Duong Xuan Duong

Just know that he can NOT help you if you’re on any Western medications. Until I’m able to get off of them, I could not utilize his services. But I will be back when I can.

Took mi mum here after a visit to her cardiologist.
This Mr. Vu was able to «diagnose» her problems by a few simple checks.
He prescribed a detox and sleep aid herbals for Mum. She took the detox and that stuff «clears out» your colon!
A little rough. I mean this sh! t gives you the runs. Beware, if you have any sensitivities or serious health issues i wouldn’t do a cleanse.
This is only a cash only store, which is sort of an inconvenience for me.
Honestly, I’m a skeptic. You don’t know if something’s gonna hurt you really bad. I would strongly recommend working with a real medical professional before trying this stuff. Check with your doctor if you could do a cleanse and other herbal remedies.

I was recommended to go here by a friend who is an acupuncturist. You ask for Mr. Vu and he’ll take you to a room where he’ll ask to look at your tongue and maybe read your pulse depending on the symptoms. Just by observation alone, he knew right on what my symptoms were before I even said anything about it. He made an herbal formula for me and the price is very reasonable (under $ 30 for me) and Cash only. Sure beats going to Kaiser and paying a $ 50 copay and $ 10 prescription copay for a prescription that will probably not work. I saw an improvement with my ailment within hours. Will definitely keep going back for any other ailments, as well as come back for my follow up to see if everything is resolving. I have a large sun spot on my cheek and he said he’s got something for it for next time. Health first, cosmetics later. Wait time may be long depending on how many people are there before you, be patient. Better to go on a weekday.

pros… i can’t believe that i have not done a Unilocal on DXD before. when i was going to acupuncture school, this was the closest herb shop to school. and they were/​are quite well stocked and a bit cheaper than getting your herbal RX filled than school.
packed with herbs of all kinds, and people here are for the most part nice and some even speak english. the owner is quite nice, but english is like his third language so he’s not so fluent in it. a nice selection of patent formulas as well, these are they traditional chinese medicine version of OTC meds.
cons…i had a recurring nightmare, especially when i was going to acupuncture school and when it was close to an herb exam, that i would be here at DXD and i would be buried alive in herbs and boxes. the place is pretty crammed with stuff, and it is not the most organized of stores, but they will have what you are looking for. just try to overlook the seemingly randomness of boxes, cans, and other containers in the store.

I think they carry pretty good quality herb! I purchased Chinese Almond there, I can smell almond!

I went to DXD when my acupuncturist was out of town and I needed medicine for a UTI. There is an herbalist there (Mr. Vu) who sat down with me to ascertain what raw herbs were needed to address the source of my ailment. By listening to my symptoms and looking at my tongue he was able to know what I needed.
Those raw herbs are magic and I am so thankful for Mr. Vu and DXD.

I was referred to DXD by a friend. I went in and asked for something for a cold. The women at the front were very friendly and asked me to wait a minute. Then they sent me to the back into a tiny office space to sit down with Dr. Vu. He took my pulse, asked about my symptoms and then took a look in my mouth a couple of times. He told me that first we had to get something for my stomach troubles. I didn’t even tell him that I had any. It is true though that I have stomach issues everyday.
Next, he put a linament type thing on his hands and rubbed it into some acupressure points giving me a sort of massage for like 20 minutes (no charge). I am now at home with the items I need to make a tea for my stomach and for my cold. My bill was $ 21. Super reasonable for all of the medications, advice and treatment.
This was an excellent place. I will be going back and taking my son who gets migraines. It is very small and quite different from an americanized pharmacy but much better.

Yea DXD!
This spot has achieved Seven’s Seven Star Stamp of Approval!
Went in to grab some Zheng Gu Shui for some ailments and it was nothing but love up in there. I highly recommend the DXD for those natural healers! Put that pharma down, pick up some herbals!
Go to the Duong Xuan Duong today, theyll take good care of ya up in there!

Oh why did I buy all those packs of Eagle medicated oil from Lucky Seafood where it cost 7 dollars more?!?
I wish I found this place sooner. Came in here to buy some more of the medicated oil — they have different kinds. They had supplements also. Buy in quantity and you will get a discount.
They were so friendly, too. If you need to buy any of the Asian herbal stuff, go there pls!

I love this chinese herb shop! It is awesome the products are very fresh, and the chinese lady is so very helpful. She always shows you what the product is for in english and how to take it. Best prices too. 5 star all the way, cash or check!

I love Duong Xuan Duong. They are super friendly. It smells like herbs and dirt. I love that combo. Don’t just pick up your herbs, look around. You might find something that you usually spend a fortune on for a great price.
Their payment policy is the only reason I’m not giving them 5 stars. Make sure to bring cash or a checkbook because they don’t take plastic.

DXD is always the first place I stop when I need Chinese herbs. They have liniments, patent medicines and raw herbs that are fairly inexpensive.
The staff tends to be very friendly (more so on a weekday than a weekend). The owner can seem somewhat curt, but I have a feeling it’s a language/​culture thing. I can be like a bull in a china shop sometimes (pun intended) so I’m sure that seems out of place in a small herb store.
If you aren’t too familiar with the herbs or formulas, and you are there to get a prescription filled, I’d go in with the formula written out clearly, and if it’s a patent, definitely get it written in Chinese. I’ve walked out with the wrong formula before without realizing it until I was on my way home, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.
