I developed a rash earlier this year in the spring and usually it goes away by summer, but this time it stuck around for 8 months. This was been a recurring event for the past 6 years since I was pregnant with my second. I saw two dermatologists in that time and none of their treatments worked. After a 10 minute discussion with Lisa, she was very confident my rash would be gone in 6 days and it did! This thing that I'd been battling for months was now gone. I appreciated the clarity of everything that was explained to me: the reason why my body was acting the way it did, to how I should cook her tea. I am so thankful to her and the others there who took care of me. read more

My husband goes here and I wanted to go and grab some teas. You have to make an appointment to see Lisa personally for an evaluation and recommendation of herbs so I will plan on doing that soon! The store is filled with herbs for really any ailments that you may have. It's a good starting point and I recommend you learn eastern medicine or have some sort of education on it prior to going so you know what to grab if shopping. read more

Lisa's Herbal Corporation - Traditional Chinese Medicine Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I get they were busy. But it was just depressing how clear it was they didn't want to help me, when I even called in advance to see, and they said that they *would* be able to help me figure out what I needed... but I'm glad they are here helping, as best they can, so many sick people to hopefully actually cure their diseases naturally. I got the sense that if you make an appointment with their dr Lisa, they'll be more thorough and even explain things and give dietary advice (no fried, spicy, inflammatory foods). She was out for the holidays though so I couldn't make an appointment to see her. I do think many of the herbs can be purchased elsewhere; some for cheaper, some not. Also, just a heads up - when I opened the Bravo Tea teabags they recommended that I bought, they were so tiny - it seemed like with hardly any herb in them - but measured out, it is a bit less than a full teaspoon, which is about what many herbalists recommend for most herbs. read more

09/28/22 - Today my wife and I went to a traditional Chinese herbologist to deal w/some on going medical problems my wife has been having. The western medicine hasn't resolved the issue that she has. We went to a picnic last Sunday w/several of my colleagues that have seen this doctor that have produced some outstanding results. One of my friends had the same issues my wife has and was cured by the herbal medicines doctor Lau prescribed for her. We went to her business @ 2802 S Wentworth today to have a consultation w/Dr Lisa Lau. The business is in a storefront that has all sorts of herbal teas and other items. When we went in we were asked to fill out a form w/the ailments that were the reason for our visit. After filling out the form we were in an area waiting for our turn. While waiting I wandered around the store perusing the items. I saw a lot of drawers behind a counter & was asking questions. The guy working the counter is a family member. He told me there were over 400 different herbs that are customized to meet an individual's needs for their ailments unlike western medicine where one generic prescription is prescribed for all. Dr Lau also has a list of nutritional DO's & DON'Ts based on her When our turn came up we went in to Dr Laus office she asked some questions then held my wife's right hand & left hand and asked to see her tongue. Based on this Dr Lau was able to talk my wife a number of things that she was able to ascertain from her exam. She prescribed a treatment that is customized for every individual based on their particular ailments. I personally know 4 individuals that are all highly educated financial educators & I value their opinions as they have all seen remarkable results. This being said the jury is still out on how effective this mixture of herbs will be w/my wife's issues. Dr Lau is no fly by night flash in the pan. She is a 4th generation herbologist. Chinese medicine has been around for thousands of years way before western medicine. read more

Amazing herb store with herbalists Lisa and Phillip. This is located in a strip mall but it's so nice that multiple parking spaces are assigned to Lisa's customers. We made appointments but they also take walk-in customers. There are numerous herbs in display addressing various organ challenges. For example there is a combination of herbs serving as a kidney cleanse tea. Lisa is professional and to the point. She spends time explaining how the pulse symptoms correlate to the functioning of our various organs. Thereafter herbs are gathered, put into a bag with recommendations for their preparation and ingestion. Very impressive, but she comes from a lineage of herbalists and takes this very seriously. We shall see. read more

Visited and noted that Dr Lisa is very thorough with her first time customers. She really takes the time to understand their issues and then discusses in detail her recommendations for them. She measures pulse and looks at your tongue. The herbs prescribed are customized for the individual, smells pungent and was very effective for me. I am impressed by her expertise read more

Dr. Lisa Lau has been a godsend for my family and friends on several occasions. From the cream used on eczema break-outs and pretty much any skin issue, to specially crafted teas for specific ailments, and diet/lifestyle change suggestions. Most recently, Dr. Lisa came through when my mother's blood pressure was alarmingly high, even though she was taking the prescribed pharmaceutical drugs. We wanted a more natural (and effective) approach and scheduled her for a consultation. Dr. Lisa took her BP, checked her pulse, tongue, and eyes, then laid out her dietary guidelines and crafted a custom tea for regulating her blood pressure. Just a few days later, my mother's BP readings were within the desired range for the first time in the weeks since seeing her doctor! While the tea doesn't smell heavenly, and I'm sure it doesn't taste delicious, it has been effective in maintaining normal BP levels for my mother, and for that I am grateful! read more

