My Practice
Traditional Chinese medicine for chronic and unresolved conditions.
For over 38 years, many people who have sought my assistance have been living with chronic health conditions that remained unresolved through conventional approaches.
Traditional Chinese medicine views most health concerns as merely symptoms of deeper underlying imbalances within the body.
An initial visit includes a diagnostic evaluation based on the principles of classical Chinese medicine. Once patterns of imbalance are identified, an individualized treatment plan is developed.
Once the underlying imbalance is corrected, then the symptom — one’s health problem — has no reason to continue, and is resolved.
Treatment focuses on restoring balance and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal.
Many people seek my help after struggling with chronic conditions for years. Even chronic problems can be successfully resolved once the underlying imbalance is addressed.
Common problems I treat
- Respiratory Disorders: Asthma (child and adult)
- Digestive problems: All kinds, including chronic constipation, chronic diarrhea, ulcerative colitis.
- Immune System Disorders: Pediatricians refer children who get frequent colds.

Bernard Unterman
I have spent over 38 years exploring healing through the practice of classical Chinese medicine, acupuncture, essential oils, and community teaching.
My work focuses on helping people with chronic and unresolved health conditions by identifying the underlying imbalances that contribute to illness and restoring the body’s ability to heal itself.
In addition to my private practice in Santa Barbara, I have spent decades teaching self-care and healing practices to both community and professional audiences.
My work draws from traditional Chinese medicine, cross-cultural healing traditions, and years of study in China, México, Perú, and beyond.
