Acupuncture uses hair-thin, single-use, sterile needles to stimulate specific anatomical points on the body. Needling is usually painless, occasionally the patient may feel a slight stinging or distending sensation. Acupuncture is proven to have an effect on Pain Control (many types), Allergic rhinitis, Depression, Nausea and vomiting (including morning sickness), High Blood Pressure, Stroke, Induction of Labor, Leukopenia, Fetal malposition, Dysentary, Bell’s palsy, Cancer pain, etc. Generally, needles are left in place for 15 to 30 minutes. |
 |
Electro-acupuncture is the application of a pulsating electrical current to acupuncture needles as a means of stimulating the acupoints. It is particularly relied upon for treatment of pain, flaccidity syndromes, paralysis due to stroke, and facial paralysis of various causes. These disorders often require extensive manipulation of the needles, for which electro-acupuncture serves as a useful substitute. |
 |
Chinese herbal formulas use natural materials from plants, animals, and minerals to treat all nature of diseases. Chinese formulas are generally customized to treat each individual patient’s constellation of health concerns. The pharmacy at DULA offers over 700 different herbs that can be made into teas, powdered formulas, and tablets. While herbs are a potent therapy, they exhibit few of side effects commonly found in Western pharmaceuticals. |
 |
Heat might be prescribed to improve blood circulation, the most common being Moxibustion. “Moxa” is made from the dried mugwort herb. Rolled and lit (“burning”), it can be applied indirectly either to the handle of the needle or rotated gently over the skin to apply heat. |
 |
Cupping uses localized suction to draw up tissues, bringing blood to the localized area. By doing so, cupping opens up the circulatory and lymphatic systems, improving qi and blood flow to relieve sore muscles, tension, neck, shoulder and back pain. |
 |
A form of Oriental Massage therapy designed to treat disease and injuries and relieve pain by removing tension and stimulating blood circulation. |
Testimonials
Neal, Los Angeles
Right after the Acupuncture treatment, I had immediate relief from my anxiety and panic attack. It felt so comfortable and it felt like I was in the middle of Meditation. Then I just realized that the neck tension I was having for a long time has been relieved. First, I was afraid of needles before I receive the treatment, but It didn’t feel much and it was not painful at all. It was extraordinary experience and I am more than satisfied.

Why do I drive for 45 minutes to DULA for an acupuncture treatment when I can go to another that is a ten- minute drive from my home? This school has a shining spiritual atmosphere in its entirety, including the top quality of the interns who come from far and wide to study here, and the teachers who can add years to our survival. This school enhances body, mind, and spirit.