Best place to go for skin issues aka Eczema. My wife's had this for the longest time. However it worsened a few weeks ago. We thought about going to a Western doctor initially, but later realized western medicine is pretty useless for things non-surgery related. Most times you go to the doctor, they just tell you to take some placebo pills, rest, or drink water. Utterly useless. All we did was buy the $30 cream and the detox tea and within 3-4 days, my wife's skin got noticeably better. This is the real deal. read more

if you listen to Lisa and follow the instructions making the herbal tea a part of your morning ritual, you will achieve the desired results. if you do not believe, if you are not consistent, you will not achieve optimal health benefits. My family have been going to Lisa for everything from Lupus, to sluggish liver, to imbalanced kidney function to inflammation throughout the body and now Covid. Go to Lisa. Talk to her. Listen to her. You will be healed. read more

I found Lisa to be helpful. Her special formula tea seemed to help me. They have every kind of herb imaginable.

Lisa seems to be a miracle worker. I traveled to Chicago to have her cure one illness that nobody in California could cure. Dr. in California was amazed at my recovery. If no one else is helping you, definitely, try Lisa. Linda Simpson ljsimpson@me.com Be glad to talk to you. read more

When I first came here I was a little hesitant just because of the pricing. I went in for my consultation & I was in and out within 10 minutes, I was really upset about that & thought I got scammed. Lisa just gave me an eczema cream, and some detox teas. Before Lisa I had constant flare ups every week. After using her cream my flare ups were gone, literally within a week my skin was clear. If you are going for an eczema consultation, I would honestly skip the consultation & save that money and just get the cream, just apply a super thick layer !!! And you'll see improvement right away, LITERALLY. read more

I have visited Dr.Lusa Low many years ago for shell gush allergies and the teas she has recommended and prescribed has been the answer to my allergies. I highly recommend her to everyone. read more

This has been a family go to for herbal prescribed teas . They have a great selection of boxed teas. I like the California detox tea and the organic green tea. Prices are not bad. If you are looking for a natural approach to treating an illness this is the place. Dr Lisa is great. read more

Yes absolutely recommend!! This place is more of a holistic herbal approach to your health and well being, it is out of pocket so not covered by medical insurance but Dr. Lisa focused on the root of the problems and not just a temporary solution. The wait time is usually under 10 mins and Dr Lisa is very to the point. Don't expect a long consultation with her you basically list all of your ailments and she takes your pulse and takes it from there. The medications teas/ herbs she prescribed and not tasty but they are effective if taken as indicated by her. I saw it first hand with my husband who was suffering from back pain and very low energy, we went to multiple doctors and specialist and no one could tell him what was wrong or where the pain was coming from much less find a solution. Dr lisa at first consult found the root of the problem and proceeded to prescribe herbs trailered to his specific ailments and he has a been significantly Better since! Expect to pay $250.00 for consult and two week herbal treatment- after the second follow up appointment his energy was 50% better! He was given another two week treatment and was told he should be at 100 percent by then another f/u was not necessary. I gotta say I am thoroughly impressed ...definitely recommend! read more

I been going to Lisa's for 44 years and I'm happy that I know about the natural herbs

I went to her for preventative wellness. I have to say that Dr. Lisa was amazing. She explained the root causes of high blood pressure (something that runs in my family) in a way that was easy to understand and actionable. In a way that I'd never been explained to before. I actually understood what those numbers meant after talking to her. She also spent time talking to me about diet which is something that is almost unheard of in modern day Western medicine. Without me even going into great detail about my family history, she was able to identify some potential areas for improvement based on the tongue test and the pulse test. She was spot on by the way. She hit the nail right on the head on some areas where my close family have had health issues. It was like a bunch of little issues and ailments of me and my family finally made sense. She gave me about a week's worth of tea which was used to cleanse certain organs. The tea didn't taste the best but it definitely did it's job and refreshed me. But even more than the tea, I appreciated the diet advice and the discussion about how to prevent common health issues. It made me realize that many of the things that people are chronically ill with are avoidable with better information and prevention. It was totally worth the price of the consultation. And might I even say even more enlightening than the trip to the average doctor. I know a lot of people come to her for treating illnesses, but I think Dr. Lisa is AMAZING for preventative wellness too. read more

They have a great knowledge of herbs but hurry you out the door wether busy or not. Quality of products is good but you can get equal herbs for cheaper. read more

