Ila is not only a gifted acupuncturist and herbalist, she is also compassionate, patient, contemplative, and incredibly caring - she has all the qualities that make her an exceptional healer. I came to her a mess; with post- mastectomy nerve pain, a painful knee from surgery 40 years earlier, and a host of stomach complaints. She spent hours with me, delving into the what, whens, and whys of these ailments. She listened; she researched; she understood! Ila developed a plan of acupuncture, simple lifestyle modifications, and an herbal formula specific to me. Under her guidance, I began to feel better. And then I kept feeling better! After years of just assuming it was my lot in life, I am no longer a slave to my aches, pains, lethargy, and depression. I highly, highly recommend Ila Jhaveri. read more

Dr. Ila's medicine and lifestyle advice has changed the course of my health significantly over just a few months. Before receiving treatment from her, I was struggling with severe topical steroid withdrawal from my eczema. My skin disorder has been a lifelong condition that has always made regular life difficult, but since February when I first spoke with her my skin has made major improvements. On top of her power in medicine, Dr. Ila has been incredibly kind and patient during my treatment and I am so grateful to have found her! She has gone above and beyond in asking lots of questions and making sure I am comfortable. Thanks to her I also understand the reasons behind every lifestyle change and have become better at tracking my own health. Remain open-minded and listening to her when she speaks on energy and its part in healing us. I had to put down a lot of food and activities I once enjoyed in order for the herbs to work properly. It was difficult but it has made all the difference in my healing. Thank you Dr. Ila! read more

She moved onto my property, hooked up unauthorized phones, and refused to leave, she put horrible herbs on my legs that caused me to be hospitalized Avoid her, read more

Ila made a transformative difference for my health as a new mother. I first started seeing Ila when we were trying to get pregnant, and I loved her refreshing approach of supporting me to first get my overall health optimal and in balance. Through not only acupuncture and herbs, but also some recommendations on how to change my diet and remove a couple foods I didn't realize were contributing to allergies and inflammation--her care supported me to feel the healthiest I had in years. Within a couple months, we found ourselves pregnant. As we were nearing the time of birth, Ila shared with me and my husband about traditional Chinese recipes for supporting mother's health and recovery in the critical weeks after birth. She supported us to put together a meal plan and we prepared recipes in advance, as well as stocking up our freezer with key ingredients. This food made an enormous difference in my recovery. Every time I ate one of the meals, I instantly felt a huge boost to my energy, strength, and also to my mood. I am sure the this food also helped to make my breastfeed the best it could be for our son. I am so thankful to have the incredible support of Ila as a healer. read more

Now servicing the North Shore area! I've always heart about acupuncture and Chinese medicine but never had the courage to go. As I get older, I definitely want to focus my attention on taking care of myself with natural treatments. I turned to Yelp to search for places around my area, I was a little discouraged that many places are located in the town area. I heard about Ila Jhaveri from a friend and I decided to reach out to her even though her Yelp said she was located in town. I called and left her a message (figuring she was with a client). She returned my call later that evening. We spoke for a bit to work out a time and place that was convenient for both of our schedules. She did mention that was starting to work out of Haleiwa. We came to a date and time that worked for both of us. Prior to meeting up, she asked if I could complete a questionnaire form. If you are new to acupuncture, please be very thorough when filling out the form. EVERYTHING happens for a reason and if she is aware of it, the better she can provide treatment for you. When I met Ila for my scheduled appointment, we spent a lot of time going through my form with her asking to elaborate more to better understand. She is very thorough with the entire appointment and her aura is very calming and relaxing. There was a lot of information that she provided and we scheduled another appointment time for the following week. Fast-forward to the next appointment - At this appointment we began by discussing anything new or if changes that were made. Results of those changes and any additional things to try. She then began the process of inserting the acupuncture needles. If you don't like needles, do not watch her insert them. Also try taking deep breaths during the process and relax our body. With all new experiences, you start slow then work your way up. Ila takes that same approach. She believes it being about the journey to the destination that makes the difference. I love this journey that she and I are taking. I always look forward to my next appointment! Know before you go: - Use the restroom prior to arriving at your appointment - Have an open mind (she will talk about Qi (chi), Yin and Yang, and other Chinese medicine references) - Cash or Check (NO CARD) read more

