Shen Clinic in Gardena is a true gem. Dr. Shen is incredibly knowledgeable in Eastern Asian medicine and takes a genuinely holistic approach to healing. You can tell right away that he really understands the body as a whole and treats the root cause, not just the symptoms. Dr. Shen is thorough, thoughtful, and takes the time to explain what's going on and why he's recommending a specific treatment. I never feel rushed, and I always leave feeling balanced and cared for. One thing I absolutely love is that the clinic offers pre-packaged herbs and teas that you can purchase directly. It makes following through with treatment so much easier and more convenient, especially if you're new to herbal medicine or don't want the hassle of mixing things yourself. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your health--whether it's for ongoing wellness or specific concerns--Dr. Shen is the best in the South Bay. I can't recommend Shen Clinic enough! read more

I go visit the doctor here several times a year. He is the most authentic best herbal doctor in the area. He also provides acupuncture but I have not tried yet. I only go get herbal Chinese medicine tea from him when my immune system is down. The shop is full of herbs! Natural ingredients for body read more

Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen needed a healthcare change. After copious research, I was delighted to find Dr. Shen! He gave me one-on-one time, asked questions that were relevant, showed kindness and genuine care, and prescribed me with herbs for tea that were specifically for my needs. I recognize this is an ongoing process, but I am hopeful again! Well organized and clean space. The end. read more

He knows what he is doing. Very ethical and explains everything to you and answers all questions you have. I have gotten some teas from him for a few ailments. Highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Shen is absolutely amazing! God truly gave this man a gift. We have been trying to conceive for 3 years including 2 failed IUIs. We had unexplained infertility and heard great things about acupuncture. Made an appointment with Dr. Shen for acupuncture to assist with fertility and he suggested tea. We went with his suggestion and started with the tea. Teas not yummy at all, but SO WORTH IT! We finally conceived only 3 into being patients of Dr. Shen. He is such a kind and warm man and I'm so thankful I found him. Also recommended him to my cousin who had multiple miscarriages and now she too, is expecting!! Thank you Dr. Shen! You have a special place in our heart! read more

You're in good hands if you found Dr Shen. He's a traditional Chinese herbal doctor but has legit medicine background from some of the world top school from what I can see on his business card. I went to him for adult acne issue that's been bothering me for months. After drinking herbal tea for about 1 month, I notice big improvement. Now to be clear, it's not improvement overnight, first week, i notice my bowel movement is much better, and I saw about 5% improvement, second week I saw another 10% improvement, then another 20%, after one month, my acne was cleared by about 60%. Now I'm on second month and it's at 90% clear. I'm so happy with the result as I've been going to different facial and dermatologist and none of them could really help me especially since I'm trying to get pregnant. Language wouldn't be a barrier at all. He can communicate in Chinese, Japanese and English, how cool is that! Only tip is that the herbal tea could be very very bitter. read more

Great experience with this business every single time. I live in Las Vegas and they always make my transactions with them so convenient. They make it very easy and a reasonable price. They always confirm each step of the transaction before finalizing it. read more

Shen Clinic - Licorice - Acupuncture Near Me - Gardena, California

A family member recommended this alternative medicine store/clinic to me and I came in for a consultation to see the herbalist doctor. He felt my pulse, looked at my tongue and asked me what my symptoms were. Then he prescribed an herbal formula and instructed me to boil the herbs and drink like tea. After I drank the herbal tea and after a week, I felt my symptoms improve. I recommend anyone who is interested in traditional Chinese medicine to look into this store/clinic and do a consultation with Dr. Shen. read more

I came down from a trip to Irvine and stopped by to see Dr. Shen. He wasn't there but he had a wonderful accupuncturist who was there as his back up and she really helped me with digestion issues. She also gave me a prescription for raw herbs to cook which I like better than other type of Chinese herb medicine. I have a clay pot at home to cook it in. The store is in a mini mall and next to 99 Ranch. The staff know their stuff and how to help you with whatever ails you. I came to TC herbs because they are one of the few places which was close enough for me to get back off an on the freeway and they sold raw herbs which is a plus for me. Thank you Dr. Shen and staff! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Shen. He is so caring and kind, really easy to communicate. As I'd been devastated going through tough fertility journey, some of my friends highly recommended me to him, that's how I found out about him. Soon after I started to see him, I was able to conceive and I just delivered my precious daughter who is well and healthy, couple weeks ago. :) My family and friends call her a miracle baby, I can't appreciate Dr shen and his staff enough to make this miracle happen. Thank you so much!!! read more

