Amba Has the Healing Touch
Amba has the healing touch. The combination of her skills is truly an experience like no other. Amba has something people can only be born with-the innate intuition of what needs working on and how to heal it. Coming from someone such as myself, those of us who have sought alternative health in all forms, know when this is someone to recommend highly to others. It is an experience like
no other.

I Felt Enlightened and On Top of the World
Dr. Amba Ann Dryg, DMQ is quite possibly one of the most intuitive and knowledgeable health practitioners I've ever met in my life. The psychological, physical and mental healing that she facilitated has transformed me.
She is not only an attentive and caring listener, she specifically tailored the treatment she gave to my personal needs, life circumstances and personal history. She cleared blocked energy that I had stuck in my abdomen and womb area, healing me of relationship addiction and delusion, and helping me let go of past traumatic experiences.
I felt enlightened and on top of the world each time I walked out of Amba's office, and she gave me practical exercises and tools to work with in between medical sessions. I truly thank Amba for helping me heal and to move forward with my life without anxiety, with a deeper knowledge of myself and an authority over my own decisions. S.C. Dayna Point, Ca

Instrumental in my Healing Journey
Dear Amba,
Thank you so much! I wish I had recorded our conversation, so much beautiful, inspiring, healing, and empowering wisdom you shared!
We've come so far and you've been instrumental in my healing journey.
You really help me to shift such deeply rooted emotional/mind patterns and belief systems in ways that are positively changing my whole life and reality.

From UCSF Hospital Room
Dr. Amba Dryg, Qigong Medicine Doctor, visited my daughter at University of California San Francisco. She was near death.
Dr. Dryg said that she would work to establish balance in my daughter's physical, mental, and emotional body to allow healing.
1 week after the session, my daughter was released from ICU. Four days after that she was walking. The staff at UCSF was amazed at my daughter's rapid improvement. I am so grateful to have met and experienced Dr. Dryg and witnessed this very powerful modality.

Healing PTSD and Depression
Working with Amba has improved my life, my health, and my well being tremendously. Having her support and guidance has helped me to make huge leaps on my healing journey. Since seeing her my depression has vastly decreased. The frequency of my PTSD has decreased. I have felt more stable and calm. I was able to overcome some financial difficulties. And best of all, I now have the strength to begin to make some major positive changes in my life that have been a long time coming. I highly recommend working with her. She has a wonderful blend of professionalism, compassion, intuition, and skill. May all beings on a healing path have someone like her in their corner!

Long Distance Healing
I so appreciate what Dr. Amba does for me. I had two very serious accidents resulting in concussions with the result that I was in bed for over a year with achingly painful headaches. Since Dr. Amba has been working on me, the headaches are no longer totally debilitating.
Dr. Amba is doing for me what no other medical personnel were able to do. She treats my whole body, asking the kinds of questions that will illuminate for her, and myself, the issues I'm facing. My life is very different now, after three months of working with her. She gives me exercises I can do between sessions to augment the healing. I'm grateful for her knowledge, her search for better ways to help me, her compassion, and her willingness to be available should I need her.

Reducing Stress and Pain
(After four long distance sessions ) I have almost no headaches. It's quite a difference. I do believe that your work on the headaches has been successful. That is an amazing feat! I would like to understand more about what you do, and how you came to do it. You've had a huge effect on the path of my healing.

I Feel Lighter
(After one of six long-distance sessions) Thank you again so much!
I feel so much lighter, integrated, relaxed, and in my power.
The first thing I noticed was my left hip twitching a bit, and then my left side began to feel more open. Then I could really feel my left foot opening and having energy run through it. Then I felt my heart open. I kind of lost track, then the next thing I remember is feeling sensation in my root, and feeling my root chakra clearing and opening. And towards what I think was the end I felt my throat chakra opening, energy coming up and out of it, and I coughed a bit.
It was really powerful to have you do that inquiry with me.

