Bina Jangda Acupuncture and Integrative Health

Warm-​hearted, good-​humored, and kind. Those are just a few words that come to mind when I think about Bina Jangda as a person. When I think about Bina as a practitioner, I’m struck by her talent, professionalism and exceptionalism in the field of Chinese Medicine. When you combine the two… well, that’s when you know, you’ve come to Bina Jangda Acupuncture and Integrative Health!
I’ve been seeing Bina now for two months, and I think she is nothing short of a miracle worker. Plagued with issues of anxiety and depression, I came to Bina after exploring a host of alternative treatments that hadn’t produced results. Not only did Bina work to develop a comprehensive plan to address my symptoms, but she dedicated herself to creating a treatment that also alleviated some lingering issues from a back injury and chronic tension. I can honestly say I’ve never felt better. It has truly been extraordinary.
Now. Before I stop there. I might mention one other feature of her practice that I love: her website! I love that I have an online scheduling system at my disposal, and I found Bina’s online intake system to be effective, streamlined, and efficient. It’s a great resource and as a busy graduate student, I appreciate the flexibility it offers me.
So, if you are in the East Bay looking for a great acupuncture experience, look no further than Bina Jangda Acupuncture and Integrative Health. You won’t be disappointed.

Coming up on 2 years ago, I was having some uncomfy feelings in my body that I knew were directly related to the stress I was having with my family and the holidays. I found Bina via google and have been going ever since. As an active professional artist and deeply empathic person, giving to others is one of my greatest strengths. With Bina’s gentle guidance, wisdom and care — I’ve been learning to cultivate my ability to give to myself. Grateful to give this review of her skillful work.

I can’t say enough good things about Bina. She’s just fantastic: warm, knowledgeable, very professional, and very intuitive about the treatment. Both my husband and I have worked with her, and she was very good about meeting each of us where we are; she’ll work with you to find a course of treatment that works with your lifestyle and that you’ll actually follow.

I highly recommend Bina Jangda. I hadn’t tried accupuncture until meeting Bina and have now been coming to her for 5 years. Her services and holistic nutritional advice have made a tremendous positive impact on my life, helping with pregnancy, minor ailments, and looking and feeling well. Bina is a true professional. She is knowledgable, experienced, and trustworthy.
Pregnancy: I first visited Bina during my first pregnancy because my baby was breach at 36 weeks. Through a series of accupuncture treatments, herbs, and use of moxie sticks, my son flipped to a head down position and I was able to have a vaginal birth. Then, when I was over a week past my due date, Bina gave me accupuncture labor induction and I went into labor that night. I was shocked at these results!
When I was ready to get pregnant again, I visited Bina to get my body ready for pregnancy. I had a healthy second pregnancy, but discovered my baby was breach at 37 weeks. Bina helped me flip the baby again – TWICE! He was also born vaginally, although I had two separate versions scheduled. Bina helped me increase my amniotic fluid level, which surely helped the baby flip. Finally Bina helped me regulate my cycle after the baby was born.
I am now pregnant for the third time, and I believe Bina’s nutrtitional and herbal recommendations helped ensure a healthy egg supply (as I am older now).
Facial Rejuvenation: Bina has worked wonders for me with facial rejuvenation. I went through a series of treatments and now my skin is much more hydrated, my skin tone is even, and I’ve seen great improvement with fine lines, especially around my eyes. I would highly recommend this service to anyone who is noticing signs of aging.

When I came to see Bina, I was suffering from truly severe adrenal exhaustion. I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning at all, and couldn’t think very clearly. Within 6 weeks I had regained a normal amount of energy, and was much more level headed.
She has gone on to assist me with a shoulder injury and I am currently out of pain.
She is also truly caring and really listens to where you are in life. Her wisdom has been a big asset to me as well.
She accepts some insurance, which is a big help, particularly as I know it’s a hassle for practitioners to deal with insurances.

Bina is an exceptional practitioner. Not only does she treat patients, she actually teaches graduate students for California State board certification. This woman knows her stuff.
Aside from her expansive knowledge of acupuncture and Chinese medicinal herbs, she’s compassionate, extremely professional and accommodating. Her treatments are gentle, intuitive and quite effective.
I have been to many acupuncturists during my lifetime and Bina is one of the best. I highly recommend her services.

I respect Bina implicitly. She has a huge heart, incredible knowledge and gentle and effective practice of Chinese Medicine. I refer patients to her often and trust her work completely. She is not only an acupuncturist and master herbalist but also a teacher and advocate for our profession. She has treated me with great results for many issues including headaches and fatigue. I’m so grateful that Bina is in my life!

My Dad Grant just started working with Bina and has been so happy to finally get some help with his peripheral neuropathy in his feet.
At 84 he has had trouble driving due to lack of sensation in his feet and had been unable to drive to our house to visit. Now that he has been getting acupuncture for his feet he has regained his confidence and is able to drive again to visit us.
To me it seems like a miracle to me and I’d like to try Bina to help with my chemotherapy induced neuropathy in my feet.
I look forward to getting the same results my Dad has.
I will keep you posted.

I LOVE Bina, I can’t imagine anybody having a bad review, it just doesn’t make sense. I have been going to her for a long time now and actually consider her a dear friend. She is very skilled at what she does and has many clients who would do anything for her. I highly recommend her for anything you are having problems with because she really knows her stuff!