Soooo I was looking for a closer treatment place because I had moved from my original acupuncture treatment office. Who by the way, is amazing who has healed me in so many ways, so when I came across this place, I was hoping to get the same results along with service. I was attending and receiving herbal treatments. All was going well until I realized they were committing insurance fraud. I was paying out of pocket the full amount, and they were also filing claim with my insurance, when I ask them for a refund, they were only willing to refund me $30, I called my insurance and notified them, and they stated that was insurance fraud, which it was and also they were inputting that I was getting acupuncture treatment when I have only had acupuncture treatment once. They file a total of four claims for doctors visit and acupuncture treatment. ALL LIES! I went back to my old Acupunture treatment even though it's in the valley. At least I know he's not filing false claims. read more

I strongly recommend his clinic! He is very kind and professional. I went to his clinic for 2 and half months every week to get my herbal tea that made for my fertility treatment. It's very bitter and taste disgusting but that was so worth for myself and it worked!! I was pregnant!!! I appreciate his treatment ;) If you really want to get pregnant you should try Chinese herbal tea with his counseling. I always recommend here to my friends who want to get pregnant. Herbal tea is natural and Not chemical treatment so I trust it I don't like chemical medicine because I think it's not good for body. read more

Shen Clinic is located inside TC Herbs (in the 99 Ranch - Daiso - 85C complex). The store sells a mix of Chinese herbal cures and Western medicines. Most are labeled and targeted for the Chinese community, but all are welcome. The clinic and Dr. Shen are located in the back of the store. I'd had a nasty-nasty sinus and head cold for a couple weeks and was desperate for anything to relieve the pressure. Decongestants, antihistamines, pain relievers, nasal sprays, steam treatments, and antibiotics weren't helping ... I was desperate to try anything that would help. Since my wife and I were already shopping nearby, I figured I'd give traditional Chinese medicine a try. It's $15 for a consultation with Dr. Shen. He asked a series of questions and concerns trying to get a sense of what my trouble and cure might be. After about 5 minutes, he wanted to know if I was willing to try Chinese Herbs and I again told him ... ANYTHING if it helps. So, he scribbled together a "prescription" and handed it to his team at the counter. Twice daily, I was instructed to drink a tea made from a mix of 8 to 12 herbs, roots, and mystery. The 7 large bags of tea ingredients was $52. ... What was in it? No idea. Ginseng was about the only thing I recognized. The rest looked like dry grass, weeds, seeds, and stuff you found after mowing your lawn. ... How'd it taste? Worse than you can imagine. The smell is strong and permeated the whole house, but fighting the gag reflex twice a day was a serious challenge. ... Did it work? I don't know. I feel a little better, but not sure it is because of the herbal tea or just time passing. If anything, the Chinese medicine did make me want to get well because I don't wanna get sick again and have to drink the bitter stuff. read more

I checked my insurance today due to a email.and I noticed that this company has billed my insurance. Wth. The clerk stated on 9/15/14 that she was going to check and see if my insurance is acceptable and call me back. Mind you I paid for visual visit and herbs. I never received phone call back and when I returned 7 days later do to not to much improvement, that clerk wasn't there, and I never received phone call back so I assumed it wasn't acceptable. So I paid another $15.00; for the same visual visit and I assumed he added another herb to formula. Oh! well I felt better but I still had the symptoms. I am not upset with doctor I am upset because they billed my insurance company and never called me to notify me that they accept my insurance. Wth did they bill them for. I paid out of pocket for everything. read more

I've been coming here for years I've referred him to at least 7 people all were pain free after their visits! I love this Doctor!

