The first month was more then enough, to actually know that acupuncture was playing a crucial role on my rehabilitation to control my anxiety and compulsive disorders, also it was making my depression fade away. Later i found out that acupuncture derived from the Chinese medicine , and that also expensive to make this type of appointments anywhere else, prices would go from $80-$200, Fortunately, I found this free service that provided to the community acupuncture to all. One year has passed by, and i been feeling good. Its addicting because you just feel better every time and you can feel it in your own body. This saved my life, and i believe that it could save many others, it was my century when a needed, it gave me spiritual shelter when i needed spiritual strength and peace.

Herban Health has helped hundreds, now thousands of people in this community. I was fortunate enough to have been able to use my skills to promote good health and well being to an under-served community. I first started at a detoxification center giving free acupuncture to former drug and alcohol addicts. Then, the program started a Saturday clinic for the general public. I was amazed by the response of the people who came back week after week and who brought their friends and relatives because the clinic had helped them so much. The program is run by dedicated volunteers who love their craft and the community. I feel privileged to have been a part of this program with its selfless organizers and volunteers. Thank you Herban Health!
Herban Health is an amazing group. Run by an incredible woman Dyanne Ladine - it provides free acupuncture (donations are very welcome) to the people of East Palo Alto and the surrounding area. It is a drop-in clinic between 8:30 and 12 noon so anyone can come in, find a chair, sit down and receive an acupuncture treatment. Most points are done in the ear (ear acupuncture) and some on the body. People who receive acupuncture weekly are helped with all kinds of problems, pain, indigestion, headaches, insomnia etc.
My name is Oralia Montoya. A friend of mine told me about a free acupuncture clinic. I cannot believed it was free. I started comming to the acupuncture in Fall 2003. At that time, I have had not medical insurance or money to see an MD. The acupuncturists balanced my high blood pressure in three months. I also experienced pain relief from the fibromyalgia and ostheoarthritis and gain mobility. In additon, my stomach was swelling to the point that I looked like an eighth months pregnant. After few months from the acupuncture treatments the swelling decreased significantly. I was told the swelling was due to non proper functioning of liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen. As a result of all these conditions, I have had sleep disorders. But After the first acupuncture treatment, I slept like a baby. I will be forever gratful to all volunteer acupuncturists at Herban Health Free Acupuncture Clinic and its founder Dyanne Ladine. Mi nombre es Oralia Montoya. Una de mis amigas me dijo acerca de Herban Health una clinica gratuita de acupuntura. No podia creer que fuera gratis. Empeze a asistir a la acupuntura en otono 2003, En ese tiempo no tenia aseguranza medica ni dinero para ver un Medico. La(os) acupunturistas balancearon mi alta presion en tres meses. Tambien experiemnte alivio al dolor causado por la fibromialgia y la oesteoartritis y recupere mobilidad. Ademas mi estomago estaba inflamado al punto que parecia que tenia ocho meses de embarazo. Me dijeron que la inflamacion del estomago se debia a que el higado, la vesicula, el pancreas y el bazo no funcionan bien. Despues de pocos meses de tratamientos, la inflamacion disminuyo signifacantemente. Como resusltado de estas condiciones tenia desordenes del sueno, pero despues del primer tratamiento de acupuntura, dormi como un bebe. Siempre estare agradecida con toda(o)s loa acupunturistas de la clinica gratuita de Herban Health y su fundadora DYanne Ladine. Oralia Montoya
I have worked for about 5 years as a volunteer acupuncturist with Herban Health at the VA in Menlo Park and at Ravenswood Medical Clinic in East Palo Alto. On at least 2 occasions I have taken part in half day seminars on nutrition to educate our patients. In general I think that patients find our services very helpful as evidenced by the healthy attendance at the two clinics that I work. Sometimes I think we try to do too much in the short time we have with patients, especially the Saturday clinic at Ravenswood.
I am amazed by the number of clients that Herban Health has helped over the years. There are clients who praised the quality service they received throughout their health experience at Herban Health. There are long-time smokers who quit smoking because our acupuncture treatments and women with irregular periods regain their normal menstrual cycles, plus many more wonderful stories share among our clients and referred to their friends and families. There are often entire families who come in for treatment and keep coming for many years. i have been volunteering at Herban Health for 3 months now, and found myself contributing to this great mission that provides a healing platform to clients from disadvantaged communities.
I have been a volunteer acupuncturist at Herban Health for almost 4 years and this experience has been both rewarding and humbling to me. Herban Health is a great organization where I am able to utilize my skills and knowledge as an acupuncturist/chinese medicine doctor to serve people with limited or no healthcare alternatives. Herban Health has been providing free acupuncture and health education classes to low income people, people who are homeless or in recovery in the East Palo Alto/Menlo Park area for many years. These services have been provided almost exclusively by volunteer practitioners, small money donations from clients, acupuncture supplies donated by vendors, and room space donated by various community based organizations. Only recently has Herban Health become an official non-profit organization. In my past life, I was a biomedical scientist by training and had worked with cutting edge research on Western medical therapies until I went back to school to become a Chinese medicine practitioner. Working with the volunteers and the clients at Herban Health has definitely changed my perspectives on and made me appreciate much more about public health and community work. I have been inspired by all the volunteers who have given their time and efforts; I have been inspired by what a difference Chinese medicine (including acupuncture, lifestyle and nutrition education) can make to the clients’ health; and most of all, I have been inspired by the clients who, despite the tremendous stress, hardships and serious health or addiction issues they are facing, still strive for a better and healthier life for themselves and their families. Even at this small scale, I believe that Herban Health has already touched many people. We hope to continue serving more people in need and to work with other practitioners and communities to set up similar holistic healthcare projects.