I came to Unilocal to post about my experience, and I’m kind of surprised to see the really negative reviews. Sure I suppose everyone has a bad day now and then, but after a number of years of receiving acupuncture and other bodywork, I find that how I resonate with the practitioner and my own expectations for outcomes really sets a tone for how well my body responds and how my healing goes. By expectations I mean this idea that someone is supposed to «fix me». There are great aspects about western medicine — but one of the worst is it’s capacity to disempower. As a result we all go to the doctor wanting to «be fixed». It sounds like the other reviews are about a technology problem. Her work, however, speaks for itself. But for the record, I’m always online and haven’t had issues with scheduling.
Anyways, that wasn’t my experience with Bina. I think what I liked most about the visit is her capacity to listen to me. What she reflected back to me was not what I thought would happening for me. Again, I went in there with these expectations of what I thought was happening, how and what I would be treated for, and how it would resolve. In the days after the treatment, I’m actually seeing some more profound changes in my conditions and emotionas around them than I did during or immediately following the visit. Don’t get me wrong, the visit was great. Bina is thoughtful and was sensitive to my shyness about «my issue» (several, actually), her needling very sensitive and responding to my body… But I think the real process for me happened after a few things she responded to me about during the question and answer part of the visit.
And about her needling. When I told her about the issues I have with needles, she used a delicate thinner needle Japanese style with me. In the past most acupuncturists I’ve seen just stick larger needles in me and leave the room. What I liked was how long she was in the room working with me. It was more like a massage in that sense. To give that much time and attention… I mean, to know I can go see someone periodically and I have their undivided attention for at least an hour to work on health issues — it’s pretty amazing.
This is only my third time seeing Bina in 6 – 8 weeks, but I have a feeling I’ve found someone who can really get to know my health issues, and who will be in it for the long haul with me — or until it’s time for me to change what I’m doing.

Bina is very professional, kind and has a great bedside manner. I didn’t have any negative experiences with her, and I saw her for about a year. I saw Bina for fertility: she lowered my FSH to half of what it was and I got pregnant on my first try. What more is there to say? Highly recommended.

I have been seeing Bina for treatment of insomnia for about 6 months. Although I’ve struggled with insomnia throughout my life (I’m 45 now), and I’ve seen several acupuncturists and homeopaths for years at a time, I experienced more improvement working with her for just a month than I did with my other health care providers. In addition to acupuncture and herbs, she suggested dietary changes that have had a profound impact on my life, my mood, and my sleep. Bina stays available by email to monitor progress and make suggestions between appointments.
Bina also helped my husband (who was desperate enough to give acupuncture a try) last spring when he went through a serious health crisis after developing neurological problems related to a sodium and electrolyte imbalance that landed him in the hospital. His western doctors kept prescribing medications that only made things worse, but within 2 or 3 weeks of working with Bina he was able to get off the medications and return to work, and within about 6 weeks he was fully recovered. Again, he stayed in touch with her by email whenever his symptoms changed, and she would adjust his herbs accordingly.
My 12 year old daughter has also had sleep issues, so I brought her to Bina, and again, after about 2 weeks, she was sleeping just fine.
Bina is truly a gifted healer. I recommend her highly!

I think Bina is one of the most knowledgable and best acupuncturists in the area. I went to her when I developed cholestasis at the end of my pregnancy. Her work supported me through a very difficult 3^rd trimester. She is efficient, warm, and compassionate. I still go to her 2 years later and always go into a deep meditative state on her table. I highly recommend her!

Bina’s approach to acupuncture is unique and very effective. With her whole body explorative method, she has helped me with many imbalances including digestive disharmony, alignment issues and spirit calming. I look forward to seeing her and always leave feeling better. I count on her as a big part of my health care. I highly recommend her!

Went to see Bina for pain between my shoulder blades. Wonderful touch, excellent relief, gentle manner. Would recommend her to anyone.

Bina is amazing. Her touch is magical and never painful!
I went for a facial rejuvenation session. I was a little nervous in the beginning but Bina made me feel totally at ease. She has a way about her that is soothing and calm. I especially loved the facial massage at the end of the session. If you want look years younger and to get rid of those little lines on the forehead, around the mouth and around the eyes then try this alternative therapy!
The prices are totally reasonable, the session was so pleasant and when I left I felt like I was floating on a cloud. I literally felt lighter, airier and brighter.
I would not hesitate to recommend Bina!

I went to Bina to lower my cholesterol and she was simply amazing. Great bedside manner, very good listener. Needles were never a problem, she has a light touch. I have already recommended her to several friends and they too rave about her…

I started visiting Bina for prenatal acupuncture when I was at about week 26, and it has been SUPER helpful. She is a very warm, caring, and a very knowledgeable practitioner. I had never done acupuncture before my pregnancy, but I now swear by it – and by Bina — given how helpful it has been. I had been a little freaked out about the idea of all the needles, but it really is true that you hardly feel them 99% of the time.
The other bonus is: I found out my health insurance, like a lot of them now, actually reimburses me for part of my acupuncture visits!

Bina is amazing! I have been seeing her for 8 weeks now and receiving facial rejuvenation acupuncture. I have seen many acupuncturists in my life but I have never been treated constitutionally for my overall well being. Long story short-​I was in a business meeting the other day and someone made a comment that I have done a lot in my career and they were amazed. The reason was because they thought I was 19 years old! I am 28 and that flattering mistake is all because of Bina’s amazing techniques. Her facial rejuvenation acupuncture will give you the results of is Botox, a face lift and a chemical peel with out the pain, price and healing time. As a side affect of the treatments, my allergies and PMS symptoms have disappeared! Thanks Bina!!!