I have been going to Dr. Shen for years now, simply love him! He is very experience in Chinese medicine. He started practice in China, then went to Japan to further study and later became a professor there. I love going to his clinic, always nice and clean with a lot of goodies from green tea to electric herb tea pots. In addition to prescribe herbs, he also does acupuncture. I never tried acupuncture, but have always been getting results after my 5-7 days session of herb tea. From what I heard he is very good at helping with women with fertility problem. Yes, herbal tea don't taste very good, but they work. The trick is to drink them warm and as fast as you can. Take a candy after. Also, after a while, you get use to it. read more

Dr. Shen has been the greatest doctor to me. He treated my serious PMS issues (heavy bleeding and long bleeding during period and messed up cycles). His architecture skills are the best I have experienced. I had very bad feet pain. I am pain free now after Dr. Shen did architecture on me. Dr. Shen is so friendly and very professional. I can't list how great everything about Dr. Shen in here. He also charges the fair price! I brought my mother to his clinic and she is all well now. Thank you Dr. Shen for everything! It's not easy to find a good Chinese Doctor but Dr. Shen is the best! read more

What can I say about Dr. Shen? The man is an awesome doctor. As a second year student at Emperor's College of Traditional Oriental Medicine, I can say that Dr. Shen is BRILLIANT when it comes to prescribing herbal formulas. He will do an in depth inquiry with you as well as look at your tongue and feel your pulse. You may ask why will Dr Shen want to look at your tongue? The tongue is a very sensitive organ and its appearance can change with many physiological changes in the body. By observing the tongue he can see how our whole body is functioning and able to detect imbalances in different systems in our body. I have been going to Dr Shen for over two years now. His herbal formulas have helped me fight off throat infections of where antibiotics have failed. Dr Shen's knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbal formulas are second to none. I agree with Narumi.... the formulas taste like sewage, but they work! read more

People it's time to wake up and take care of our body's the right way. Taking all those pharmaceutical meds is just damaging our body slowly. I been a whole year in chronic pain, my lower back and pain radiates down to my legs making it difficult for me to walk or stand for long . I was tired of being in pain , listening to the doctor's recommendation which didn't do shit for me . I found doctor Shen Clinic here on Yelp and I'm glad I did , just with one treatment I feel a lot better . This man saved my life . I'm making another appointment , come see for yourself!!!!! Stay bless and safe read more

I have been visiting Dr. Shen on a regular basis for various reasons over the past couple of years, and he has been wonderful, his medicine is able to cure me more so than the western medicine. I have gallstones and the pain was unbearable at times. Once I started using Dr. Shen's Chinese herbs, the pain went away. It only took one week and the result is unbelievable - what my GI doctor couldn't do in over a month was done by Dr. Shen! I was told to get my gallbladder removed by my GI doctor; but I changed my mind since I started seeing Dr. Shen. I think there are a lot of merit to healing naturally verses these intrusive methods promoted by western medicine. I have also had other good experiences such as pain relieving through acupuncture. Overall, I am so glad that I have more options when it comes to illnesses, as we all need help over time. read more

I first came to Dr. Shen's clinic after I wrenched my right knee in a bad fall in the Sepulveda Preserve. A trip to the Emergency Room and x-rays revealed that nothing was broken, that it had been a soft tissue injury. Dr. Shen talked with me, got a thorough medical history and gently led me into one of his treatment rooms, making me comfortable, did acupuncture on the injured area, then massaged the knee. Honest to goodness, I could actually walk without limping after his treatment. When I moved from West Los Angeles to the San Fernando Valley, I continue to go to Dr. Shen once a month for maintenance. I have never had such amazing results from any other acupuncturist and the relief is immediate. Dr. Shen is a born healer who has taught acupuncture at UCLA, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shen and his friendly, professional staff to anyone who is experiencing pain or discomfort. He is the best of the best, and an excellent herbalist. read more

This Dr does not charge enough!!! How many times can you say that!! He is very knowledgable in his trade and he really cares about his patients. His staff is very friendly and helpful. You can tell they really enjoy working with him. I always leave feeling like they actually care. I have visited several specialists in his field and have never felt like they listened. I have paid double what he charges with fewer results. I agree with other reviews when they refer to him as "BRILLIANT". He really is talented. I recommend him all the time to others... and will continue. Thank you Dr Shen and to your staff. read more

