From the reviews
Amazing Results! I am based in Texas, but consulted with Dr. Dao through Tele/video sessions. The natural herbs, he prescribed along with the sleep and exercise regimen recommended produced stellar results. Highly recommend Dr.
As a physician, I can attest to the extraordinary care given at the Tao of Wellness. Dr Mao is an exceptional clinician and healer and has surrounded himself with a top notch staff and clinical colleagues that go the extra mile to make all patients feel good about the care that they receive.
Dr. Mao and the Tao of Wellness team deserve more than five stars! Their expertise and genuine care have been a game-changer for my health. Dr. Mao's knowledge is unmatched, and the entire staff radiates warmth and support. Grateful to have found such an exceptional healthcare experience. Thank you all so much.
I am a patient of Dr. Mao since twenty years. The unique care, wisdom and knowledge of the treatment brings me the faith and discipline in a journey of healing. After only two weeks taking the herbs make me feel already better and stronger.
What to expect from your first cupping session
New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.
