Customer testimonials
Healthy pregnancy: "I have been going to Gin Sen for acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine since 2007. Dr Lily, Dr Linda, and the team at Gin Sen are very warm and friendly. I have become a big fan of Chinese Traditional Medicine, having seen how quickly and effectively the combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs helped resolve my various ailments, from back ache to heavy, painful menstrual cramps and suspected endometriosis. When my husband and I decided to start trying for a baby, Dr Lily and Dr Linda helped make sure that we were both at our physical and emotional best. We conceived straight away, and I have had a very smooth pregnancy so far - thanks to Dr Linda and Dr Lily! I continue to go to Gin Sen for antenatal massage and regular check-up consultations, and cannot recommend them highly enough!" - ARB Mohammed, London
Losing weight: "Thank you, Dr Lily, for the very effective, fast, natural slimming treatment that makes dieting easy. I felt energetic and was not hungry. After the first four sessions, I lost 4 kgs in just 10 days. After my course of 10 sessions, I lost 7 kgs. Two months later, I manage to keep to my routine and keep the weight off. I have tried many kinds of diets including macrobiotic diet, low carb diet, having diet meals delivered to my doorstep every morning, etc. These diets did not get me to lose any more than 2 kgs at best, then hunger sets in and I eat what I crave all over again. The treatment with Dr. Lily is the most effective and the least painful - it felt really easy. Dr.Lily's acupuncture treatment took away the cravings and hunger while keeping me energetic and satisfied. This then allowed me to easily follow the simply prescribed diet without feeling hungry or weak. This, combined with the acupressure treatment targeted at burning the fat in the problem areas around the waist, hips and thighs, helping me to lose inches in no time. An herbal remedy then flushes all impurities and keeps me cleansed from within. And finally, a very simple exercise routine firms up the loose skin around the belly. This is the most holistic and effective slimming treatment I have ever come across – and it's natural. Dr. Lily is encouraging and very experienced – I always feel like I am in good hands." - Patricia Lee
Neck and back pain: "Dr Lily has a unique gift. I first approached her for tuina massage, after finding her pages on the internet. I often experienced neck and back pain caused by too many hours sitting in front of a computer for my job as computer consultant. The first session was enormously benificial, leaving me with a glowing feeling for the rest of the day (actually leaving me feeling better than I had in ages). I repeated the visits a few times, and her treatment has had a profound effect on my life. Through her treatment she taught me how to look after my body better. These days I rarely suffer from stress related symptoms. She is a true healer in every sense of the word." - Pieter Theron
Stopping smoking: "I first met Dr Lily searching for help with quitting smoking. I had been trying to quit for about 6 years, to no avail. Dr Lily's acupuncture treatment helped immensely, and I've not smoked for 5 years now. Even cravings are very rare! Since then, I've relied on Dr Lily for helping with back problems, and I'm constantly amazed at how effective her treatments are, dissolving seemingly insoluble problems with ease." - Steve Taylor
