East Wind Herbs and Acupuncture

Lucas is a great herbalist, knowledgable, precise and gentle.

Lucas is the real deal! In the past, I had only used his services as an expert herbalist. When I slipped and hurt my knee late one Saturday afternoon, Lucas very quickly replied to my text. Not only did he get back to me right away he also agreed to see me the next day. On a Sunday! I was very appreciative of his willingness to open his office to see me on such short notice and a Sunday no less.
Time is of the essence in an acute injury so I was very grateful that Lucas was able to see me. He got to work right away with his needles and moxa. I started to relax knowing I was in good hands. I was in a lot of pain with a hugely swollen and stiff knee. Right away the heat from the moxa and needles made my knee feel better. As soon as I got up from the table, my knee had drastically improved range of motion and reduced pain!
I saw Lucas every other day for a week. I really wanted to get better as soon as possible because I was out of work due to my injury. It was so amazing to experience a great improvement with each and every treatment. I had been in extreme pain and could barely walk, and in a very brief period of time I began to heal.
It“s been six weeks s since the injury and I am now back to my regular routine and can walk without a limp. Had I not been able to see Lucas right away and get treatment I am not sure I would have improved so quickly.

Lucas is knowledgable, attentive, and thoughtful. A really great acupuncturist and fantastic herbalist.

This review is for acupuncture: Lukas is magical! The environment at East Winds is serene and relaxing. Lukas is gentle, caring and intuitive. I feel better immediately. I’ve seen a number of acupuncturists in San Francisco (where I live), but my experience with Lukas at East Winds has been my best anywhere. I always come when I’m in town!

I’ve been seeing Lucas for a couple months now and I am thrilled with my results. I have back pain/​tension and I work with my hands and was starting to experience the beginning of carpal tunnel pains. Lots of cramping and shooting pains. I see Lucas once a week and he has done more for my back/​my migraines than anyone before has been able to do and has really helped my hands and arms so that I rarely feel pain while working or after work. Plus he is knowledgable about his practice and has a great calming energy about him that makes everything very comfortable. My dad sees him once a week and has also had great results. Lucas seems to be really good at knowing what your particular body needs to feel good:) I highly recommend him if you suffer from any body pain!

Lucas has been a great help! His formulas have really helped me get back on track.

I have been receiving acupuncture from Lucas for a while. All have been related to pain management and healing. My most recent visit was for a severe neck strain caused by jujitsu training. I could not move my head or sleep without pain. After my relaxing appointment I was able to move my neck better and with less pain. The next day was even better. Today I’m almost at 90%. The point being is that I’m progressively getting better and in a lot less time than it usually takes. Thanks Lucas!

I’ve been going to Lucas now for a few months, and he’s been great! Kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He doesn’t make me feel rush. What an asset! Highly recommended!

I’ve been doing acupuncture for a few years and started going to Lucas a few months ago. I have to say that he is the best yet. He is so knowledgable and detailed. He never rushes and is truly interested in getting to the root of the issue rather than making a «quick fix.»
He has innovative methods that I had not yet been exposed to for my ongoing back and neck issues. With him, I have had fewer visits with longer lasting results.
Five stars well deserved!

East Wind Herbs and accupuncture welcomes you with a calm, private zen garden atmosphere, located within a tiny tea shop. If you go, expect an accupuncture session tailored to your changing health needs with an experienced Chinese MD.
Lucas always listens well, (I present with a new sprain or injury every other week!) his work has been extremely helpful, and I feel dramatic results almost immediately. Speaking from the perspective of a physically active person who has experienced dramatically positive changes in both shoulder pain reduction and shoulder flexibility and balance post injury/​operation, I reccommend that you check East Wind out.

Lucas is amazing. Best acupuncture experience in San Diego. Random but amazing tea selection as well

Initially I was pretty skeptical about acupuncture, but with chronic lower back pain, treated only with ibuprofen from my PCP, I decided to give it a try. Result? Best decision to date, and one I wish I would have made earlier. Each visit has me leaving feeling incredibly refreshed and calm, but most importantly, pain-​free. Lucas is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring, tailoring each session to provide the best and most effective treatment that week. Whether you’re experiencing physical pain or anxiety, or just plain curious about acupuncture, I would highly recommend East Wind Herbs and Acupuncture.

I stumbled upon East Wind Herbs and Acupuncture by accident. I was visiting the tea shop in which East Wind is located on a recommendation by some friends. the whole vibe of what I would consider a wellness center is refreshingly relaxing and non pretentious. I noticed they did acupuncture in the back, which is where Lucas’ office is located. I had been suffering from headaches for about two years. Every day for no apparent reason I would feel a slight pressure build up and erupt in a stabbing pain in my temple and or behind my eye. I had seen a Doctor who gave me a scan and concluded that nothing was wrong with me and prescribed medication to take indefinitely. I would go through a large bottle of Advil about once a month. I also tried a chiropractor because I thought my spine may be out of alignment, thus causing my headaches, which didn’t seem to produce the desired results. I had heard about acupuncture but didn’t know where to start or who would be good, or if it would be affective. The overall vibe of the tea shop made me want to give it a try, not to mention great prices and the personal touch associated with this business. I really didn’t know what to expect, the whole experience was refreshing to say the least, but that’s not the best part. I experienced an 80% improvement in my headaches after the first session, as of now my headaches are almost completely gone and it has been 2 weeks (two treatments). I always hoped that one day I could study or read, or sit in a crowded restaurant without developing a headache, and now I can. I highly recommend giving Lucas a shot and visiting the Tea shop If you are suffering.

Lucas is awesome!
I see him every week for acupuncture and he has helped me with everything from severe neck pain to plain old stress.
He is very knowledgeable, centered and attentive. I always leave feeling much better than when I walked in.
Lucas is also an amazing herbalist and he has a huge stock of Chinese herbs and teas in house.
I highly recommend seeing him.

I’ve sought Lucas for two issues I’ve had. One was for pain in my right arm (from typing so much). The other because I was clinching and grinding me teeth at night.
Lucas listens. Lucas really looks into YOU and knows how to help. His vast experience and knowledge helped him diagnose and treat me. After a few sessions I can gladly say I’m a new man. I listened to his advice and my life has changed because of it.
Mr. Hausler is a great man and I honestly recommend him from the bottom of my heart.

My husband and I have been going to Lucus for the past 3 years for just about everything. He’s helped my husband with his knee problems and has helped me get rid of my eczema and my cramping during my cycle. Lucas’s knowledge about Chinese Medicine combined with his exquisite intuition makes him a phenomenal practitioner! His acupuncture Is gentle and effective and although his herbs smell a little strange, they work so well! I highly reccomend East Wind to anyone looking for an alternative approach to health and wellness!
