Due to the current deep uncertainty we all face with the unfolding coronavirus situation, and to protect your health and safety, Yong Kang Clinic will be closed until at least the first of April. 

I am available for phone and computer consultations for herbs or other health consulting as we together go through this most extraordinary time. Please call the clinic to arrange a time for a consultation or if you need a refill of herbs.

You already know to frequently wash your hands. I would encourage you to do a few other things as well to keep yourself and loved ones safe. First, leave your shoes at the door. This is a long time custom through Asia, and one that we should now adapt as well. You don't have to go barefoot, some nice house slippers or shoes are fine. Just don't be tracking dirt and viruses from the outside into your living space. 

Second, and in some ways this may be most important, find a way to bring some gentle curiosity to our current situation. Notice how in the shortages at stores and in your fears about if you will have enough that all this arises from the truth that we are all vastly and completely interdependent on one another. We are not alone in our suffering or fear; all of us can recognize a certain kinship in that regardless of belief or perspective we are more alike than different in this moment of time.

Do what you can to gently care for yourself and those around you.

The seemingly small comforts of life, they are not small.
They are the stepping-stones from one moment to the next.
They are how we move with a sense of connected stability through times of uncertainty and fear.

Please reach out if you need assistance.
