I had been through nearly 4 months of treatment for a recurring urinary tract infection that resisted 5 regimens of antibiotics prescribed by doctors, including 2 days in the hospital. I was desperate when I went to Life Essentials but within 10 days the UTI was defeated and has not returned. Not only that, but I feel far better than I did before the infection. I'm sold on acupuncture and herbs for regaining and maintaining health.

I have been receiving acupuncture and cupping and I can honestly says it works for me. I feel that Jing Shen is very good and is very skilled at acupuncture. It is also very relaxing here and i enjoy my visits.

Dr. Shen is an excellent acupuncturist. She really knows what she is doing. She has helped me. The biggest improvement is with my digestion. I am 86 years old. One can always improve.

I was suffering from Trigemenal neuralgia and in severe pain. Medications were not working for me. Jing Shen was able to relieve my pain in just 5 treatments. I am now pain free. I definitely recommend her when traditional medicine does not work.

Acupuncture was suggested by 2 of my specialists from UCSF. I was not sure what to expect or how it would help my head/neck pain. I have had chronic headaches for over a year. Dr. Shen has relieved my head/neck pain. I am feeling like myself again with more energy. Huge improvement to my quality of life.

My wife, my daughter, and myself have all been for acupuncture and herbal treatment. I had a heart attack 2 years ago and my energy and endurance were low. After 3 months of treatments and herbs, my energy level is much improved and I notice I have a lot more endurance when I workout. I would highly recommend Life Essentials to anyone who wants to feel healthier.

After having no success with 4 other acupuncturists in helping with my Bell's Palsy, I thankfully found Dr. Jing Shen Her knowledge is impeccable! The facility is clean, comfortable and calming. Even though it's a 50-mile one-way trip, I look forward to every visit and always leave feeling relaxed. Dr. Jing and her husband Dr. Julain offer quality herbs individualized to each patient. You will not find a better acupuncturist or herbologist in the St. Louis area!

I went to Dr. Shen four times. The acupuncture I received fixed my knee pain with just one visit, when i have been working with therapy for over a month having to repeat a 30 minute routine daily to keep it away. She also reduced the pain in my wrist and increased how fast it was healing! I am an LMT and who specializes in the therapeutic aspects of massage, but I have not had acupuncture before this.

It was not the most comfortable at times, but it was well worth it. I am also a competitive fencer, which puts an extreme amount of stress on my knees. Even with my harsh treatment of my knee, it has been doing great! I would recommend trying this out to anyone. Dr. Shen has done truly tremendous work with me.

Truly believe she saved me. I have a rare, digestive disorder and I was so desperate. Dr. Shen's herbs were the single thing that took away my nausea and pain symptoms. I'm not sure where I'd be without her knowledge and wisdom of the herbs she prepares. I would highly recommend her. Also the acupuncture was very helpful! So if you had your gallbladder removed and are still sick she CAN help you and she can help with a multitude of issues! Love her.
