NICE TO MEET YOU
Hi, I'm Dagmar Ehling
I have been a licensed Doctor of Oriental Medicine in New Mexico for 33 years. I graduated with a Master’s degree in Acupuncture from Southwest Acupuncture College in Santa Fe, NM, am North Carolina State licensed, and I am nationally certified in Oriental Medicine by the NCCAOM (National Certification Commission for Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine). In 1994, my book The Chinese Herbalist’s Handbook was published; I am the author of several articles. In 2004, I co-founded Oriental Health Solutions, now called Meridian Health Solutions in Durham, NC.
For many years, I was a faculty member at the International Institute of Chinese Medicine, served as a New Mexico State License examiner, and on the NCCAOM Exam Development Committee for the national Chinese herbal certification exam. I am a former fellow and exam chair of the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM), and a certified GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) practitioner. I studied functional medicine with Datis Kharrazian, PhD since 2008 and was one of the first acupuncturists credentialed at Duke Integrative Medicine. I taught Chinese herbal medicine and nutrition to physicians in Germany and Italy for a decade, and lecture nationally, internationally, and online.
My patients experience results for women’s health issues, internal medical problems, metabolic disorders, respiratory, auto-immune and hormonal imbalances, and my cancer patients have fewer side-effects from their conventional treatments. I offer online lifestyle coaching using dietary recommendations, supplements, homeopathy, and Dr. Schüssler's trace mineral salts.
The food you pointed out to me was killing me! I feel so much better having eliminated it. My joints are all lubricated, not sticky and cranky. Stomach pains completely gone – no gas and bloating – a miracle! I had to see my internist yesterday, and I have lost 5 lbs since April and my blood pressure, which was 130/74 then is now 100/72 (could that be related??). Thanks!!
