New Hope Acupuncture and Wellness

Thanks Rachel so much for helping me get out the postherpetic neuralgia. I had shingles in the beginning and didn't get treated successfully and later on, I had severe neurological pain. It is very intense pain, 10/10, with burning and electronic shock pain. I was waken up by the pain every night from 2 to 3 AM, and then I sprayed some pain control medication, and then after one or two hours, I can get some more sleep till 6:30AM or 7AM. Pain killer didn't help the pain much. When I met Rachel, she gave me a prescription of herbs for 5 days. In the next night after taking the herbs, I woke up at 2:50AM, and then sleep until 6:00AM. It's the first time that I saw new hope after getting shingles. After five days, the pain is much relieved. I stopped pain killer. She continued adjusting my formula based on my condition, but according to her, the basics of the formula remained...

Rachel is very amazing. I was introduced to Rachel in Jan 2020 when I was suffering a severe cough for more than two months after a pneumonia. Before that, I visited the doctors every two weeks to try different medicine, which didn’t help but cough more and more sever. When visiting Rachel, she helped me gua sha, I will remember forever that, when she was doing guasha on my neck, immediately I feel the clog inside my throat relieved a lot. After that visit, I bought the gua sha tool without hesitation and did it myself, and my cough relived day after day and finally disappeared in a month without any medication. I also had a surgery on my left ear due to cyst, however, after the surgery, I never completely recovered, after some time, I can feel the cyst was growing again, and pain and liquid came back to bother me now and then, usually I used some prescription cream, last year Rachel...

I used to travel to Asia to see Chinese doctors for Acupuncture and herbs. Since COVID-19 I was not able to travel to Asia. Fortunately I found Junting (Rachel) who is able to perform acupuncture as good as some of the Chinese doctors I found in Asia. She helped me with my overall health maintenance, I highly recommend her as the go to Chinese doctor for the whole family.

A few months ago, I had some discomfort in my chest area and was short of breath, Rachel was very nice and diagnosed the cause, she performed acupuncture on me. I felt greatly relieved after the session. With good rest, I quickly recovered and went back to my normal life.

Rachel had been helping my autistic child to get better after encephalitis. It had been a long time that my chid has emotional struggles, especially with anger and anxiety. However after encephalitis, everything got worse, he had not been able to sleep through the night and struggled with constant urinary urgency. The biomedicines he had been taking helped a little but he was not emotional stable and at night waking up 5-8 times a night. We met with Rachel and had a in-depth intake and her herbal medicine and acupuncture helped him became much calmer, talkative, better stool and closer to how he was before the encephalitis. His sleep was much better only wakes up 1-2 times a night, and no more urinary urgency. We are able to decrease his psychotic medicines because he was so stable. We are very thankful that we found her, and will continuously to have follow up appointments!! Thank...

Rachel Shu is an outstanding acupuncturist. Not only that she is insightful and knowledgeable, but also she genuinely cares about patients. And she tries her best to help patients.

I went to see her when I was exhausted by overworking. Her treatment made me refreshed, and I felt energized.

I highly recommend her, because of her sincerity.

Last year, I suffered from very painful swollen lymph nodes on the left side of my neck for several months. I incurred over a $1000 medical bill (with medical insurance) for just an ultrasound imaging and blood tests at Harvard Vanguard Hospital, and they were unable to diagnose or provide a treatment plan for my health issues.

The nodules were growing in size, and I knew that I had to receive a treatment immediately.

With just two acupuncture treatments and two weeks of herbal treatment from Dr. Rachel Shu, my symptoms have completely disappeared.

What I love about Traditional Chinese Medicine is that it addresses the root cause of the disease, which Western medicine often fails to do.

Dr. Shu has also introduced me to the authentic Bianstone Guasha, which originates from Shandong, China. Most of the bianstones on the market are...

I have visited Rachel several times for my neck and shoulder pain. It was through her I was introduced to Gua Sha and cupping. Though Gua Sha was painful , it highly helped reduce my under lying chronic neck pain . She is very well versed in Chinese Herbal medicine and is very knowledgeable about various other alternate therapy treatments which makes her and her treatments very unique . My mother also visited her when she had sprained her leg and was unable to walk and she was up and running in 1 hour after just one acupuncture sitting. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for natural and alternate therapies. I have recommended her to several of my friends and their babies - none were disappointed.

Rachel is a great practitioner. My mom went to her office twice and had great experience. Highly recommended!

Rachel is very knowledgeable about traditional Chinese medicine, she truly listens to her patients and understand their problems, and her diagnoses are very accurate. My son got Covid during the first wave, had a fever and cough for days, then he lost his appetite and stomach upset which lasting for weeks, it didn’t go away with his PCP prescription. We were lucky to find Rachel, through telemedicine (my son lives in another city), my son got the right guidance from Rachel, combined with herbal medicine, point massage and right diet, he recovered very quickly. Today, Rachel is our family health advisor. I highly recommend Rachel.
