I have been visiting Lorna for over a year. Having had meningitis twice my body was at all all time…read morelow in terms of mental and physical health. I had no energy at all and had been unable to keep working. Afriend recommended me to Lorna. I liked the idea of my body working to heal itself and the fact that acupuncture did not require me to take any medication at all. I went with an open mind and did not know what to expect. My energy levels and mental health began to improve after 4 weeks and has gradualy improved so much that I am probably in the best health in years. Any other problems that I have had since going have also been improved or solved with Lorna's help. I would recommend it to anyone whether you believe in it or not.

I had suffered from whiplash and neck pain for several years after a riding accident and nothing…read moremuch seemed to relieve it. Luckily I found Judy and her combined massage and acupuncture treatment has really helped me and my neck is now pain free. As well as helping with pain relief Judy's treatments promote a general feeling of well-being and stress relief that leaves you feeling totally relaxed. These treatments really work and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Excellent service and results. After intense pain for weeks…read moreand very strong painkillers I decided to try something else. GP diagnosis was different from Dr Zhu's diagnosis and proceeded to treat with different treatment. 1st session of acupuncture was at least 75% less pain on leaving the surgery and stopped all the strong pain relief and this has eased further over the last few weeks. Only had about 5% residual pain in the evenings and light analgesic medication. 2nd session after 3 weeks and I can clench my hand again and no tender places on the hand either. Highly recommended.

I would highly recommend Dr Zhu's clinic to anybody who is looking for an effective alternative to…read morewestern medicine. I visited Dr Zhu's clinic mainly because I had a stomach virus that needed immediate attention, but also to have him examine a recurring pain in my back. Before going to Dr Zhu for treatment I visited my GP with the stomach complaint, the GP was unsure what was exactly wrong with me, but he thought it was perhaps either a bacterial or viral infection. However, the medication he prescribed agitated my stomach and put me through greater pain. A friend suggested I visit Dr Zhu's traditional Chinese medical centre as they had a positive experience in the past. Dr Zhu was able to ease the pain I was feeling in my stomach almost immediately using a combination of Chinese herbal medication and acupuncture. The pain in my lower back was the result of an old work acquired injury from several years ago; the pain gives me difficulty sleeping at night. After the Dr gave me a treatment of acupuncture, cupping, massage and osteopathy; the muscle on my lower back wasn't as tense and I was able to sleep the whole night. I will definitely be going back to Dr Zhu's clinic for follow up treatment. In the future I will go to Dr Zhu for a consultation for general health advice.

Janie reduced my joint pain by 90% in just one session! I have an arthritic hip and knee and…read moreendured this past year in constant pain walking with a limp. I saw various professionals in 2017 (incl. doctor, physiotherapist, chiropractor) with no lasting improvement. Janie really makes a difference! She is kind, experienced and intuitive in her work. As an osteopath, she had to advise me to consider a hip and knee replacement, yet equally respects my wish to avoid surgery. Working with me on this, she made a monthly treatment plan supported with daily specific exercises. In addition, she is a trained Cranio-sacral practitioner (gentle hands-on treatment, a form of deep tissue healing) which has a powerful effect on me. Janie moved to beautiful Eastbourne just 2 years ago and has (I believe ) a promising career here. A gifted Osteopath, I can only recommend her highly. With best wishes, Lisa. (January 2018)

Herbs & Acupuncture did a great job of helping my husband recover from a motorbike accident a few…read moreyears ago. After the accident my husband spent 6 months off from work with terrible back and leg pain, numerous visits to Physiotherapy and Doctors had little relief so we looked at having Acupuncture. His first visits were to the Strood branch which closed one week without any notice or cancellation of appointments and he was reluctant to carry on as it didn't appear to make any difference (apart from the brief relief during treatment) but we looked up another anyway and so glad we did. They suggested Massage alongside the Acupuncture and went through everything with us beforehand. They recommended some additional products to use at home as well us advising how and where extra massage / stimulation should be done too. Within a couple of months there was a huge difference. Where's before my husband couldn't even sit for any period of time without immense pain he was now able to do light activities. It wasn't cheap though and appointments were every week to start but we eventually got it down to every 3, treatment here went on for around a year and since emigrating 9 months ago he has not had any further treatment and the problem hasn't returned! At times we did feel they were a little pushy with having us buy extra products but they did actually help so I guess they were just doing what was best for my husband. If anybody is contemplating going here I would say ''go for it''. They did a great job and I finally got my fully functioning husband back!
