Zen 5 Chinese Medicine Centre

I am a palliative care nurse and feeling exhausted from nursing through covid. I have been having some massage and acupuncture from John Lu. It has been the most healing experience for my body and mind. Highly recommend him for his kindness and passion he has for his work. My patients have also benefited from his treatment for muscle aches and long term injuries.

Recent, I came across information stating that acupuncture could be a viable means of curing hyperthyroidism, with an 80% success rate. This is something I had to explore.I’ve suffered from severe hyperthyroidism/ Graves’ disease after having covid mid last year. Long story short, I’ve been on high levels of medication and my doctor has insisted on having my thyroid removed which is something I’m just not willing to do. I’ve been working on getting my thyroid levels down naturally through alternative medicine, diet and with a holistic approach in mind.I had started visiting Dr. John Lu at Zen5 Camberwell for regular acupuncture treatments over the last several weeks and I am happy to say that my hyperthyroidism/Graves’ disease has gone into complete remission. According to my blood results, my thyroid levels are now within normal range and I am completely off any medication I was previously on - and feeling great!I’m incredibly grateful for the time and care Dr. John Lu has spent helping treat my condition. He takes the time to explain what he’s going to do and what effect that will have on the area he’s treating - which is something I truly appreciate.I could not recommend him highly enough and think he is incredible at what he does. Thank-you so much again.

Went there on a Saturday and the guy that did the massage was nice but the massage was the same four moves repeatedly for 30 minutes. Couldn’t wait for it to end as it was boring and pretty insipid. Have had better massages at other places.

If I could do more stars I would! I have seen John Lu over the past 3 weeks and have seen amazing improvements in my panic attacks. I have had panic attacks for the past 18 months and tried acupuncture before, however John has helped to lower the attacks in the past 3 weeks. He has listened and asked questions to help my anxiety - and it has helped!

I have been seeing John for a few months, he is very experienced at his profession, has helped me with various muscular problems, which have loosened me up. Will continue to see him for a better body.

Really lovely man that genuinely wants to fix/help you! Clearly knows his stuff. I went to John randomly as I couldn’t turn my head - a muscular strain - probably due being a desk worker and having bad posture! I had already been to a massage place that morning which achieved very little. I went to John that afternoon and he used various techniques - acupuncture, massage and cupping - and I walked out so much better. I’ll be going back soon!

John is good at what he does, I’ve been getting acupuncture. I was hesitant at the start but after a few sessions my pain had gone away. He truly cares and will explain in detail everything you need to know this is why I will never go anywhere else. Thank you John.

I had a migraine and went to john for acupuncture which really helped my symptoms! Such friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend.

I received acupuncture treatment from a gifted physician Dr John Lu. I have had numerous acupuncture treatments from different Doctors through out my life and recognised John’s skill. Lockdown prevented me from caring for a life long back issue which eventually became chronic. Marrying acupuncture with chiropractic treatments (Cox-technic) I have had amazing results. I have a Sacral problem that has caused my inability to walk properly. With numerous treatments from John my desire to complete a four day hike and Glamping tour was achieved. One day I walked 17km another 11 km carrying a Pack. I was advised not to go, but thanks to John I went. Nothing adverse happened. I am continuing to improve and soon will be back to my pre-Covid health.
