I was experiencing more stress than usual affecting my sleep and over concern. I was amazed how my Relief was immediate after my treatment with Dr. Kalzang. I feel more calm and have a different perspective. I have always trusted the Tibetan medical system and acupuncture.  Dr. Kalzang truly understood my dilemma, I feel very blessed and grateful for her healing knowledge. Her new office is peaceful and her staff very caring. A sacred space to breath in our busy Bay Area.”

Janet J. Pacifica, California
Condition: Insomnia

I originally went to see Dr. Yangron Kalzang after being diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma. I also have a number of chronic conditions that at times flare up and cause complications. I told her about my other problems; Hepatitis C, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Symptoms of these conditions included soreness in my legs and pain in my right side, due to liver inflammation. My liver enzymes were elevated 110 points over normal. I was experiencing poor circulation in my extremities and fatigue, and pain in below the liver and gall bladder area, and under the armpit. Western Medicine could only due so much in terms of treating my condition. 

        I have seen other health practitioners and they helped somewhat, however after being treated by Dr. Kalzang I’ve experienced much improvement. She has treated me once a month for a year. I received Tibetan herbal formula, (which to be honest I did not take religiously), and precious pills to improve my liver and gladder function, acupuncture, massage. She counseled me on lifestyle changes with regards to my diet, exercise and rest. 

        After the first 3 months my liver enzymes dropped 80 points, the pain subsided in my side and legs, and much of my energy returned, improving my overall outlook and attitude. The Lymphoma has been stable with no new growth. I do not need to see my oncologist or other doctors as often. They no longer recommend that I get a CT scan as often as before. They have stated that 'You’re doing something right. Whatever it is keep doing it. I agree.”

Condition: Lymphoma

Dr. Yangdron Kalzang has been my Tibetan physician for over two years. I first went to her because of chronic prostatitis. Western hormonal medications gave me unpleasant side effects which forced me to discontinue their usage. The Tibetan herbs I receive have led to a tremendous improvement in my condition. At the start of treatment, my prostate was roughly 3 times normal size for my age and inflamed producing intensely uncomfortable symptoms. They consisted of frequent urination, needing to urinate multiple times in the night, and sometimes severe pelvic pain. 

Today my prostate is only slightly above normal sized, pelvic pain has been eliminated, and I very rarely have to get up at night to urinate. I had been strongly considering surgery prior to working with Dr. Yangdron, but now have a condition that is well managed where I am comfortable. My improvement has been a night and day experience for the positive which I recommend for anyone with a similar condition. As a side note, since beginning treatment for prostatitis my asthma, allergies, and low back pain have been greatly diminished as she strengthened my kidneys with Tibetan herbs.”

Condition: Chronic Prostatitis, Asthma, Allergy, and Lower Back Pain

I was diagnosed of Multiple Sclerosis nine years ago. Since then, Dr. Yangdron Kalzang has helped me immensely. Not only has the MS not advanced, but my symptoms have nearly all disappeared -- all without any Western-style treatment. Along the way, Dr. Yangdron has helped me with various other health problems, including an irregular heartbeats duo to stress that my Western doctors missed. I especially appreciate the ample time that she spends during each appointment to carefully discuss symptoms and treatments. 

My husband, daughter and I have been seeing Dr. Kalzang for nearly 5 years for a variety of large and small ailments, and we all agree that Dr. Kalzang is the most caring and knowledgeable physician we have known. She listens patiently and carefully, and applies her years of experience to every diagnosis and treatment. Treatments include giving advice for diet and nutrition and life style according our individual constitution through Tibetan Medicine, using safe herbs and patented Tibetan herbal medicines, and applying her Tibetan massage as well as acupuncture. My favorite treatment is her Tibetan healing massage for sore muscles and joints. Dr. Kalzang is generous with her time at each visit, and she is certainly the most cheerful and energetic doctor we know.”

Condition: Multiple Sclerosis - allergic rashes and sinusitis, muscle and joint pain, insomnia, frequent urination

During a round of golf, I heard a snap in my right shoulder. My shoulder was in pain for a couple of weeks, and a cortisone shot didn't help. To my friend's recommendation, I went to see Dr.Yangdron Kalzang at the Tibetan Wellness & Healing Center. Dr.Yangdron Kalzang worked on my shoulder for about 8 weeks integrating with Tibetan therapeutic massage and acupuncture. The combination helped relieve the tension in my shoulder and the constant numbing pain. Yangdron also recommended I review my lifestyle to understand where the pain may be coming from since it would go away when I was off of work. To her recommendation, I reorganized my office space. The shuffling reduced my right shoulder movement, and helped heal my shoulder.”

Condition: Shoulder pain

I used to see acupuncture as a last resort in the healing process. But I have seen it work so consistently that I now see if as the first step in my wellness program. 
​
For several years I have seen Dr.Yangdron Kalzang, Tibetan Doctor and Acupuncturist for treatments - she is an exceptional diagnostician and has a healing touch. She has relieved my lower back pain, reduced asthma symptoms, fixed a painful knuckle (from too much computer work), and soothed some redness and swelling on my toes. 

I am especially fond of the turmeric Tibetan massage (Tsa Chug) and the mugwort herbal incense (Moxa) that sometimes accompanies my treatments.I highly recommend Tibetan Health & Wellness Center as a first-line approach to superb health and healing.”

​Pat W. San Francisco, California 
Condition: Asthma, Lower Back Pain and Knuckle Pain

I could not be more grateful to have the services of Dr. Kalzang. Already a lifelong scoliosis and backache recipient, I began suffering upper back pain for a couple of months, during the time of which sleeping and sitting/driving were very uncomfortable. 

I was seeing a Physician(MD) at the time, but the muscle relaxers and valium were not helping. Through a combination of Tibetan therapeutic massage, cup/bowl work, acupuncture, and Tibetan herbal formulas, I was back functioning(working consistently, sleeping, reading, sitting down, playing music) in 6 weeks. It was a gradual process where I had mostly cupping work in the beginning until I was conditioned for the acupuncture, and once the acupuncture came into play, the problem was completely resolved in a few sessions. 

What I really appreciated about Dr. Kalzang's practice is the proactive nature of the treatment, where we were addressing and physically lessening the pain each week until it was gone; before I had been taking pills and waiting, wondering, not sleeping, getting irritable, etc.It has been a couple of months since my treatment and I am sleeping better than I did before my upper back pain. Thank you Tibetan Wellness & Health Center!”

Condition: Spinal Scoliosis

My name is Mary J. and I suffered from spinal injuries that led to post traumatic stress disorder. During childhood and adult life, I had four serious back injuries that were treated in natural ways without surgery. The treatments of massage therapy, chiropractic, Chinese medicine and finally Tibetan medicine, slowly healed these conditions. 

In 2006, I suffered a nervous breakdown that forced me to take medical leave from my job for five months. I honestly attribute the success of my treatments with Dr. Yangdron Kalzang in helping me return to work and mental stability. She used different methods for treating this anxiety disorder including, Tibetan diet and nutrition guideline, acupuncture, Tibetan Hot Oil Therapy ( Hormey), oral Tibetan herbal treatments with precious pills in regular sequence. I noticed after a couple treatments the great improvement in my physical, mental and emotional well being. I can highly recommend Tibetan Medicine for anyone suffering from anxiety. Presently, I am doing very well. Though, I use herbs with heated sesame oil on the pressure points as needed. As well, I stretch, hike, meditate and practice breathing relaxation techniques.”
