The Center is committed to preserving and continuing efficacious healing with traditional Tibetan medicine practices in our modern world.
Yangdron Kalzang earned the Tibetan Medicine degree from the Tibetan Medical University in Lhasa, Tibet, and her Masters degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University, Graduate School of Traditional Chinese Medicine, in Santa Cruz, California. She is an Acupuncturist licensed by the state of California and an Acupuncturist and Herbalist certified by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
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 size, 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.

Dr. Dhondup arrived in the United States in 1998 to attend the First International Conference of Tibetan Medicine in Washington D.C. and moved his family to Los Angeles, California to study for his Masters in Acupuncture.
In 2001 the Dhondup’s moved to Santa Barbara, California where Dr. Dhondup worked as a Research Specialist at the University of California, Santa Barbara where Dr. Dhondup established a long-term collaboration with Dr. Cynthia Husted of UCSD to interpret myelin, multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders from the perspective of Tibetan Medicine.
When I first consulted Lobsang Dhondup, I was completely immobile due to a virus in my muscles and an acute case of fibromyalgia. I was taking high doses of prednisone and anti-inflammatory medicine and experiencing many bad side effects from the medicine. After three months of herbal therapy, diet change and treatments by Lobsang Dhondup, I was free of pain and medicine dependence. He was truly a gift to my life.