My son (almost 2 years old) has terrible eczema all over his body, not just his elbows and knees but hands, legs, face, neck ... everywhere! He's been miserable because of this. We've seen a few pedia dermas and they have all said the same thing ... bleach baths, oatmeal baths, steroid cream one after another and the dosage keeps increasing, wet wraps, aquaphor, Aveeno, drink Benedryl once a day, etc ... do all of this and it'll get better. After doing this routine for a year and some, his skin never got better. It did however, after seeing Dr. Lau. I was referred to her by a friend who's daughter also has terrible eczema and allergies. She like me was tired of going down the steroid route and was also referred to Dr. Lau to treat her daughter. I went during the week so I just walked in and had Dr. Lau look at my son. She knew what was going on and instantly recommended this white cream. I applied it to his problematic areas and it was pretty much cleaned up within one week! I had happy tears because his skin looked normal for once! His face was not red nor was it "weeping" anymore. He's so much happier and can sleep through the night without constantly scratching. I'm so happy that I've been able to keep the eczema under control and not by using steroids! All that money I've spent on seeing pedia dermas, the lotions, the steroid creams and it couldn't control the eczema. I'm a big believer in Eastern medicine and here's another reason why. Thank goodness Dr. Lau opened up a shop ... there are other ways to treat ailments w/out the use of all these crazy medicines. Walk ins are accepted during the wk but appointments are needed for the wknds. It never hurts to call to make they are available since this is a small shop that is somewhat close to Chinatown (by Furama restaurant). I'm only giving them 4 stars out of 5 because originally they wouldn't tell me the ingredients for the cream. I wanted to make sure that the cream was all herbal and that there were no steroids in there; not because I wanted to try and recreate their product. My husband had to demand it so that we also knew what we were putting on our son - why go into that blindly? Dr. Lau also speaks English so she can assist the non-Chinese customers easily. There is a parking lot and while you're there, might as well grab a bite to eat at the nearby cafes. Thanks to my g/f and Dr. Lau for making my son itch free! read more

Six years ago I had a head injury, leading to post concussion syndrome. I was on a slew of meds to manage the ultra sensitivity to light, sound, and migraine-like headaches on a daily basis. I saw Dr. Lau over a year ago. I'm happy to report that after 2 weeks, I was off two meds. After 4 weeks, not a trace of headaches. 8 weeks of tea and I still do not take headache meds nor do I have pcs headaches. Am I cured from other pcs symptoms? No. But without daily headaches, I am functioning so much better! read more

This is the real deal if you are looking for traditional herbal treatments. It's nice that you can just sign in when you get there and do not necessarily need an appointment. You get a 10 min consultation where she checks your pulse and tongue and decides what herbs would be beneficial. They also have some fun extras in the shop like shampoos, boxed teas and sweets. read more

Lisa's Herbal Corporation - Chinese herbs boiled to make tea. - Traditional Chinese Medicine Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I came here first time few days ago. Dr. Lisa was asking me questions that my regular doctors never seemed to bother to ask. She was very straight forward, then prescribed me some medicinal herbs for tea making. The tea isn't best tasting, but I did feel a great boost of energy couple hours after sipping the tea. You get a 2 week supply then follow up again. So far, so good! read more

I must say that Dr. Lisa really saved my life... maybe not literally but when my eczema got out of control and nothing I mean completely nothing was helping, her combination of herbs which looked terribly weird plus the white cream worked miracle with me... Within a month 70% of my eczema was gone!!!! I suffer from specific and rare type of eczema that only affects my feet and hands which makes your skin break down to The point that it starts bleeding...I have suffered tremendously during my flare ups but now since I got that cream I'm GOOD!!!! I put my cream religiously every night and my problem is very slight comparing to what are used to have...I highly recommend her read more

Dr. Lisa is awesome! My eczema flared up when I moved cross country and the usual steroid creams weren't working. Her medicine consistently works whether in tea, cream or pill form. While it takes longer to heal than steroid creams, the healing happens from the inside out and is long term. Highly recommend! read more

I have been going to Dr. Lisa for years. She provides very excellent care with the best herbal remedies.

I have had eczema for years and nothing has helped it. I was given the eczema cream from here that they make and WOW! When I apply the cream, my skin calms down and does not itch. It REALLY REALLY helps. I will be coming back for more! read more

I was having terrible stomach pains and couldn't eat hardly anything for nearly two weeks. I met with Linda and prescribed me a tea and suggested diet. I felt better immediately after drinking the tea and got my appetite back. I also know what foods agree with me better and I can manage my diet to not overwhelm my system. read more

Dr. Lisa is amazing, I've been coming here for years with different ailments and she's always been able to treat them. I had severe migraines and they're under control and gone for almost 2 yrs. I had a skin condition and this is also under control. I had an eye/skin infection my American doctor said to give it time and it'll disappear , however it didn't, I went to Dr. Lisa and after applying a cream and drinking a special blend of tea it's gone and under control. Highly recommend this place. read more

