  Dr.Karma is wonderful. He is a true healer. I had a chronic condition that I was referred to for surgery, but I opted to work with Dr.Karma first and see if I can clear the disease without it - and I healed in 6 months with his tonics and treatments. He is a hidden gem in our community!

  Dr. Karma is FANTASTIC. He's my healer. I've suffered with injuries on my right hip and leg since 2018 plus my system has been all out of wack. The regular doctors and physical therapy only helped to manage the pain. Dr.Karma is going to the source and healing my injuries and my system. I'm very grateful to Dr.Karma and I'm glad we are on this journey together.
I also have been taking his herbal solutions and they've done wonders for my system.
I had a lot of inflammation in my body. Especially around my neck under my chin. It had been swollen for over a year. Again regular doctors either didn't care or didn't understand what was going on. After the 1st session the swelling went down by 70 % it was amazing  I looked like myself again.
Thank you  Dr. Karma I so appreciate your talents as a healer.
Oh , and for those who haven't had acupuncture before, I've been to other acupuncturists and Dr. Karma by far is the best. It never hurts. Very relaxing  I wish I had known about Dr. Karma in 2018. I would have come to him right after my injuries and saved myself three years of pain.

Thank you  again, Dr. Karma

  I came to Dr. Karma after being diagnosed with severe anxiety. I had seen 4 doctors who all told me to take Zoloft- as this was the only way I was going to get better. I decided this was not the route I wanted to take. Thankfully, I found Dr. Karma on Yelp. His treatments have made a huge difference for me. From day 1- I started to feel a bit more like myself again. It's been 4 months now- and I feel SO much better. I went from severe insomnia to restful sleep at night. From panic attacks to enjoying a happy, normal life. I did not take the Zoloft. I'm taking Dr. Karma's herbal supplements instead. Some of which are not at all pleasant tasting, but the results are truly worth it. My boyfriend saw how much the treatments have done for me and is a patient now as well. I can not recommend Dr. Karma enough!

  how much progress we have made from the first 6 weeks of our time together dr. karma!!! I am forever grateful for your wisdom, nurturing soul, and for setting me on the path to success. you have been nothing short of a miracle in my life. reading my initial review when we were just getting started on the 4-6 month protocol, it's crazy to think how many symptoms I was dealing with, i feel distant from these symptoms now, i no longer struggle in life to "hold on", i feel more alive than ever before, i have clarity and I can do more with less side effects. Dr. Karma has become more like family to my fiancé and I over the course of such a short period of time, I can't stress enough how grateful I am to have you in my life on this healing journey. I stayed focused on Dr. Karma's daily protocol of Hemoglobin (i had major major blood deficiency), Fibro (cleared my brain fog, helped with thyroid issues, headaches, energy levels, I have reduced the daily use of this because I rarely have these symptoms anymore), lipothn (inflammation, bloating, fighting off infections, overall toxicity in the body) and hepacure (great for hangovers, I can now drink again! and most importantly to support my liver, from birth control I became extremely estrogen dominant, and this helped clear these estrogens out).  I was concerned with how to fix the thyroid, adrenals, hormone imbalance, cholesterol issues, he works on these synergistically and he can feel your energy, he can see what you need, and he addresses these at each visit... he just knows and you have to trust him and take his advise. he's also brought up a lot of my physiology and psychology and how this is also a large factor into my prior health issues, he guides you along the way to release those things that do not serve you and to feel less stressed about your symptoms and more focused on the good, which helped me get out of the rut of thinking that my symptoms would always stay present. i am working more than i have these last 6 years, after a  2 week photoshoot my energy felt depleted and as though a couple of my symptoms were starting to show face again, he already knew this by just looking at me, and told me what I need to do to make sure that i am supporting my body at times of high stress so that I am capable of executing the tasks and coming out with only minor affects of it. I've learned that my body is sensitive to stress too, and how to be conscious of not setting off triggers. he said i may have another roller coaster at some point in my life, but this will be much less time, i will bounce back much quicker and it'll be more manageable and he believes and so do I that I will never be back in that place that I was for 6 years. it took just over 6 months to get to where I am, i think because i was struggling for so long, it took longer for my body to work through and come out the other end. he taught me a great exercise which is on his website, it helps to circulate my blood and i do this exercise every other day, my legs feel super lose and my whole body radiates energy through it, followed by walking 5 miles a day (I couldn't do this in 6 years!!!). I am treated for acupuncture a few times a week, and I now have my fiancé working on a few of his needs with Dr. Karma. High Recommend Dr. Karma!!!!

  I had a sudden back issue resulting in 3 herniated discs. I have had no relief which caused me immense mental anguish. I went on muscle relaxers and steroids but it was only a bandaid. After a lot of research, I found Dr. Mukunda Karma. After one session with Mukunda, I was able to walk again. I have a lot of healing to go but I am on the right track. I am so happy I found someone who could give me ongoing care and treatment. He explained everything thoroughly and had a nice clean office. I am now a strong believer in acupuncture. Thank you, Mukunda for your incredible care.

  Dr. K is a kind and thorough practitioner. He truly cares about his patients. On the first appointment, he listened to my particular case for more than an hour, amazing!He not only listened but asked poignant questions, all in order to help us find some of the potential root causes of my symptoms... physical exhaustion, stress and others.
At the end of the appointment, we developed a plan that I was comfortable with that included twice per month acupuncture sessions as well as some herbal supplements. Important to also mention that he was very respectful of the supplements I was already taking. Within a couple of days of the first sessions and taking the herbal medicines, I can feel my body in a much better state!
All and all, you know you're in good caring hands in his care.

