I've been really curious about Chinese preventative medicine for a bit now and when my friend said…read morethat she was having some back pain, we decided to stop by Chinese Herbs & Acupuncture together. We did call ahead to make an appointment, but I believe that he may also do walk-ins. To start off, you fill out a form with your basic information and main concerns that you want to work on. Then, Dr. Au takes you into his office for a short consultation. He will ask you about what you listed on your form and ask questions to best pin-point your issues. He will also take your blood pressure and pulse. He can tell a lot about your body simply from taking your pulse. I'm really not a needle person so I was a bit anxious but it really wasn't painful. He even connected the needles to electiccurrent and it's a weird feeling at first but it ends up feeling like a deep tissue massage. Everything is clean and while it may not be a bougie spa vibe-- it's still very comfortable. I walked out drinking the Dr. Au kool-aid. I will be back and will be recommending to anyone and everyone.

Update: I need to continue to let everyone know that Mei-Lin is a highly qualified acupuncturist…read morethat I recommend for pain relief and overall improvement with your health. I had a uterus and cervical biopsy today and Mei-Lin was able to calm my anxiety after the procedure and ease my cramps. She listens to all your concerns and provides acupuncture to help relieve the pain.

I appreciate the fact that I can make an appointment or reschedule (48 hour notice) online. No hassles!

Dr. Mei-Lin is amazing!…read more In our quest for parenthood, I stumbled upon Maunakea Acupuncture. My Obgyn said to just continue trying and come back in a year if nothing happens. Me (being my impatient self) wanted to explore other possibilities. I'm still young and relatively healthy, so I was looking for a naturopathic option. She did an extensive consultation and walked me through the plan before we started acupuncture. She asked about things like my diet, lifestyle, and gave me great advice on what I should/shouldn't do. The next appointment was scheduled for acupuncture. I'm not sure if it was the timing or the stars just aligned. I immediately got pregnant after the first session! A pregnancy test confirmed it a month later on Father's Day. I saw her religiously during the first trimester and sparingly throughout my pregnancy. Based off my pulse, she was able to identify the baby's gender and confirmed we're having a boy! Now, a year later, we have a healthy and happy baby boy! I still see her once a month post partum to help my body heal. Thank you Dr. Mei-Lin! PS She also helped fix my reoccurring knee and ankle pains Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!

I haven't been to a store like this myself to see the doctor for an assessment to better my health. In fact, it's been a very, very long time since I've drank those type of Chinese medicinal herbs. It's always been my parents and grandparents combining their own ingredients that was taught to them from their parents and grandparents or other family members, and possibly they were taught by older generations too. When I was a kid, I dreaded drinking that bitter, thick, black concoction. I already felt sick, the smell and taste of it makes even feel worse!! Why? Why? Why?! I made a deal with my parents and grandparents to drink it in one gulp only if I can have a candy--a candy chaser lol. Well, I'm not a kid now (on the outside, at least), so I don't think I need one now? I was recommended Tak Wah Tong from a client. She used it for her sickness. I normally rely on Western medicine to get the job done for quick relief and quick healing, but Western medicines doesn't improve your health from the inside as Traditional Chinese medicine. Tak Wah Tong is located in the Chinatown Cultural Plaza among Beretania. It's in the inner part of the plaza, next to the big stage, and near Won Kee and Legend Seafood restaurants. You'll be greeted by a kind elder gentleman and lady. They both can speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and very understandable English. You explain your issues and health concerns to the doctor, and he will check and feel your pulse on both your wrists. Then he will write up his ingredients list to make your herbal drink. After that, they both go to work, and gather and weigh all your ingredients. I have really no idea on the cost as I've never did this. My family usually just buys the whole bags and prepare at home. I did the 5-day plan and that ran me $60 even. Seems okay. They only accept Cash or Check, no credit or debit cards. No need appointment. The inside of the store is clean and well-lit. I'm surprised there was no giant apothecary cabinet, but everything was in jars and containers along the wall and scattered here and there. Overall, I do strongly believe in Traditional Chinese medicine. Whenever I was sick, and Western medicine fails, Chinese medicine always heals me. Western medicine gets straight to the point for quick relief, and Chinese medicine heals within and the hidden, underlying issue. I'm only day three of my medicine, but hopefully it'll work in the long run.

