CYY Acupuncture & Herbs — Local services in San Gabriel

Dr. Chen is an amazing doctor! My daughter had been having extreme scalp itching, leading her to pull out her hair as the only possible method to relieve the itching. After months of hair-pulling, she had nearly gone bald at the top of her head. We consulted several Western doctors, including a specialist, but none of them provided effective treatment. We also tried various shampoos, home remedies, and an expensive laser cap, but none had a significant impact. Eventually, we decided to explore traditional Chinese medicine. Upon visiting Dr. Chen, he accurately diagnosed the issue and prescribed highly effective herbal teas. Within 2 weeks of regular weekly appointments, the itching subsided, and her hair began to grow back. Now at the 4th week of her treatment, the bald area is not noticeable, although it is still a bit thin. Dr. Chen's individualized herbal teas, prescribed according to my daughter's health condition, changed weekly. Dr. Chen adopted a holistic approach, considering various aspects of my daughter's condition. He also offered valuable advice on lifestyle and self-care. Dr. Chen's wife, Jenny, expertly prepares the herb mixes with great attention to detail. Patients are usually provided with herbal powders for convenience, but whole herbs can be requested. The clinic is conveniently located with ample parking and is always clean and tidy. We intend to continue seeking Dr. Chen's care for overall well-being, even after my daughter's hair problem is completely resolved. Update: Dr. Chen has once again come to the rescue for my daughter! After working in a biology lab for a few weeks this summer, she suddenly developed a severe skin allergy. Her hands were covered in blisters, her face was so swollen that she could barely see, and dark, itchy rashes covered her entire body. Before she had a chance to see Dr. Chen, she consulted her family doctor and a dermatologist, trying various medications, but none provided any relief. Then she visited Dr. Chen, who offered her three bags of herbal tea. The moment she took her first cup, she felt an immediate sense of coolness and comfort. After finishing all three bags, her condition improved significantly. She returned for more tea, and Dr. Chen adjusted the recipe to better suit her current state. Following the second batch of teas, she was mostly back to normal. We are so grateful to Dr. Chen! My daughter was truly impressed by the effectiveness of Chinese medicine and is now eager to learn...

Dr. Chen is a real healer. I had anxiety on and off for over 2 years but got severe about 2 months ago. I will wake up in the morning feeling panicky. Even climbing 4 steps on the ladder can get my heart beating fast. His first acupuncture treatment got me into a nap for 10 minutes. I woke up feeling a 50% immediately relief already. His needle skill is excellent. Some needles I don't even feel it. After 3 weeks 5 acupuncture sessions with daily herbal tea, I can say I felt 95% recovered.

His herbal tea is one of the best form I've tried. It's mixed from concentrated herbal extracts. Traditional herbal medicine was usually boiling a pot dried herbs for over an hour; the tea/soup can be thick, dark, bitter, and hard on the stomach. Although there are premade recipes with concentrated herbal extracts in capsule form for specific illnesses/symptoms. The problem with premade recipes is they cannot adjust according to severity/condition.

Dr. Chen’s herbal recipe is tailored made for my body at the current condition. It’s light, bland, much easier to ingest, and it only takes minutes to make.

Aside from his skills, Dr. Chen has very good bedside manners. He and his wife are both friendly and compassionate. I highly...

Dr. Yu-Ying Chen’s Acupuncture Helped Increase My Follicles — From 2 to 8!

I came to Dr. Yu-Ying Chen for acupuncture during my egg retrieval preparation. My initial scan showed only 2 follicles, and I was told the chances of getting more were very low. It was really discouraging.

After starting acupuncture treatments with Dr. Chen, everything changed. He is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and caring. He customized each session based on my cycle, hormone levels, and symptoms. I always felt calm and relaxed after treatments—and I noticed improvements in sleep, energy, and overall well-being.

After a few sessions, my follow-up scan showed 8 follicles — a huge jump from the original 2! Even my fertility doctor was surprised. I truly believe acupuncture with Dr. Chen made a big difference in my egg development and chances of success.

The clinic environment is clean and peaceful, and Dr. Chen explains everything in a way that feels both professional and supportive. I’m so grateful I found him and would highly recommend him to anyone preparing for IVF, egg freezing, or looking to improve their fertility naturally.

Also great for Chinese-speaking patients — he communicates clearly in both English...