Dr Shen is awesome! He listens, he cares, but most of all he makes you better. He also has a "full arsenal" of tools (acupuncture, herbs, etc.) at his disposal to make it all work Thank you Dr. Shen! read more

Good location good service. Dr Shen super nice also very professional in his area. Will see the difference after taking his Chinese medicine. read more

When I heard my back pop as I was lifting a falling pot, I knew it was bad. And it was. REALLY REALLY bad. I couldn't sit for long periods and couldn't get out of bed. Couldn't really walk around too much without my legs buckling. I was in a lot of pain. I have always pushed people towards acupuncture for their ailments but have never done it myself. I guess I'd never needed to... until now. I met with Dr. Shen, described my pain, and then he brought me to a little room and started the session... It hurt more afterwards than it did before... Then the next day, the pain was nothing more than a dull ache. The day after that, I was completely fine. I went the following week for a touch up and I'm completely "back" in business... see what I did there? Anyways I feel amazing! And I owe it all to Dr. Shen. If you're in pain, he can fix you! He's a miracle worker! read more

I've used Chinese herbs and acupunture for a number of years with great results. Over the last 3yrs I've taken Dr. Shen's herbs as directed and love them. Recently I experienced an extremely sore shoulder after doing a particular workout. He quickly diagnosed the problem and after one acupuncture treatment with massage it was 90% better. After my 2nd treatment yesterday, my shoulder in 100% back to normal. Dr. Shen is personable, experienced and straight to the point and with a bit of humor. I highly recommend him and his herbs to those looking for an alternative to drugs, injections and dare I say, surgery. It's also great to expand our views on alternative ways to treat our bodies. Again 'Thank You' to Dr. Shen and his staff. read more

Absolutely loved this place, great service, very Dr. Shen is very knowledgeable, you can find all sorts of natural products to help with illnesses over all such a healing experience. read more

Dr. Shen gets results. I feel better... Much better. I am a 58-year-old large male Aerospace professional with a heavy athletic build. I suffer from lower back pain and Sciatica. Over the last 3 to 4 years I had developed increasing and debilitating pain I my lower back. The pain was so severe as to interfere with basic life functions like walking and sitting at my desk working through projects. Additionally the discomfort had prevented sleeping through the night for several years. Stress and hypertension were nonstop. I got immediate results treating with Dr. Shen. I limped in to the Shen clinic and literally walked out standing tall without pain less than 2 hours later. His precision with acupuncture and targeted Muscle massage technique is unparalleled. I had been treating with medical practitioners for more than 9 years. The list of clinicians ranges from orthopedic surgeons to a list of reputable chiropractors including an acupuncturist. Appointments were frequent and time consuming. Sadly, results were limited and temporary. Dr. Shen has the ability to examine my tongue for only seconds and diagnose imbalances in my body chemistry and function. In addition to getting immediate relief from his precision treatments (Heat, Acupuncture and massage) he prescribes 'toxin releasing' herbal blends based on proven traditional training. I no longer struggle with sleep loss, tension or irregularity. read more

Great for back relief. Acupuncture totally awesome. With 4 visits I was back to normal. read more

I went here on a Sunday and it's the only Acupuncture place that is open and I was able to meet De. Shen. He is amazing! I have been suffering with sprain on both my knees and it was to a point that they're both swelling. I went here to try the acupuncture for the first time. I was really scared and I bet ya I will still be scared the second time I will do it. I made known to Dr. Shen the areas that I am concerned about and he immediately knew where the exact locations to put the needles and oh my. It relieved 90% of my pain. So far this review is being written after a week of the treatment. I will surely come back for another one and maybe my pain will all go away. Thank you very much Dr. Shen for accommodating and I am very happy that I met you! I will see you again on my next treatment. read more

