He explained what every needle did and how it would alleviate my extreme pain. I am now a believer in Dry Needling and Chinese Herbs. If you are suffering from any kind of back pain, I highly recommend giving him a shot, especially if you don’t have insurance, because he is far more cheaper than going to the hospital. 1,000 thanks Mr. Eyton Shalom

For your future patients: I had heat stroke 3 months ago during my BUDS training. My temperature was 106 degrees. I could have, of course, died. Nine weeks later (three weeks ago) I still had blurry vision, dizziness, mental fog, did not feel like myself, and felt like my brain was bouncing around in fluid when I exercised. I had what I can only describe as a band of fuzziness around my head, like a headache. Rapid movement of my head made me feel as I were hungover. I also still was very intolerant of heat, could not exercise outdoors at all. The slightest bit of exercise made me sweat like a pig. I felt constantly dehydrated, even though I was not, and would be totally drenched with just 30 sit ups and 30 push ups, and also exhausted.

After the first acupuncture treatment I already felt like the blurry vision was gone, and 90% less conscious of my brain in my head, and basically like I was on the way to my old self again. Now, after the fourth treatment, the changes in my diet you suggested, and 3 weeks of American Ginseng, Cordyceps, and the other Chinese Herbs you prescribed, my sweating is back to normal. Actually the P.T. did a test and my sweating is better than normal, my heat tolerance is normal, and I have begun exercising again out doors again. My headaches are also totally gone.

At this point I have no issues to speak of really. I have been training really hard to get back into the mix. Very grateful to you, Eyton, for helping me get my old optimism back about fulfilling my lifelong dream.

Eyton, the vertigo is 95% better, the nausea is gone completely, my sleep is good now, and so is the constipation. The sternum feels ok, and driving is easier. Still a tiny bit of vertigo if i look too quickly over my shoulder, like changing lanes. I look forward to our next appointment so we can tame this beast the rest of the way. Thanks for all your help so far.

The main reason for my visit was because of eczema, something I’ve had on my hands for over 20 years. Eyton explained to me how, in Chinese medicine, the digestive system and lungs directly affect the skin. Besides providing acupuncture and Ayurvedic therapy, he sent me a special handout on eczema via email (which expressed how he thought about me after our visit). Throughout the entire visit, Dr. Shalom made sure I didn’t have any questions and insured that I was most comfortable, especially since this was my first acupuncture session. Within just one week, I was elated to see how quickly my hands started improving in both texture and appearance.

I’ve since seen the doctor for typical work-related tension and stress in my hands and shoulders. I couldn’t believe the relief I felt instantly after the acupuncture treatment (something hour-long sessions of deep tissue massage could not even compare to).

I am now a strong believer in the powers of natural healing and highly recommend Body Mind Wellness Center for any ailment you may be suffering. Shalom!

After realizing a beach area community acupuncture clinic did not inspire confidence or provide real relief for what I thought was a “pinched nerve” – I realized I needed someone with a more in-depth and experienced approach to acupuncture and dry needling. I found Eyton.

He educated me about what was likely happening in my neck, and helped heal the problem with his very precisely targeted needles. There’s no point in saving money if your reason for going isn’t addressed. He was also convenient to where I live, which in my case is just south of Balboa Park area.

As a bonus, he has an expert in Chinese herbs and can recommend various herbal supplements and teas.

He also gets to know you, and looks at the whole picture, whereas the other clinic just had me fill out a form and chatted with me for about 5 minutes.

Hey, Dr. Shalom, thanks a lot, I am really glad I came in, and those Chinese herbs you gave me for the insomnia have definitely made me more relaxed and falling asleep more easily. I will be in touch after my leave to resume where we left off…

I am writing this testimonial for my acupuncturist Eyton Shalom because even though this is only my after my second visit, I am already feeling so much better. I came to see him for anxiety and what my MD says is IBS.

Have not been anxious at all, my digestion has been better– no nausea, pain, or bloating, and my appetite is back. I also have had NO neck pain and havn’t felt the need to keep cracking it or trying to. My sleep is all right, but could still be better, and I am looking forward to that improving, if the rest of these symptoms are any guide…Thanks very much Eyton

Holy crap! These things work. It says two pills three times a day, I was just doing 1 pill three times a day. I noticed within a day….less to almost no menstrual pain. That is huge since I would normally be bed ridden or have to take 800-1000mg of Ibprofen. Wanted to share with you. Thank you!

I began my healing journey with Eyton Shalom for the treatment of an acute knee injury. I had dislocated my patella playing soccer and my knee was in pretty bad shape. My P.T. referred me to Eyton for  acupuncture and dry needling to support the rehab work that she and I were doing. I felt immediate improvement in the tightness and pain after the first treatment.

While my knee was healing, I began to work with Eyton on some longer term chronic health issues I have had to deal with. We worked on the  irritable bowel syndrome I have had since puberty. He explained about the Gut-Brain connection and gave me Chinese herbs. We also made some modifications in my diet. I was, evidently, eating too much salad and smoothies! He gave me a nice gingery tea to drink after meals, and that made my tummy feel much better. 

His treatments have also helped to minimize my anxiety, balance my hormones (he’s a lifesaver when I’ve been struggling with PMS), and reduce skin inflammation including acne and eczema.

