About Andrew Wells

I reside and have my medical practice in the little community of Crestline located in the San Bernardino Mountains which are 70 miles east of Los Angeles, California. 

I am licensed by the Acupuncture Medical Board of California as well as nationally (N.C.C.A.O.M.) in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology. I  graduated from SAMRA University in Los Angeles, California (1997) at the top of my class, and I have been treating patients since my graduation.

In addition to my degree in Chinese herbology, my experiences of nutrition, supplements and herbs extends  back well over 30 years with Western Herbalism being one of the original roots. I became interested in healing herbs as a young man in my twenties. I frequented herb shops in New York City where I lived at that time and I knew then that I wanted to help people to regain and maintain their health through herbal medicine. 

Prior to attending acupuncture college, I extensively studied Ayurvedic Medicine and worked as a counselor in this discipline. Ayurveda is the science of Vedic medicine and is the oldest medical discipline in the world. Chinese medicine actually has it roots in Ayurveda. I now integrate Ayurveda into my current consultations and treatments.

While addressing all aspects of Oriental Medicine, I specialize in emotional disorders, women’s health, degenerative diseases/immune dysfunction, pain management, digestive disorders and rejuvenation. Rejuvenation really addresses much more than cosmetology. I  believe that rejuvenation should be at the core of all treatment. We don’t just want to treat ‘a disease process’, but vitalize and reenergize the well-being of the person. In fact, Ayurveda devotes an entire branch of its healing to such Rejuvenation, known as Rasayana, the ‘path of sap.’

“It’s all about balancing the elements, the energies, the substances, the emotive flavors. I seek to illuminate these and then address that nature’s disharmony with every possible modality. At it’s best, the treatment process becomes an energetic alchemy where the practitioner and client can enter into a single healing space”.

May you have the blessing of good health,
