Center for Chinese Medicine

The Center for Chinese Medicine is the practice of Ken Bendat, L.Ac., a US-licensed acupuncturist with decades of clinical experience and training in the United States and China. Grounded in classical Chinese medicine, the practice focuses on understanding underlying health patterns and supporting the body’s healing processes. Ken treats acute and chronic pain, respiratory and immune concerns, allergies, fatigue, insomnia, and digestive, metabolic, and hormonal conditions.

Services include acupuncture and individualized Chinese herbal medicine. Custom formulas are prepared as granules, capsules, or bulk herbs, according to each client’s needs. The practice also offers online herbal consultations and telehealth appointments by Zoom or Messenger. Herbs can be shipped directly to clients in the United States, while Ken works internationally and develops seasonal clinical collaborations in Asia.

Based in Ashland, Oregon, the Center provides year-round remote consultations alongside its clinical work. Its website features appointment and contact information, testimonials, educational resources on Chinese herbs, diet, pediatrics, and Daoism, as well as newsletters sharing practice updates and travel news.
