AcuMedic Clinic

I've been getting treatment here for about 5 months now from Dr. Gong and I'm seeing amazing results. I initially came because I wanted to cure floaters in my eyes that got worse over the years. The floaters have since improved, but I've also seen other improvements. My skin is now really smooth and radiant, I've got more energy, my hands and feet that are usually cold have gotten warmer, my temper has improved and even my hair is starting to grow back! A lot of my friends say I look much younger! Dr Gong is very precise when prescribing Chinese herbs and tweaks them each week to my ever changing condition. Her acupuncture skills are also top notch which she inherited from her grand uncle who is a master acupuncturist in China. The price for acupuncture and herbs each week may seem a little dear but I feel is worth every penny.

I've had an excellent experience with Dr. Disha who has been very helpful and kind. I have had a neck/jaw issue for 2 years and she has helped stabilize it through acupuncture over the course of a couple months.

I had an abnormal smear a couple of years ago that showed I had the HPV virus in my cervical cells and it had started to cause level 1 cell changes. I was sent for a colposcopy (biopsy) and monitored every 6 months. Often our immune system can clear up the cell abnormalities and virus by itself (and this happened to me when I was younger) but this time, the some of the abnormal cells instead progressed to stage 2 (by stage 4 it is cancer).

The NHS clinic that had been carefully monitoring me at this point said they've like to offer me treatment - a LEEP procedure (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure). It is usually carried under a local anaesthetic. A pen with a small heated fine wire loop is used to remove to remove the transformation zone of the cervix - the area of cells at the opening of the cervix.

I know the procedure is common and routine and know several women who've had it. However, I also know - both from having read about it and because it happened to a friend of my sister's - that in some cases removal of this area of the cervix can lead to complications with fertility and conception in women. Since I am still hopeful of becoming a mother, I did not want to risk impacting my fertility. I also did not want to undergo an invasive procedure if I did not have to.

I read clinical trial findings looking at efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine in treating this condition, and the results were encouraging. Then I came across some testimonials about Dr Lily from women who had sought treatment for the same condition but in much more advanced stages - one woman having been diagnosed with vaginal cancer. After seeking treatment with Dr Lily, her symptoms completely receded. I wanted to explore this before going ahead with any medical procedure.

I really enjoy the time I spend with Dr Lily. because Chinese medicine is such a holistic practice and takes a whole-person, whole-systems approach, she learns a lot about my condition by talking to me about my life, my day-to-day experience and my mental and emotional wellbeing as she does from taking my pulse, asking about things like menstrual patterns, bowel function and looking at my tongue. I have really felt heard, and my consultations with her must be at least 45 minutes long, I tend to lose track of time! while we're chatting!

She said I had an overall 'yang' energy deficiency - the heating energy need to power bodily functions - and especially weaknesses in the function of my stomach, spleen and kidneys. This was impacting my overall immune health, which is why my immune system was struggling to eliminate the virus. She prescribed Chinese herbal medicine treatment, daily. She also said I needed to make changes to my diet, prioritising certain 'warming' foods that would put heat back into my system and also prioritising warm, cooked foods. She predicted that after 3 months I should start to turn a corner.

Importantly, when I went back to the NHS clinic after 3 months of this treatment, the cervical cell changes and regressed back to level 1 and the clinician did not see any need to go ahead with any LOOP treatment. Just a check up after 6 months.

Moreover, because this is a holistic treatment that is addressing my whole system - physiological, energetic, mental and emotional - I am feeling the benefits well beyond the problem with which I arrived at Dr Lily's door. When I first started treatment, I had been feeling tired a lot of the time and 'blocked' or 'stuck' in terms of my working capacity and creativity (I'm a yoga teacher, retreat facilitator and writer). I was also cold a lot of the time. Now I have more capacity to get through my work day-to-day, have lots of ideas and can see solutions where I could not previously. I am less tired and less cold - I don't always have freezing cold hands and feet!

I am still in treatment with Dr Lily, so I am hoping the cervical cell changes may reduce yet further and, ultimately, that the virus will be cleared up too.

I had a very bad stomach irritation and constipation. Dr. Linda Han helped me with traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, the pain and symptoms disappeared.
For me she is one of the best doctors, she is also very kind and close to her patients. I can only say that she has a patient for life, thank you thank you thank you thank you.

Dr Wan is amazing. I am going to the clinic for acupuncture every week for a while now and it’s really helping me with my current issues. He is kind and very knowledgeable! I have to say that every member of staff there is lovely and professional, not just Dr Wan; and the venue is 100% hygienic at all times! (I know about licensing regulations myself) And I have visited several rooms… CLEAN! Also sometimes there are offers and prices can be discounted... I will keep coming back :-) Thanks to everyone at Acumedic!

I have been meeting Dr Disha for a few months now. I first visited AcuMedic to seek help with my anxiety and physical symptoms. I must say, this being my first experience with complementary medicine, I have been blown away by the effects and clinical process. She examines my tongue and pulse and spends time each session discussing my symptoms in detail. Herbal medicines are prescribed according to this consultation: as my symptoms evolve, so does the medicine. I am greatly impressed by her experience and kindness, she really does care about her patients! There is never rushing, always a good amount of time spent on helping me. The acupuncture is also a very powerful treatment, and she is very good at explaining what she is doing and how it helps.
After a few months, I am starting to feel better. When I first came to see her, I was very unwell, so the change is striking. Thank you Dr Disha!

Had a wonderful massage this morning from Ingrid! been looking for a good massage place for ages and have finally found the place! highly recommend to anyone who likes a deep tissue massage. Ingrid was fabulous, I will definitely see her again! highly recommend.

Acumedic is one of the most amazing places that I have had the good fortune to walk in to. Also it is literally on my door step as I live in Camden. The Chinese medicine doctors there are knowledgeable, reliable, thorough and methodical. I know they really know what they are doing because previously when I actually stuck to their prescription and advice, my friends and family commented on what I looked like, saying that I looked incredibly healthy more than any other time in my life. I have been there for various problems, for menstruation issues, mental health, skin problems, general health. The key is to stay with the advice of the Chinese medicine doctor to actually witness the results for yourself. At the moment I am going there for massage with Domenico, he is warm, kind, caring and attentive. His massage, particularly on my back, is effective, with variable pressure according to my needs. I keep returning as it is one thing that I do to spoil myself, because I deserve it!