I have had Lupus since 2010. Lupus has so many complications. Life has been very hard for me. I was lead to Dr Shen on Friday, Oct 31, 2014. After sharing my story with Dr Shen, he provided acupuncture and sent me away with special tea for lupus. It is now Sunday (2 DAYS LATER). I have been cleaning my house, cooking food, and constantly moving for the past 4 hours and I feel great. Prior to drinking the tea, I would have been pooped out hours ago. There is no greater gift in this world, greater than good health. THANK YOU DOCTOR SHEN FOR GIVING ME MY LIFE BACK. It has only been two days, and I pray that this wonderful feeling and bodily strength never leaves me. Thanks you Dr shen from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!! read more

I've been to TC Herbs and Dr Shen for around 4 years now. His herbs do what they should when taken as he prescribes. His assistants are very helpful for any OTC herbs that are needed for lesser ailments. Dr. Shen is personable and he is very reasonably priced. I have been to other herbalists/acupuncurists who charge triple what he does. This keeps him busy so I suggest make an appointment. If you go on a weekend get there early. read more

I have been suffering severe pollen/ dust allergy associated with migraines and low energy. My allergy is 24/7, 365 days a year. In the past, I have worked with the best immunologist, neurologist, ENT. I am still maintaining the allergy shots and my routine appointments with all the doctors in line to manage my symptoms. I ran across to Dr Shen's practice about two months ago. I gave it a try simply because I just took a CT scan and I was about to run out of options, as well as hope. Two months later, I have seen significant improvement in all the symptoms, including running nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, facial pain, stiff neck, migraines, back pain, poor sleep and over all energy level. Before seeing Dr Shen, I need ALL the oral/ nasal spray medications to almost the max. dosage to get by the day. I had about 2 to 3 severe migraines attacks every month, whenever the weather is changing. I cannot believe that I almost kick off all the pills, Benadryl, Zertec, Claritin / D, Allegra, Flonase, Nasonex going and going. I don't feel my nose being tortured every night when the temperature drops. I can garden in the yard and I don't care if there is pollen or not. I open my windows twice a day to get the fresh air in. I have a lot more energy and get much more done. I no longer shy from making a commitment to do things with friends because I know I am far away from the allergy level which will trigger the migraines anytime. Don't ask me how it works. I seriously don't know why the combination of a bag of dry leaves, fruit peels and plant seeds work better than all the Rx combined. BTW, the cost of the entire treatment is just a fraction of one Rx which still has patent. Best of all, I am being told that I will not need to maintain the treatment once my body is being "re-calibrated" to its ideal state. I have not reached that point yet but we will see. read more

Dr. Shen has been able to help me with sinus problems and pain and uncontrollable coughing reducing lymph glans swelling. His horrible tasting medicines have worked when western medicines have failed. I have to say the medicine are bitter and unappealing to the pallet but it takes me a few seconds to drink them down and I am on with my day. In experimenting 8-25-11 My Brother and I found a counter reaction to the bitter we added a bit of coconut oil and it calmed down the bitter as a cream would do for coffee. You might want to give it a try with bitter medicine. You just might be surprised that the tea actually becomes far more pleasant. Thank you big time Dr Shen! I am AMAZED with the progress I have made in better health because of Dr Shen's treatments. I am extremely greatfull to have found DR. Shen. Thanks Naomi for the recommendation! Carolyn B read more

I love this place. Dr. Shen is very sweet and kind. His acupuncture is very relaxing and his herbs make me feel good. I enjoy getting weekly treatments from him and will keep going back. read more

Dr Shen takes the time to go over your symptoms and explains what he's prescribing. It's amazing what he can figure out about you just by looking at your tongue and taking your pulse. It's cool watching them make up your prescription, as long as you don't think about it too much. There's something I always seem to get that looks like dry wall. read more

I found Dr. Shen here after a family member was diagnosed w/ a lung disease. After being diagnosed, she had to practically take her oxygen tank everywhere, at times, even use it a home in order to breath. The Dr. prescribed herbal teas and the improvement within weeks was unbelievable! I definitely recommend Dr. Shen, not only is he so welcoming, but very trustworthy. read more

I really like Dr. Shen. He's one of those doctors that you know he really enjoys helping and healing people. He's not out trying to scheme and make a bunch of money off of people either. His consultations are reasonably priced and he's very knowledgeable. I will continue to pop in to buy some natural products and herbs and occasionally receive his counsel. read more