Oh Edie. Edie is like my fairy godmother. I heard about Edie from a friend who was also placed on…read morethe waitlist but didn't get a chance to work with her. She told me that Edie was well known in the Hawaii fertility world to help many difficult cases get pregnant. My husband and I were trying to get pregnant over the last 7 years and have gone through one failed round of IVF and numerous rounds of IUI with no success, on top of a natural pregnancy in December 2022 that ended in a miscarriage. I've been diagnosed with Endometriosis and Adenomyosis and have even considered using an egg donor if all else failed with my eggs. I've also tried the Mediterranean diet prior to our IVF and was still not successful. I was 39 years old and figured age was also not on my side. We were planning on doing one last round of IVF in the beginning of 2024 and figured I should at least try acupuncture as a last ditch effort to perhaps help my body prep for IVF. I called the office and was placed on the waitlist. I believe it took a few months before I was called to be offered a consultation. Edie not only focuses on your main fertility issue but works on your whole body and your gut to help you get healthy and conceive as naturally as possible. After my consultation, I was placed on the candida diet to help lessen the inflammation in my gut. Let me tell you, that diet was one of the hardest things I've ever done. You will religiously shop at Whole Foods & check Costco for Organic protein options. I was also going to see Edie twice a week for acupuncture as well as taking my Chinese herbs that taste like dirt LOL. I made it a routine and my coworkers were even aware of my diet and routine lol. Slowly I lost some bad weight, gained energy, and was overall healthier and it became a lifestyle. I wish I could say I was still as good on my diet now, but I am honestly way more conscious of what I put in my body as opposed to before. To have positive results, you will have to work hard, but it definitely is worth it. The office staff is really friendly, parking is validated, and they have Saturday appointments which are very helpful if you work weekdays. Edie also works with Dr. Dominguez who is an excellent Fertility doctor. Together they are like the dynamic duo who will holistically help you achieve your fertility goals. To be honest, I was a little skeptical at first because I'm terrified of needles and thought how could all of this possibly work? Week after week, Edie worked up to the bigger needles for me and instead of feeling tense, I found my acupuncture sessions relaxing. Yes, the sessions and herbs can get pretty pricey, but I always remind myself that the price tag was worth not having to go through IVF again. I started seeing Edie in June 2023 and got pregnant with an unmedicated IUI in October 2023. Unfortunately that pregnancy resulted in a chemical pregnancy, but it was one step closer to our goal. My prior IUIs always used meds like Letrozole but I never ever got pregnant from them. Then the next month we were surprised when I conceived naturally! We were ecstatic but apprehensive since I've had two miscarriages before. I continued to see Edie twice a week during my pregnancy, kept up with my protein intake especially during the first trimester, and took my herbs. I believe all of that in combination helped me to keep my nausea controlled, no morning sickness, and very minimal swelling. My pregnancy went very well and was unremarkable. Even the postpartum nurses were shocked I wasn't swollen at all after giving birth. Like many of you reading these reviews, I felt hopeful after years of disappointment and was praying that hopefully someday I'd be on the other side of these reviews making my own successful review for Edie. We are so grateful we found Edie and that she was able to help us achieve getting pregnant naturally to a healthy baby boy. We never thought we would ever have a baby nonetheless conceive naturally. If you are on the fence about seeing Edie--take the leap cause it could change your life. Thank you Edie for helping us conceive our beautiful son. Definitely recommend Edie if you're looking for a fertility acupuncturist!

I just got a call after being on the waitlist for 8 months, and told they're "going down the list"…read moreto reach out to waitlisted people. I was essentially told I had to decide that minute (like literally THAT MINUTE) if I would accept an upcoming appointment in a few weeks. I'm in treatment with a different acupuncturist - it's been 8 months after all - and I needed a moment to think about this. I wanted to review my care plan and goals after not hearing from this practice for so long. Very much caught off guard. I asked if I could have time to think (I wanted about an hour), and was told no - I would need to decide right then THAT MINUTE - and she needed to proceed down the waitlist. I felt extremely pressured to make a decision on the spot, in a very vulnerable aspect of health care - fertility and women's health. I was about to say yes, and then after thinking about it for the three seconds I had and how unprofessional this all felt - my answer turned to a hard "no." This practice made me feel like a mark, a number, an insignificant person on a list to get through until they hit their client booking goals. In spite of how talented a healer Edie Uchida might be, this policy is unfair and the person delivering this info, very cold.

This is my 3rd time going to see Kyle. I found him on Yelp, and want to thank the previous yelpers…read morewho wrote a review because that really helped me in making my decision to give him a try. He is located in Kailua, and works out of a home office. He takes his time to listen to your problem and will recommend treatment. I asked for estim with my acupuncture treatment. He also provided some suggestions for stretching to help alleviate some pain and prevent reinjury. He also did ear seeding, where he places a tiny tiny seed-like metal pin in my ear as an acupressure point. If you can take the pain I would recommend doing it. Each time I have gone kyle has provided relief to my pain. The price is very reasonable, I am sure each individual treatment is different. I would HIGHLY recommend that if you are looking for an acupuncture treatment on the Windward side, give him a call. He does not push you to purchase any product that he has available, he doesn't even tell you about them. But he has products set up around his treatment area. If you have question ask about them. Personally, I did purchase the ice rub, it was in a roll-on style glass, and it is great! You don't really feel it like other muscle rubs but you will know it is working. Enjoy !!

Yana is amazing! Everything about her and her practice inspire confidence...especially the results!…read moreHer combination of acupuncture, cupping and electric stim are wonderfully effective. I am wrapping up a year of weekly acupuncture, physical therapy and massage to address a frozen shoulder. At 50 I knew I was at a crossroad: decide to live with pain and limits, or put in the time and effort to get better. Now, 2 years later, I am stronger, mostly pain free, have complete mobility in both arms, and thanks to Yana, my sinuses are clearer than ever. I really don't think I would be doing so well without the combination of all three therapies, but Yana's expert treatments are what really pushed me into an overall improvement of health and well being.

I felt relaxed, her needling technique is smooth, yet powerful, she definitely is an excellent fisher for the qi! Rhonda kept checking in with me to make sure I was comfortable, and eased me into releasing the mental and physical blockages that I consciously and unconsciously have had, along with habits and language I have been using that was limiting my higher self from its fullest potential. I immediately felt the difference in a shift of my energy, and a lot of purging and cleansing, restoration and refinement that happened months after the initial treatment I've had with her back in November.