My family has been seeing Ila for 1 month and we are new to Chinese medicine and acupuncture. I am so impressed with Ila's skill and knowledge, temperament and attention. I feel alive after taking the regime of Chinese herbs 3x a day. I feel unexplainably happy after every acupuncture session. Whilst we initially started to visit Ila for my son's allergies both my wife and I have since enlisted Ila to make us healthy as well. In one week my son saw a dramatic decrease in sniffles and coughing, which had gone unsolved for 2 years. I credit Ila's recommended herbs/medicines as well as her lifestyle advice. Thank you so much Ila!!! read more

Ila is a healer, if you're thinking about trying acupuncture...see her! She's truly amazing and caring about getting you better to live a pain free life. I've had multiple back issues diagnosed and couldn't even turn my head when I first arrived crying at her doorstep. I've tried every western medicine approach to my back pain like spinal nerve block shots, steroid injections, living on muscle relaxers and ibuprofen. Since she started treating me with the herbs she makes specifically for me and acupuncture I haven't taken any medication for two months now and haven't felt better in years. So grateful to have found this gem is on the north shore! Thank you ILA! read more

Ila is a very communicative, patient and compassionate practitioner of acupuncture and Chinese medicine overall. She is a great listener on many levels and has personally helped me relieve tension/pain with acupuncture sessions. Being an avid daily yoga practitioner, I have had places in my hips, legs and back which have tightened in certain regards to natural phases (and past over zealousness) of yoga practice. She has greatly given me a counterpart medium to alleviate this particular stress on my body physically and energetically. My hips even relaxed so much that I was able to more comfortable bring my foot over and behind my head which is a very, very deep hip rotation to be executed properly & safely. I can not say enough good things about her kindness and impeccable demeanor, WISDOM, and devotion to her clientele. She has such a giving, altruistic nature putting the people she works with first and foremost for the purpose of their own healing & benefit. Thank you Ila for coming into my life :) read more

Ila is very good at her craft! I went there after seeing a pamphlet at a doctor's office and decided to try and address my condition via an alternative eastern medicine approach. She is able to provide accurate acupuncture by placing needles in the exact locations and did not go overboard by placing way too many needles. She then supplemented those efforts with the right mixture of medicinal herbs. After regular visits, the reasons I visited her were eventually addressed. Even my husband ended up getting some treatment from her and it appears she helped him too! Lastly, Ila is personable and very caring, so it made visits that much more enjoyable! read more

Ila is an excellent herbalist. I was diagnosed with adenomyosis which is blood stagnation with severe pain and irregular menstrual cycles. Ila was able to help me flush out the stagnant blood using herbs. Ila is very thorough and detailed in her work. She took her time in diagnosing me and put together over 15 herbs for my specific needs. read more

Ila is a warm and intuitive healer. I initially came to her for hip and shoulder pain, due to arthritis and probably stress and felt immediate relief. She thoroughly explained her process and made it easy for me to understand. After acupuncture treatments my eyes even felt clearer and brighter and my entire system, refreshed. I also feel nourished with the herbs she combines for me. read more

I started seeing Ila in 2012. It was my first experience with acupuncture and I hate needles. Ila is gentle and gave me great advice on how make the experience relaxing. She is a knowledgeable and Wholistic healer, she cares not only about your physical illness but also your emotional and spiritual well-being. She not only treats the symptoms but the originating cause. In my experience this past 4 years, she has always been generous, giving and caring. She has helped my with a variety of complaints, from sinus discomfort to sore back and hot flashes. On my last visit, on 3/31/2016, I woke up with UTI, the urgency and burning sensation was unbearable. I didn't think I could last the acupuncture session. Ila put in the needles and the urgency stopped immediately! She also gave herbs to help flush out the infection. The burning sensation was also gone! I took the herbs for 3 days to ensure the UTI was gone. Thank you, Ila! read more