Medical Qigong Therapy
Medical Qigong Can Help Rooted in Traditional Chinese medicine, Medical Qigong is a beautiful and powerful healing modality which allows people to release deep energetic blockages which may be preventing a complete healing from taking place. Especially great for those whose condition is idiopathic or of unknown origin, medical qigong eliminates the roots of imbalances by addressing the energetic and emotional matrix that underlie them. Always after a session clients will have Qigong exercises and meditations to do at home which are absolutely essential to the healing process. Who can benefit from MQ? Anyone with any health or mental health issue. Common issues MQ helps clients with are insomnia, stress reduction, PTSD, headaches, pain, cancer, strokes, diabetes, digestion issues, grief, anger, worry, anxiety, panic attacks, life clarity, fear and loneliness. Any reason you would go to a western medicine practitioner for MQ can be used as an integrative modality or as an alternative. What is Medical Qigong Therapy? Medical Qigong therapy is the energetic foundation of Chinese medicine. It addresses the root cause of disharmony within a person, while working with them as a whole. Medical Qigong Therapy along with prescriptions homework meditations or exercises combine the use of breath work with individual physical movements and mental intention. The goal of MQ is to correct the electromagnetic imbalances enabling the body to strengthen and regulate the internal organs, the nervous system, and the immune system, relieve pain, regulate hormones, strengthen and purge deepseated emotions and stress. MQ offers clients a safe and effective way to help rid themselves of many years of electromagnetic disruptions in this body caused by injuries, surgery, chemical and environmental influences, emotional changes and aging. Medical Qigong Therapy is useful for helping patients before, during and after surgery. Qi emission helps reduce the patient’s bleeding, enhance the immune system, minimize the risk of infection, strengthen the body, and accelerate the recovery rate. Medical qigong modalities are involved in the following aspects of operative therapy: preoperative therapy, surgery, postoperative therapy, followup therapies and remedial prescriptions in the form of seated or moving meditations or exercises with focused visualizations. Many clients prefer long distance sessions and can be anywhere in the world for the conversation and the Medical Qigong Qi Emission. (see External Qigong below) Medical Qigong Therapy can be divided into two methods of application: Internal Qigong or Self Guided and External Qigong or Qi emission with Doctor of Medical Qigong

What is Cupping?
Cupping is the use of a suction cup applied to the skin. Use of small glass jars with a flaming cotton ball placed in the cup, then removed, and the cup is placed on the skin. The heat removes the oxygen within the cup and seals against the body causing a vacuum to occur. This method is quite effective in promoting blood circulation, relieving inflammation and softening muscles and connective tissue. When the cups are removed there will be some marks that will range from redness on the skin to an almost bruise-like marking. This will disappear on its own in 1-5 days.

Meditations and Exercises
Prescription Meditations and Exercises are the homework clients receive to help them achieve optimal health results. Some of the meditations can be for sitting or moving mediations or exercises. Some homework will include journaling which should always be done with a wooden pencil. Some homework will include affirmations or work looking into a mirror as one says affirmations. There can be various kinds of homework for a client that can take 5 minutes a day to 30 minutes a day broken into 3 times a day for example, depending on the clients condition or situation.
Many medications and exercises can be done for general health and some have contraindications.

KAN LI MEDITATION
Kan & Li Meditation is an important spiritual and physically effective health meditation practice. Kan and Li is about a unity of pure elements of fire and water, a unity of true Yin and Yang both within ourselves and in the universe. This helps create bone density so it is particularly helpful for those of us getting older as we lose bone density. It also helps focus and helps the brain stay organized, less confused, helps students retain information, and generally helps the mind stay clear. It also aids the heart remember how to feel joy and the kidneys maintain our self confidence and wisdom. Any time a person has surgery on broken or injured bones or joints- or any issues with pain in these areas— it is important to do this meditation as often as possible. In Chinese medicine it is said to help the communication between the Heart and the Kidneys which are the fire and water elements. There are many advantages to this meditation and is good for those with Liver Qi Stagnation which is one of the most common disharmonies in American society. There is too much to say about the good that comes from this meditation and why one should do it. I have made it very simple on this page. It can be more complex. Try to do at least 3 times a day for 3 to 20 minutes depending on how well you can focus. It gets easier as you do it more. And can be done in public or at home sitting, standing or laying down.