I’ve been to a number of acupuncturists and herbalists over the past 15 years, and what I love about Eyton  is his expertise in a combination of holistic approaches and his kindness in care. He is genuinely interested in my health and well-being.  I recommend you visit Eyton for any health challenge you need support with – he’ll know exact the right combination of treatments to support your whole body healing.

What a wonderful acupuncturist and herbalist. I felt like this was the first time i went to a doctor who took the time to really see what my problems were.I first went to Eyton after searching under San Diego Acupuncture for someone to help my shoulder pain. Eyton got rid of my pain in a couple of treatments with dry needling.

I did not even know then he could help me with other things.

I have had eczema and acne for the past 5-6 years, and both are about 90% gone. Really happy about that. My mom and I are both regulars now, and even my dad is thinking of going. I will believe that when I see it, but one can always hope!

thanks Mr. E.

I recently had some extreme back pain and leg pain which the doctor said was my sciatic nerve. Not having health insurance, and not wanting to take the shot in the spine that halts the pain, a friend who suffered from extreme migraines and hip pain, recommended, Mr. Shalom to me.

Never having been to an acupuncturist, I had my doubts. But after 2 acupuncture and dry needling treatments, I was able to sleep throughout the whole night and get back to work. He made me feel very comfortable as anyone could with something I had never tried before. He explained what every needle did and how it would alleviate my extreme pain.

He also explained the difference between dry needling and acupuncture. I had never heard of dry needling before. And he gave me a Chinese herb formula for low back pain that really helped a lot.

I am now a believer in Chinese medicine. If you are suffering from any kind of back pain, I highly recommend giving him a shot, especially if you don’t have insurance, because he is far more cheaper than going to the hospital. 1,000 thanks Mr. Eyton Shalom!!!!

I was introduced to Eyton several years ago by a friend following a minor automobile accident for whiplash treatment. Since then, Eyton has gone on to treat me for minor aches and pains, including chronic neck pain and a minor bout with carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s amazing, after a needling treatment that the pain is like magically gone afterwards.

I have found Eyton to be very patient and a wonderful acupuncturist. His knowledge of Ayurvedic medicine has been very helpful for me too. The Chinese herb combination that he has recommended for me has helped take control of an irritating dry patchy skin condition which I am very grateful for (because it used to itch itself raw).

I strongly recommend Eyton to anyone seeking acupuncture or Ayurvedic treatment. I bet after one visit, you’ll be back for more.

Hi Eyton,

Hey, I slept great after the last session. My neck is significantly better, and I can now sleep on my side again. I was able to surf the last couple of days with no back pain. I have started on the herbs for the rash. Oh, and the groin is all better too. Thanks much, see you in a month or so…

Hi Eyton!

I wanted to reach out to you as early as possible.  I’m at the hospital in labor.  Thank you for all you have done for me in reaching this point and I look forward to working with you for postpartum aftercare.  I’m so sorry I won’t be able to make our appointment today.  Wishing you a wonderful Thursday.

I heartily encourage anyone to seek Eyton for treatment of your symptoms!

He has Jedi Master Skills and senses just where to place those thin needles to release your pain. He has the skills and knowledge to provide incredible relief in a short time. When I lived in San Diego, I saw Eyton on a regular basis for various ailments. Always resulting in a relief of symptoms and many times complete elimination of pain. I often fell asleep on the treatment table, with multiple needles inserted, it’s that relaxing! Eyton’s “magic touch” is one of the top 3 things I miss about living in San Diego, right after the temperate climate and my family.

I learned of Eyton’s services through a co-worker, Joanne. I saw a noticeable improvement in her menopausal symptoms and asked what she was doing. Joanne encouraged me to see Eyton to alleviate my constant hip pain, “If Eyton can help me with menopause, I’m certain he can rid you of that pain.”

I was skeptical at first; however, Joanne’s cheerful attitude and endorsement motivated me. After the first treatment my pain was gone! No drugs, expensive injections or long term physical therapy, none of which had provided any relief. I was pleasantly surprised to find the needling was not painful per se. Sometimes a small sting initially which disappeared quickly. Over the years, I sought Eyton’s treatments for other disorders, shoulder injury, painful menstruation symptoms and even depression and stress.

I referred my mother to Eyton for her post brain surgery vertigo. She was amazed to see immediate relief and dismayed she had suffered so many years without relief from traditional western medicine.

That said, I will definitely reach out if I have any acute injuries or other maladies. And I will certainly send anyone I know looking for acupuncture and Chinese medicine your way. Thank you so so much for being so kind and listening to me when I needed it most!

Dear Dr. Shalom, You are a miracle. It is just so wonderful to be able to go to the bathroom every morning, and not to have to be taking laxatives. I wish I had known 50 years ago that you could cure constipation with Chinese Acupuncture! I felt so much better after the second acupuncture session, and I really like the gentle herbs you recommended and the magnesium fumarate. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart.

Dear Eyton,

Thank you for helping me out of a jam. Between the two acupuncture treatments, and the chinese herb capsules you gave me, I feel so much better. I still have work to do on the anxiety, but this immediate crisis is done with. Thanks a real lot
