I'm giving high marks to this charming little storefront for its great selection and informative,…read morefriendly service from the staff member on duty. She carefully answered every question I had and promised to call me back for the one question she didn't know. They have a great variety of herbs in various forms (loose, powdered, tinctures etc.) and package your dried herb purchases in cute little sealable paper bags that are neatly labelled. The staff member assured me that herbs were either organic or wildcrafted and that they were fresh since the owner buys only small amounts at a time. This was good to know. I bought some coarsely ground Stevia leaf and I may come back for Dandelion root. The only thing keeping this from a 5 star review is that I have yet to test the quality of the herbs myself.

Needles may not be pleasant for everyone but Kelly is very patient and gentle when it comes to ensuring you are comfortable and well taken care of. You can also take advantage of his (and his father's) many years of expertise in Chinese Medicine and fill your herbal prescriptions on site. Each treatment/service is also a lot more affordable compared to other clinics I've been to! This family owned and operated business has been a trusted source for acupuncture and traditional medicine for many locals (English, Cantonese, Vietnamese, and Mandarin speaking) over the past few decades. If you're looking for an acupuncturist with RMT/tuina experience-- I highly recommend visiting this clinic!

The range of choices is great (e.g., they don't just offer one kind of Vitamin B12--it depends on exactly what you need). They also have expensive and more affordable options.

The clinic has such a nice, light, zen vibe to it. I booked an appointment because of a pinched nerve in my back that was excruciatingly painful. Simon fixed the issue with a couple of treatments. He really takes his time and listens to my concerns. What surprised me the most was that I was suffering from an unrelated (ladies) issue for years that had gone undiagnosed. One of the pressure points triggered the issue, which explained it was back related. Again, so many years every month with this issue now finally resolved. I'm very grateful to have this clinic in South Etobicoke. It's also a plus that Simon does direct billing. Please consider supporting this local business.

I hate a horrendous and unprofessional experience with Dr. Sheena Wu here. Dr. Wu felt very…read moreinexperienced right from the start. The only way I can explain it, was that it felt like I was her first ever patient. For example - she asked me all the possible allergies I might have, running through this whole list of allergens, even though I said I am only allergic to Penicillin. It felt like I was being interviewed by a student. I only came in for IV Immune therapy. I have had immune therapy many times. I have also seem excellent Naturopaths in the past. Following the awkward intake, I carefully instructed Dr. Wu that I required a butterfly needle as my veins sometimes will collapse with a regular catheter. Dr. Wu then inserted the needle in my arm and went right through my vein, she painfully inserted the fluid into my system instead of the vein. She realized she had made a ridiculous mistake and then pulled the needle out and while inspecting and talking to me about what happened or what could happen, she kept then pressing on the bleeding area. Never offered me a band aid. The whole experience was incredibly uncomfortable and a waste of my time. I left having never received the therapy and my arm is in extreme pain, swollen and bruised now.
