I have been going to Kunde Institute for two sessions of accupuncture within two months. I went to improve my immune system. My energy is better and my digestion has improved. It is hard to gage if my immune system is doing better or not but I feel stronger. The staff and practitioners are very nice and always helpful. read more

I just quit my job and really needed a reset and wanted to find ways to heal and ground myself. I booked a massage with Tessa and immediately I felt understood and grounded. She was very quickly and easily able to understand my needs and was also able to identify ways to address my stressors energetically as well. I honestly never had a massage like the one I had with her and I left speechless (in a great way!) I was glowing and I felt so much tension lifting off of me. I truly want to come on a regular basis because I'm just amazed at how good I felt leaving. Plus the front office staff was absolutely lovely and made the experience very straight forward. Highly recommend! read more

Kunde Institute - Best pain oil - Acupuncture Near Me - Daly City, California

Below are my reviews for private sessions with Dr. Yangdron Kalzang since 2024 and community acupuncture I had in 2023: Dr. Kalzang is the only Tibetan and Chinese Medicine doctor I know of in the USA from Tibet! Dr. Kalzang gently and intuitively healed at least one issue per session that wouldn't budge despite visits to many practitioners several times within months: an osteopath doctor, physical therapist, herbalist, acupuncturists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and energyworkers. Dr. Kalzang generously shared her time, herbs, and techniques. My first session was one of the most holistic sessions I've experienced. It used all my five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, and voice, and was unlike any healing session I had before. It was like healings I read about where the practitioner combines acupuncture, cupping, warm oil, herbs, color, and incense therapy, and Buddhist mantras. I appreciated that she gave me optional Buddhist mantras I could say to bless the herbs before I eat them. I also appreciated that she explained the main difference between Tibetan and Chinese Medicine. She spoke at retreats with a famous author of Tibetan dream yoga. She was also very thoughtful because she put acupressure seeds in my ear because it's hard for me to trek to her often. Another time, she cupped me exactly where my body showed I needed it and sent me off into the world with a sticker with a little needle in spots where I could feel them working. Here are some other Tibetan medicine modalities I experienced as described on her website: Sang-bom Therapy: Copper cupping releases more tension and stress of emotional and mental imbalances, and the glass cupping works better with acute pain and chronic muscular and skeletal pain as well as the treatment of other cold syndromes. Hor-mey therapy (): Herbal wraps are soaked in heated oil, then applied to special points on the body. Hor-mey works to balance our wind-element energy, known as "Loong" (). It helps boost the immune system, combats insomnia and increases the quality of sleep, including: stress, anxiety, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, "monkey" mind, floating sensations, depression, PTSD, ADD, ADHD, women's health issues (menstrual problems, pregnancy, and menopause). ------------------------ My 2023 review: I'm grateful for Brett Ray's new, affordable, community acupuncture ($200/4 sessions a month, I think). Brett was very: 1. Generous with his time. 2. Understanding of my unusual situation. It seemed I really needed acupuncture where he put needles in me because I felt strong sensations after he put needles in certain places. 3. Effective and provided immediate relief that I wasn't able to achieve despite being five weeks into a self help/energy medicine class that left me exhausted and too open to the spiritual realm. So for the first time in five weeks, I slept through the night without fear and woke up early refreshed. read more

First of all I am thankful that Dr. Kalzang introduced Kunde in our Community in Daly City. I be hearing this intriguing name Kunde and I finally found my healing's place. I am so thankful that I found the true meaning of what Myofascial therapy it is when Dr. K introduces us to Tessa. She has healing touches that rejuvenates and energizes my sleepy, tired fascia and sluggish nerve endings. I'm so grateful that they provided us professional therapists and The Kunde Institute.Kunde has a top notch therapist and accommodating staff. I recommended Tessa and Kunde to my family and to everyone!!! read more

Dr Kalzang provided great treatment for my peripheral neuropathy in my feet that after my treatment I was able to walk without my cane for several hours. I was also experiencing so much anxiety & lack of sleep before seeing her & managed to treat that issue with acupuncture & provided herbal tea bags to consume at night. She was so supportive, comforting & listened to my health concerns. Thank you for helping me feel better. read more

I highly recommend Kunde Institute for acupuncture and massage therapy. This place gave me relaxation and pain relief. After just a few sessions of acupuncture, I am feeling so much better. Now, I am being treated for massage therapy, Tessa is wonderful she has a soft touch, the massage relaxes my body and gives me so much energy, I am able to sleep better. Dr Kalzhang and her staff are professional, this is an excellent place to get treatment for pain. read more

