About

I am Douglas Eisenstark L.Ac. (licensed acupuncturist, California). I have have been practicing for almost 30 years with a special interest in herbs. I have my own clinic West Los Angeles and have taught at Emperors College and YoSan University.

Eagleherbs was started by Al Stone around 2005. Al was a graduate of Emperors College and a student of Professor Tiande Yang who was a master of herbs.  Al started a “store-front” herb store and then began selling herbs on gancao.net which itself was an outgrowth of the first acupuncture website Acupuncture.com.

It was the beginning of Google and search engines and for many years, Eagleherbs was #1 on searchs for anything to do with Chinese medicine formulas. Sigh… sadly our search presence has been wiped out by paid ads and big companies who can afford to push their way up in the rankings. So I applaud you for having found us.

In 2013 Al began having health problems and he asked me to take over “his baby”, Eagleherbs. When he passed away he passed it on to me.

We have endeavored to keep the same values and sell directly to consumers.

I am proud to have joined a tradition of herbs and acupuncture that have been used in Asia for thousands of years. I teach at local schools and has also undergone advanced clinical training overseas, first in the Chinese Medical University in Shanghai and then twice at the City Traditional Hospital in Beijing. I have had experience working at the Turnabout Acupuncture Center for Addictions, and supervising students at the LA Free Clinic and the Venice Family Clinic. People tell me I am a “go-to-person” about Chinese Herbs and Chronic Hepatitis C and have taught many classes on the subject to other acupuncturists in Los Angeles. I teach and supervise in the clinics of Emperors College and YoSan Universities in Los Angeles, CA.
