Acupuncture is an important component of Traditional Chinese medicine used in the prevention and treatment of disease. It was developed in China over 2,500 years ago and was based upon the principle that there was the pattern of Qi through the body, which was essential for good health. There are 14 major Qi pathways, (meridians) which are connected with specific internal organs/ systems.

What is Blood? Blood in Chinese Medicine has a more meaning than in Western Medicine. In Chinese Medicine, Blood is not only a red liquid circulating in the vessels, but also a vital nutrient substance in the body. Blood circulates throughout the body to nourish and moisten the various tissues and organs of the body.
An injury, illness through or a mysterious cause, a person will have developed pain that requires looking at by medical personnel. Think of this pain as a omen that there is something out of balance or serious wrong because our bodies are not meant to maintain a stressfully, pain filled, depressed, and insomnia filled lives.

Wow! Wow! WOW! This is not a joke! I was in a car accident and have neck, back, and other pain. Ms.Lei Shaw was very kind and gentle. I didn't even feel the needles. I am coming back immediately next week. I cannot believe my thumb that had been hurting for 3 months is finally loose. It's not painful to the the touch. I also woke up with right neck pain, where I was getting to the point of not being able to move it. I feel like a new person. Definitely should come here if you have any pain, allergies, or stress. Best decision ever!!!!!

I survived my first acupuncture treatment and I loved it! I have been wanting to try it for awhile but was too scared to make the appointment. One day I decided I needed to face my fears to see why everyone else likes it so much.
The location is in a nice office building where there are a lot of other similar services and health treatments. The woman who owns the clinic made me feel welcomed right away. I filled out a pre screening form and got escorted to a room.
After asking a series of questions she began to insert the needles. After all were in she put on some music and turned off the lights

I had never had Acupuncture before, so I did not know what to expect. I was pleased to find so many amazing reviews for this practice online. I went in with confidence and felt well taken care of during my appointment. My experience could have been improved with a bit more
information/education during my first visit. I would have liked to learn what acupuncture does/ aims to do, and what treatments would be like, etc. before we dived in. Also the information I read on the website about the duration of a new-patient appointment said 90 minutes, but my visit lasted closer to 30. Overall it didn

My boyfriend was given accupuncture for his tennis elbow a couple months ago. At the time the pain was severe. He tried to rest it and use wraps but nothing helped until the accupuncture. Since the treatment he has been able to play regularly without pain.
For me, I have a non-stop headache for 3 weeks. The pain went up the base of my skull in to my R.ear, behind my R.eye, and R.head. I had tried other things like ice, ruled out ear infection, yoga for stretching and it would not go away. This week I had a treatment by Lei and have had zero pain since. This was a such huge relief. She really has

Lei Shaw knows her acupuncture. Went in for hip pain but she treats the whole person. She has given me a new lease on life. Ended my sciatica pain is just 2 treatments and has helped me with IBS that has plagued me for years. She is wonderful. I will continue to see her. Cost is worth it to resolve health issues that main stream doctors can't seem to fix.

I had suffered with mylitis which caused numbness of my right side of the body. Dr. Shaw' treatments including acupuncture and cupping significant speeded my recovery. I am very impressed by her passionate to cure patient, her professional knowledge to alternative medicine. The environments of her clinic is awesome too. I highly recommend this clinic. Sally

I hate needles and I keep going back. I tell people that is all the proof I can give as to how well the treatments work for me. My sinuses felt stuck. I was getting infections often and I started having adverse reactions to the only antibiotics that would work. I knew I had to do something else. My sinuses started draining "like mad" during the very first session. It literally felt like years of stuck gunk was being released. It was one of those things I wish I had done sooner. And Dr. Shaw is the best! She is interested only in helping you be well.

Lei was amazing! I had immediate relief in my low back, shoulder, and neck. She was very thorough with her questions and treatment. I have been to another acupuncturist in Noblesville and he was not near as good as Lei. I have another appointment with her next week and cannot wait. She also was able to provide some serious stress relief as I was about to quit my job and in the midst of finding another. I really enjoyed my experience here.

I went for my first visit yesterday. I have had more relief from acupuncture from here. I had been given steroid shot, had massage, chiropractic adjustment and physical therapy. I was not able to move my arm behind my back or above my head. I now have full mobility back. Having many needles stuck in you sounds very intense and uncomfortable. It was the opposite. In fact it was so relaxing with the music she played with soft lights that I fell asleep. I will be back.

Dr. Shaw is a wonderful, wonderful lady. Went in for my first round of acupuncture ever with her and I had immediate results. She took the time to fully understand what was going on with me (past ovarian cancer and surgically induced menopause) and knew exactly what to do to help. Looking forward to more sessions with her. I highly recommend her to anyone with any type of ailment.

I was referred to Dr. Shaw for severe lower abdominal pain that I've had over the last year and a half. This month is the first month I have been pain free thanks to her acupuncture and herbal supplements. I also had some MAJOR hip and lower back pain due to my sciatica. She not only continued to address my abdominal pain, but she had me flip over to due acupuncture AND cupping on my sciatic pain area. I went from hobbling into the session to walking without pain in just 40 minutes. Everyone was astonished that night to see me walking without wincing in pain with every step. I really can&apos

Dr. Shaw is amazing. I am a fitness instructor and have been battling a hip injury on and off for 4+ years. I have tried everything from traditional medicine to chiropractic to massage and nothing was ever able to give me any lasting relief. After one session I knew I found my therapy.
The office is tranquil and welcoming and Dr. Shaw very thorough in what your needs as a patient are. Whatever is ailing you she will try to treat in each appointment. Well worth the cost of a visit.
If you have had any difficulty with an injury please consider going to Essence of China. I am a very satisfied

When you're stressed beyond belief and need some mental and physical relief, seek out Lei Shaw. She listens carefully to your needs and develops a plan for a healthy balance. Drift off to the sounds of calming flutes and leave a renewed spirit with peace of mind!
A patient for over a year now, I've benefited from her acupuncture (with and without elecro therapy), cupping and herbs. I started bringing my teenage daughter for hormonal wellness (pms pain/mood swings) and a healthy alternative to prescription meds (ADHD).
There are convenient hours and several locations that she visits
