Dr & Herbs offers alternative and holistic therapies, and specialises in Chinese medicine. Unfortunately, when I went there I had a bit of a bizarre experience. I saw a Chinese woman who may have spoken perfect English but just couldn't understand her. I wanted a detox program that I'd heard was recommended from this place and she ended up taking me into a little room and asking me to point to the places on my body that I thought were fat. Now that's a dangerous question to ask a standard woman, if you don't want to be still listening to her complain and hour later. Still, I was as diplomatic with my body as I could be, and ended up leaving with some sort of health pill. I think I still have them somewhere.... Still, it's a good shop to browse around for the curious, and if you're interested in holistic health it's definitely worth a look in. I may nip back to see if they've invented a miracle diet pill yet - after all, Chinese medicine is likely to be more advanced than our own!

Dr & Herbs located in St. John's Precinct offers you an alternative form of medicine that is…read moretraditional Chinese. Chinese medicine concentrates on the causes of the illness and offers a natural approach as opposed to Western medicine. You'll be given a free consultation by the Chinese Doctor where he/she will gather diagnostic information consisting of four examinations - looking, listening, asking and touching. The most important examination is based upon examining your tongue, its overall colour and the coating will tell the doctor about the condition of your internal organs. The examination or consultation can be taken in a private interview room (if required). The doctor will recommend a course of treatment to assist with the problem according to the principles of Chinese medicine. An appointment is not always necessary as they will try to fit in time for you if possible. Although many claim Chinese medicine sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, one thing that can be assured is that Dr & Herbs will provide a competent level of service to all customers. Each member of staff is fully qualified and has extensive clinical experience in Chinese medicine. If you've suffered from a long term illness and still looking for a solution, Dr & Herbs could be your saviour.

On my recent holiday in England an old back injury flared up. I was in agony. Kay Lam Acupuncture…read morewas recommended to me by a woman who was working in my hotel. I called and was able to get an appointment a few hours later. I have been to acupuncturists in the USA so I knew what to expect. Kay was professional and immediately put me at ease. After one treatment I was able to walk without pain and sleep through the night. I highly recommend Kay Lam if you are in need of an Acupuncturist.

I had been recomended the Jade centre for acupuncture treatment for joint pains, and other stuff,…read moreso i thought i'd check it out. and found a fantastic, small practitioner owned practice, that catered very much for your personal needs/ailments. I had a very thorough initial consultation with 'Louise' the acupuncturist, who was very knowlagable and listened very carfully to what i had to say , then did the pulses and other stuff that Acupuncturists do. I had done a study in the validity of acupuncture in orthopaedics when i did my Ortho certificate, so i had an idea of what to expect.,,, anyway. after a very involved history taking i had my first treatment , which was comfortable and relaxed, It was explained to me what to expect, so i had no worries about needles or pain, in fact the whole thing was pain free and left me feeling very realxed. I realise it was the first of a few sessions so i know i have a few more to get the long term benefits, but i am looking forward to my next session and feeling more changes in my general wellbeing. I won't go into my ailments, but suffice to say, I know i will need more sessions and realise things sometimes get a little worse before they get better, but that was not the case today, i felt so much benefit afterwards, i would recomend this to anyone.
