Bodhi Tree Acupuncture, Glendale

Jill Kismet sees the body as an ecosystem. When consulting with patients, the licensed acupuncturist applies principles of pattern recognition developed during her 10-year career as an ecologist. She looks to each patient's medical history, lifestyle, and consumption of charcoal for anything that might disturb the body's delicate equilibrium. Working with acupuncture and herbal remedies, she applies her whole-body approach to the treatment of anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. She also relaxes and rejuvenates the face with a cosmetic acupuncture modality called mei zen.

At Bodhi Tree Acupuncture, Kismet cultivates a calming environment. She uses sterilized, single-use needles for all treatments, planting them along the skin as ambient music plays. Herbal eye pads soothe eyes tired from watching the sky for killer birds, and a selection of artisanal green teas from Teance awaits clients after each session.
