Testimonials
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.

Acupuncture:
Acupuncture uses hair-thin sterile needles to stimulate specific anatomical points on the body. Needling acts to restore the smooth flow of ‘Qi’ (Pronounced ‘Chee’) in the Meridians. Acupuncture is usually pain free. Occasionally the patient may feel a slight stinging or distending sensation. Generally, needles are left in place for 15 to 30 minutes.
Herbal Medicines:
Based on natural, botanical, animal and mineral substance combined into hundreds of specific formulas, or prescriptions. While most prescriptions are made from about 400 major herbs, the pharmacy at DULA contains over 700 varieties. Herbal medicines are targeted to the specific needs of each patient and can be delivered in the form of teas, powders and tablets. While herbs are a potent therapy, they exhibit few of side effects commonly found in Western pharmaceutical DULA.
Tuina:
A form of Oriental Massage therapy designed to treat disease and injuries and relieve pain by removing tension and stimulating blood circulation.
Moxibustion:
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:
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.
There is an extra charge if additional modalities (cupping, electroacupuncture, etc.) are needed.
