★★★★★ — Jess, Jul 2025

I've been seeing Dr Yangdron Kalzang for many years for chronic pain and insomnia since retiring from the U.S. Army in 2017. She does cupping, oils, acupuncture, and ear seeds. I feel like a whole new person since these treatments at her clinic. I've recommended Dr.

Dr. Yangdron Kalzang is helping me with my dosha imbalance and injury. Based on her quick diagnosis she formulated a treatment that consists of behavioral and dietary changes on a habitual basis, along with Tibetan herbal medicine, cupping, and acupuncture.

What to expect from your first cupping session

New to cupping? Here's the short version. What happens: the practitioner places cups on the skin — most often the back, shoulders, or legs — and creates suction (with a pump, or briefly with a flame for fire cupping). Cups either stay put for a few minutes (dry cupping) or are glided over oiled skin (massage cupping). A session is usually 15–45 minutes, often added to a massage or acupuncture visit. The marks: cupping leaves round, bruise-like circles that are normal and usually fade in a few days to a couple of weeks — they're discoloration from the suction, not an injury, and shouldn't really hurt. What to wear: comfortable clothing that gives access to the area being treated. Afterward: drink water, keep the area warm, and skip intense sun or a hot sauna right after.

Cupping isn't for everyone — if you're on blood thinners, pregnant, or have a skin condition or bleeding disorder, check with your doctor first, and always tell your practitioner about health concerns before a session. This page is directory information, not medical advice.
