She lectured on alternative medicine at Memorial University from 1993 to 1996.

The results from her post doctorial research as well as her personal history with TCM led Dr. Wang to pursue a license as a practitioner of Naturopathy & Acupuncture in 1994, and subsequently establish the Natural Healing Centre in 1995.

Also in 1993, Dr. Wang received a M.Sc. of Immunology from Memorial University. Currently, she is studying nutritional-immunology and natural nutrition. This science studies the health properties of foods. Unlike conventional nutrition which focuses on macronutrients and vitamins and minerals, Nutritional immunology believes that natural chemicals including phytochemicals (from plants), polysaacharids, and antioxidants, which are mainly found in plant foods, aid in the prevention and treatment of disease. Through Dr. Wang’s research and practice she has seen the improvement of hundreds of immuno-comprimized patients with diet change, and organic nutritional supplementation. In other words, we can use plant foods to support our immune system and in so doing help prevent many types of disease.

Due to the need for high quality and affordable products at the Natural Healing Centre, Dr. Wang founded Acta Herb Inc. in 1998 to research natural health products.  As the Chief Scientific Officer (CSO) and product consultant for Actaherb Inc.