Best decision I made to manage my eczema. I love been a eczema sufferer since I was a toddler and it got out of hand during college and during a stressful period in my life. I was given a detox tea. A diet regiment to follow which has to do with food energy. And a cream. Highly recommend read more

After 4 years of my husband and I trying to conceive our 2nd child, I was at my wick's end. I knew I had uterine fibroids, but I wasn't 100% sure if that was causing my fertility issues. I went to Dr. Lau on a recommendation from my mom. Dr. Lau suggested I drink her tea for at least two months to flesh out the fibroid tissue and that it would be about an "80% chance of me getting pregnant". I somewhat laughed off the 80% chance considering it had been so long but I was willing to take a shot at it to avoid possible surgery. I drank her tea and followed the diet for three months (May-July). My reproductive diagnostic test results changed and I was pregnant in late August/early September! The teas are not what I would call tasty, but it was well worth the time and commitment to do it. Although I rely on them heavily, I hardly ever post reviews - good or bad. But considering how Dr. Lau's advice helped facilitate the conception of our second daughter, who's due in May, giving her and her office a stellar review was the least I could do. Many thanks Dr. Lau. read more

I cried my way to Dr. Lisa Lau on a Sunday afternoon with no appointment 10 years ago after friends recommended I see her. Five minutes with her and two strange butcher bags of herbs fixed me right up. I had low circulation causing me depression. I had the energy to work out and figure out what was causing my health decline. Soon after I discovered food allergies to dairy was causing me full body inflammation and an autoimmune disorder. I'm healthy now and symptom free (unless I eat any dairy). So grateful to Dr. Lau. read more

I have been coming here for years, many family members as well. Just got back from there to get relief from sinus infection. I'll cook the tea (sticks up the whole house), take it once a day for 6 days and be 100% in 6 days. Dr Lau listens to you, checks your pulse and tongue, asks you questions and you're done. It works. Prices have doubled in the past few years. Used to be in and out for under $50, now closer to $100... but it is so worth it. Also got a cream for my daughter (others in family have used) for extreme redness and dryness. Only $8 and she used it 2 times a day for 3-5 days. (Mailed it to her in Colorado). Worked! (And this was after medical docs told her it was stress). Also get little orange pills (under $10). Take 3-5 of these 3 times a day for a few days when your cold is first coming on and the cold never gets worse. Above all, Dr Lau teaches you what to eat and not to eat to help you be healthier. read more

Excellent result for my son's eczema, didn't think it could be possible to heal eczema that fast. 5 days later his arms that were all painful scratched off patches are smooth and clean. I cant even show how bad it was as I didn't think of taking the pics as my son was ashamed and intimidated by his condition and constant need to itch, especially at school. Even my teenager who also has a patch of eczema on his arm and doesn't believe in alternative medicine is eager to try to see if it could help him too. Tea she has given him is not as bitter as for adults and my son was ok with drinking it and tries to follow the list of recommended foods thats hanging on the fridge. read more

I'm a 23 year old female who suffers from eczema from about the age 6. Since the beginning of time I remember spending all my time seeing doctors and dermatologists, using steroids that would thin out my skin. It was so horrible I would have to sleep with socks on my hands, otherwise I'd wake up bloody from scratching. I gave up on doctors about 3 years ago, it was the same situation, no one would take the time to look at me but to just write me a prescription. Last winter my eczema came to its all time worse, which was extremely frustrating because doctors always seemed to tell me I would grow out of it. Around Christmas time of this past year, I recently discovered my cousin also had horrible eczema. She saw Doctor Lisa about two years ago when she was struggling with fertility, which the doc sure enough made it possible for her to get pregnant! She also told me she's seen Lisa for her eczema and she has helped her tremendously. She gave me some of her cream to try at home. My hands were covered in bandaids and my back was covered in huge rashes, seeing more rash then actual skin. I used this cream for about 2 days and immediately my eczema was disappearing. I decided to take the trip up to get more cream and see doctor Lisa. She has saved my life. I was miserable and in pain. My body just hurt everywhere from all of the rashes. She changed my diet, had me drink a cleansing tea for 6 days( which was the most disgusting thing I've ever tasted, but hey, I've suffered way worse I'll drink this for 6 days) and had me using the cream twice a day. It's all natural, which you would believe it even without seeing the ingredient list just by walking into her office. It's filled with hundreds of different types of teas. Needless to say, my eczema is gone. I still have little spots here and there that come and go, but I would take this over the horrible skin I once had. Thank you so much for what you've done for me, I couldn't imagine my life without you Doctor Lisa!!! read more

The only thing the tea did was lessen my menstrual pain and lighten my cycle. I never passed anything as she stated. read more
