"You can find it easily in around 100 clinics here, or even more," he said.

There are four reasons people come for treatment, he said: they didn't receive effective Western medical treatment, they are afraid of the side effects of Western medicine, their disease was not identified, or their disease is untreatable.

Besides treating people with Chinese acupuncture, Dainius also thinks about the future of traditional Chinese medicine.

"About traditional Chinese medicine, the best time is the past. Nowadays, it lacks development. Those books written thousands of years ago are already very deep and good," he said.

"In the future, I think there are several steps to promote traditional Chinese medicine abroad," he said.

"The first is using Western scientific approaches, the second is letting people know more about traditional Chinese medicine, and the third is letting people know more about Chinese culture," Dainius said.

"Only when people know enough about Chinese culture and history, etc. will they better understand traditional Chinese medicine," he continued. "It has a history of thousands of years. It can offer a lot to people nowadays. It nourishes life, and it prevents diseases."

About the future of his clinic, Dainius said candidly that he didn't plan to make it bigger.

"I want to focus on improving my skills and provide better services to patients," he said.

"Patients are my teachers. Their questions and problems always make me keep on acquiring more knowledge," he continued.
