Lynda Smith – Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Looking to nature to help heal one's ailments is a lesson that Dr. Lynda Smith was taught at a very young age. Everything from relieving lung congestion with an onion and goose grease poultice to releasing toxins by wrapping up in layers to promote sweating were practiced in her family environment. Pursuing a career as a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine seemed like a natural fit. Dr. Smith is a Chinese medicine doctor and expert in acupuncture and the discipline of alternative health. Home remedy and Chinese food books are found in her home bookcase along with Gray's Anatomy and The Complete Medical Guide. Her thirst for knowledge and experience as a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine helps her patients to find safe alternatives for their health and wellness.