Dr Kalzang reached out to me and I got my money returned today after 8 years and she apologized at the same time. My review was/is purely about her billing department organization and has/had nothing to do with healing offered in her space. read more

First time able to sleep 6 hours straight without waking up or tossing and turning since the accident. If you need a good acupuncturist that do needles and cupping. She is it. Thank you very much read more

My father who is survivor of cancer 10+ yrs in remission has received treatment here and he continously says how much better he feels. He says that the provider treats him with respect and deeply understands his special/unique needs. By my observation my father is very pleased with his treatments. He asked me, his daughter, to write because he didn't have a yelp and wanted to make sure that folks know that this is the place to go! read more

Kunde Clinic is a hidden gem in the Bay Area! Below is my note of thanks to the incredible staff at the clinic after that first unforgettable visit! I cannot wait to go back! Dear Doctor Kalzang, I am not the same woman who walked into your clinic yesterday and I thank God for it. Doctor, you give a whole new meaning to patient care and with the support of your very professional and very kind staff, you have a one-of-a-kind a kind healing sanctuary!

Kunde has a *fantastic* new acupuncturist Dr. Brett Ray! He has the kindest hands and my back pain went from 8/10 to a 2/10 in two treatments! An excellent addition to the Kunde family! read more

I have to write a second awesome review! My daughter had a painful UTI and on the first day of her symptoms I took her to urgent care and they prescribed her AZO and antibiotics. Two days later she still had the same symptoms and the nurse calls and says to stop giving the antibiotics cus it wouldn't work for her and to just wait it out for 7 days. 7 days of suffering? I think not. Thankfully I never gave her the antibiotics in fear of that outcome. My daughter is a current patient of Dr. Kalzang and she was the one who told me to reach out to her in her. Dr. Kalzang gave me two herbs for her to take and in just 3 HOURS all her symptoms went away! We sent her off with her herbs to a week long teen camp trip in relief cus we knew she wasn't suffering. THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. KALZANG! Another miracle made in our family from Kunde Institute!! read more

Words can't express my gratitude for and relief in finding Dr. Kalzang. I have been dealing with gut issues for the past 5 years. Two years ago I had major hair loss. I went to my PCP and they ran tests and couldn't find anything abnormal. The hair loss came back with a vengeance this year alongside other troubling symptoms. They ran tests again and referred me to a dermatologist, who essentially said he didn't know because everything was normal on the lab report. When I went to Dr. Kalzang she immediately took me seriously, did not diminish the hair loss and compassionately asked for my own assessment of my health, something Western physicians undervalue, deferring to labs reports over a patient's introspection. She immediately diagnosed that I was anemic based on my symptoms and pulse and within two weeks my hair loss reduced by half! My PCP had told me to reduce food intake to one meal a day to curb cholesterol. She told me that my conditions were connected and I actually needed to eat three meals a day. If she had not helped me I would be seriously ill. She also asked me questions about my sleep, diet and emotions. These are all interrelated and largely downplayed by Western medicine, which doesn't look at health from a systems approach. The herbs she gave me impacted not just the hair loss but also helped me sleep and also improve my gut issues, no more bloating and gas! I highly recommend Dr. Kalzang and Tibetan medicine in general. Western medicine is great for some things, but for issues that are systemic, they are too reliant on data and what they can bill, despite seeing a sick patient and acknowledging something's wrong. These tests are also not sensitive. I would have had to have serious issues with iron deficiency before they would have figured it out. In this way, Tibetan medicine far surpasses Western medicine as it can pick up issues faster. Dr. Kalzang gave me hope for the first time! Still ongoing issues but hopeful the diet changes, treatments and herbs will cure this altogether. read more

The Facebook live broadcast yesterday March 30th, 2020 was quite helpful. It covered many topics in a 30-minute span. It covered medical, emotional as well as some practical things we can do, like keep moving. Even a 1-minute meditation these days can be tricky and when Dr. Kalzang invited us to try it, it was quite nice. It led me into further meditation and physical exercise after the presentation was completed. I am looking forward to attending this Live event on Thursday https://www.facebook.com/kundewellness/posts/3662128093829184 for more tips. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Yangdron Kalzang's for many years. She is a gifted healer. Just recently she treated me for a bout of vertigo. Vertigo is awful and very debilitating condition. It took two treatments and it finally is gone after 2 months of dizziness. Dr. Kalzang really listens to her patients; is kind, careful, thoughtful -- and her treatments work. She also has a great staff: Lisa, Lauren, Sarah, Robbie. Everyone takes care of the patients with kindness and consideration which is the Tibetan way. Kunde Institute is truly a healing center and highly recommended. read more