  A bit pricy, but as I am a firm believer that health is wealth and without your health you have nothing, I was willing to cough up the change. In retrospect, the price that Dr Karma charges is very slight for the value he delivers in his practice; he's had decades of valuable and worldly experience, he is very knowledgeable and insightful on the intricacies of the human body and what fundamentally caters to its smooth functioning. Don't expect to come in with out having to alter your diet and discontinue eating  the things we all know better than to consume (I had to look critically at my sugar addiction, and kick the habit) too much of if you sincerely want long lasting results. He is trustworthy and honest and delivers what I see as consistently great work. Definitely the best functional medicine doctor on the west side that I've met!

  I love Dr. Karma.  Definitely helped me heal my liver and gallbladder and kidneys after the hospital released me and told me I was fine.  He educates his patients and is a genuine healer.  I am so thankful I got the chance to work with him.

  So so grateful to have been introduced to Dr. Karma and his medicines. I had chronic auto-immune issues for as long as I could remember -- specifically relating to Lyme disease 8 years ago.

I have tried pretty much every supplement on the planet, and have never found any consistent shifts in symptoms.

Within a few weeks of taking dr. Karmas herbal medicines for the liver and the kidneys, I felt significantly better. My digestion was better, my mood was better and people kept commenting on how great I was looking. I started to realize that my lymph was being cleaned and the puffiness in my neck and my face that I had become used to was disappearing and definition was coming back.

It sounds like a small thing -- but it was deeply representative of my whole system healing and I am so so grateful. As I said, I have spent fifteen years at least trying to feel better physically and have tried SOOOO many things. This was the first very obvious and tangible shifts, both internally and externally.

Thank you so much Dr. Karma. I am so happy to have found you and want the whole world to receive your healing gifts. It is life changing.

  I googled Santa Monica acupuncturists   my Rheumatologist had been telling me  everything I described to her  sounds energy related and does not fit into a western med model.  It was on the heels of  2 months   in and out of the er with variant symptoms. I really was fighting to survive. Sometimes I would stop breathing for long bits of time.  The er didnt help they didn't know what to do.  I had a wave of dizziness spinning ,difficulty  to talk ,difficulty breathing and horrible nerve pain and burning and spasms in my whole spine.
 When I began reading  about Karma Holistic Center a RAY OF GOLDEN SUN directed at my heart and warmed it. I have had mystical experiences before and I have allowed myself to be guided by them in the past with much delight and success.  I  called right away and told him my suffering he respected me and  took me seriously and  saw me right away even though it was a holiday.
Since I made the call to Dr Karma my reality  has been like the gradual cessation   of a horrible storm of  pain and suffering.
He has identified the problem  general toxicity of the body I have been able to minimize the drugs his herbs, massage  and accupuncture.
He has also given me the best council   on my   relationships, life dreams and direction. I have had over thirty years of council.
He is knowledgeable about Western Med and Holistic and alternative massage/ energy healing. He has given me hope and his demeanor is warm and healing.
I knew the moment we met we had a destiny and it was a bright one. I had been looking for help like this for a long time. I am enjoying our healing together and he has a bright vision for me which means the world to me. i researched one of the medications I had been on all of those preceding years and it can make you sick and crazy.  I am investing in  healing and my spiritual destiny ibeILIEve  is to not suffer anymore. DR Karma is helping me make that a reality for me.

Dr. Karma is an excellent acupuncturist and I will recommend him to all my; friends and relatives. He took the time to hear my health problems and examined me with precision. Also his needles and the way he inserts them are absolutely painless. I’ve had neck, head and back pain. Also, I have experienced itchiness and extreme fatigue. I take HepaCtn which takes care of all these problems coupled with the acupuncture. Further, it also has helped with weight loss. With regards to all who suffer from the common cold, Dr. Karma’s CapaCtn is excellent for acting as a nasal decongestant, sniffling and flu-like symptoms.

In my early teen years I began to have digestion issues. Eventually it led to constant colds and sinus infections until I started developing signs of mono. I was exhausted and constantly felt weak, dizzy with trouble concentrating. I had an irregular cycle and my mood swings were becoming worse and worse. I was quickly falling into a state of depression. My eating habits were also affected. I no longer had an appetite for food because I couldn’t digest anything properly. My face was pale and I felt constantly bloated. I had dark circles permanently engraved under my eyes and my eyes had sunk deep into my head. I never had any acne problems but now I had broken out. Worst of all I had trouble sleeping because I was constantly dealing with nightmares. Not only was I changing physically but emotionally as well. I had negative thoughts constantly. I could no longer control my emotions as I would cry instantly for no reason. As an elite athlete [...]

Dear Dr. Karma, I wish to express my extreme gratitude for your therapy. Considering the fact that I came to you with Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, insomnia, and severe immune system and Lung Congestion problems for over 10 years; and tendon tears in my hand and hip for 6 years, it is amazing all that you have done for me. I now have enough energy to do all my old activities and more. My skin is glowing and I feel very healthy inside and out. My musculature is without pain – to be out of pain is blessed! Your holistic SRT formula for the immune system and Lung Congestion formula (CapaCtn) have amazed me. They have made a true difference in my cardiovascular strength and fortitude. I feel like life is beginning again. Thank you again for such good care