I just want to say Dr. Yangdron save my life! She is one the TOP- Best Doctor I had the blessings to meet and to heal with acupuncture, Tibetan herbs and my favor​ Hormei​ oil treatments. She is caring and kind and a human person who loves what she does, cure humanity of suffering and direct us to understand out body-mind-spirit. I had a beginning of a kidney failure and in 3 months my symptoms were 85% cured. Now all symptoms are in control. Also, her staff is the most caring and loving people! I highly recommend Dr. Yangdran and her network of Tibetan Doctors Thank You MEMPA YANGDRON :)) read more

Dr. Kalzang is just amazing. I had been dealing with severe vertigo and had gone to see a variety of doctors and all kinds of exams, blood work, etc and no one could figure out why all of a sudden I had severe vertigo. After several repeat treatments of Accupunture, massage, oils and herbs I am well enough to go back to work. Dr. Kalzang is pleasant and kind and you can see that she truly cares about you and wants to heal you. Just recently I woke up one day and couldn't hear out of my ear and panicked. I saw her the next day and after some accupunture and massage my hearing returned on the spot. It truly was amazing and cannot thank her enough for her healing hands! read more

Kunde Institute is great. I was having neck, arm and shoulder Problems and after no improvements from my primary doctor and the chiropractor, decided to try acupuncture. After one visit with Dr. Kalzang my pain started going away. I have since had several visits and am feeling great. Definitely recommend the Kunde Institute. read more

All of them are so accommodating and caring thanks to everyone to make my first time of this acupuncture procedure so great!!!!

Umm- wow, just wow. First relief I've had for my (very) chronic migraines/headaches, and I have tried a number of things. She is super helpful to talk to about health concerns. Will be coming here regularly. A find! I discovered her because she accepts my insurance. (Always check with a medical office beforehand because many places that once accepted insurance no longer do, and insurance companies just don't always remove their names from the list even with multiple requests.) Bring a checkbook or cash. I never realized these medical offices were hidden up here (3rd floor), so close to my cobbler (shoe repair) and tailor, and all the other stores... read more

Dr. Kalzang gave me a wonderful acupuncture and cupping treatment after suffering with migraines for years. She was able to alleviate my migraine after the first treatment. Highly recommend read more

I am so grateful to Dr. Kalzang for restoring my health. I had felt like a "medical mystery" with weight loss and insomnia. Expecting a thyroid disorder or worse, I went to my primary care doctor who did thorough blood work looking for possible causes. The blood work only showed that I was very healthy! But I wasn't and I was desperate for help, suffering what felt like sleep deprivation. Fortunately a friend recommend Kunde Wellness. Dr. Kalzang's warm caring demeanor immediately put me at ease. Her healing approach includes acupuncture, herbs, warm oil treatment and cupping, as well as dietary and lifestyle recommendations... all aimed to bring the body back to a state of health and balance. The treatments are so gentle and relaxing, it's comforting to be there, very deeply restful and healing. I had immediate relief from the insomnia and have gained back the lost weight. I feel so much better, even things I didn't associate with my problem have improved: digestion, arthritis, minor muscle spasms. I've gone four times over two months, she adjusts the herbs and treatments as my strength returns. Thank you Dr. Kalzang and Kunde Wellness, I feel like you saved my life! read more

I broke my foot in 2 places last summer and the orthopedist said it would take 12-16 weeks to heal. I saw Dr. Kalzang for bi-weekly acupuncture treatments with e-stim and took the Tibetan herbs she prescribed for me. When I went back to see the orthopedist after 8 weeks for an xray, he was amazed to find that the 2 fractures were completely healed in half the usual time! He couldn't believe it and asked what my "secret" was - I told him Dr. Kalzang and Tibetan medicine. read more

Yangdron Kalzang is a kind, gentle-woman with great skills in relieving and understanding the discord in my body.

This is my happy place. Dr Yangdron cares and will even use baby needles upon request. And she is really into educating about healing. Highly recommended. read more

This place is great. I am so happy I found it when I did. I suffer from pain from a car accident, and eczema. Dr. Yangdron takes great care of you. She listens and is very gentle. She walks you through what she will be doing and educates you on the process. I feel very comfortable with her. She did a sequence for eczema on my last visit, and the next day my trouble spots were soo much better. She is truly a healer. My back is in such better shape after seeing her since October of 2017. The acupuncture, the hot oil and cupping worked wonders for me. Thank you Yangdron! read more

A world apart from the us healthcare system. A world where the human being really matters more than his wallet or his insurance coverage. Dr Yangdron Kalzang do everything to improve your life with her traditional Tibetan Medecine. I can only recommand this place. read more

I found Kunde Institute by accident as they are located in the same building as LabCorp. This is definitely the best find for acupuncture and Dr. Kalzang and her staff are the greatest. After going through PT and a cortisone shot by my orthopedic doctor, I wanted to try an alternative method to relieve arthritic joint pain in both knees and left hip. Following the first acupuncture treatment along with the Tibetan warm oil massage, I had noticeable pain relief and easier mobility in the arthritic joints. I have had subsequent acupuncture sessions which have contributed to becoming pain free with the ability for unrestricted movement. When Dr. Kalzang places the needles in different areas on my body, I can't even feel the needles penetrating the skin. I highly recommend Kunde Institute to help remedy joint pain and for mobility needs using the combination of acupuncture and the Tibetan "pain relief" medicinal massage oil. read more

Dr Kalsang is wonderful. I took medications for bipolar disorder for 15 years, but now see her for acupuncture and herbal supplements and feel healthier and happier than ever. She is caring and compassionate, skilled in Eastern medicine, listens to my concerns and has been 100% helpful! read more

During the first trimester of my pregnancy, I was plagued with chronic headaches, tension in my neck and shoulders, and severe constipation. My OB advised me to take over-the-counter pain pills and other synthetic medicines for relief. I felt uncomfortable taking chances with my baby's well being (it was suggested I ingest a concoction of pills every 4-6 hours 7 days a week for what could be months--yikes!) I began looking for a natural and holistic remedy. A prenatal masseuse recommended Dr. Kalzang. Dr. Kalzang quickly became one of my important caregivers throughout my pregnancy. In addition to the care I received from my OB, Dr. Kalzang provided the holistic remedies I could trust. Luckily, I began seeing her in the early months. As my pregnancy progressed, so did the pain and discomfort throughout my body. Dr. Kalzang was able to provide continued trust-worthy relief for my pregnant aches and pains with dietary modification recommendations, massage, and acupuncture. She even provided me with massage oil my husband and I used to ease the pains during labor! I definitely recommend Dr. Kalzang's healing therapies for anyone woman who is pregnant and who plans to become pregnant. read more

I deal with a lot of pain due to chronic disease. Yangdron has helped manage my pain. It's hard to find an acupuncturist that works for me & she had help me a whole lot.. read more

Two separate friends recommended Dr. Kalzang and so I decided to visit her. I am so glad I did! The traditional Tibetan Hor-mey medicinal hot oil treatment is not only deeply relaxing and soothing, has over time relieved my original symptoms of dryness and fatigue. The Tibetan paradigm describes clusters of symptoms holistically, which has helped me know how to create a home practice of self-care including sleep and diet through Dr. Kalzang's recommendations. She is so personable and generous with her time; she listens to and remembers her patients, and has a very immediate and easy warmth. I have had Chinese acupuncture treatments series in the past, and this has proven more effective and more deeply nourishing, both because of the techniques and Dr. Kalzang's care. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. Kalzang is amazing. I came to her because I can't lift my left arm. First time treatment, I can raise my left arm. After the second treatment, I can go to gym again and do my routine. She is the best acupuncturist that I ever known, very caring doctor and listen to your problem. And she has a nice smile too. read more

I moved down to the SouthBay so I stopped coming up to TWHC for about a year. My heartburn issue got a lot worse--to the point where I started taking PPIs. They're pretty strong and have a weird effect on my digestive system that I don't like. So I started making the trek up to Daly City once a month for treatment at TWHC. Symptoms have subsided again and I'm feeling healthy. Genuinely healthy. I don't know how or why, but her prescribed combination of medicinal herbs and stress reduction therapy has really improved my well being. I wish that Dr. Kalzang's clinic could be located closer to me! read more
