Our holistic approach
The Chinese theory of health diagnosis is very different to a Western approach and is founded on the principles of balancing Yin and Yang and establishing a smooth flow of Qi and blood around the body and organs. Illness occurs when there is an imbalance of Yin and Yang and stagnation of Qi and/or blood.
Many factors can contribute to this imbalance, including stress and emotions. Eden Herbs aims to focus on the entire mind and body, seeking a combination of treatments to address these emotional and physical ailments.

Gentle Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine that has been practised in the Far East for thousands of years. This ancient Chinese medicine-based approach to treating a variety of conditions by triggering specific points on the skin with thin needles to stimulate the body’s own healing response and help restore its natural balance. Acupuncture is a fantastic option to treat everything from aching muscles to everyday stress and anxiety.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
TCM has been used to diagnose, treat, and prevent illnesses for more than 5,000 years. The key principles are the balance of Yin and Yang, and the flow of energy known as Chi. Any disharmony of Yin and Yang or Chi flow blockage will lead to illness or imbalances in the body. Our goal is to help you restore this imbalance so your body can again function as it should.
Hot Cupping
Cupping is an ancient therapy that uses cups placed on your back to create negative pressure, allowing blood and Qi energy to flow much more freely through your body than previously. This non-invasive treatment is great for improving the health of your vital organs and reducing inflammation. Consider it a one-stop anti-inflammatory treatment for all your aches and pains.
Deep Tissue Chinese Massage Therapy
If you’re suffering from tension and body aches, our deep tissue Chinese massage can help! Our therapists apply slow, forceful strokes that help release knots and strains in the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. This helps ease tension, increase the range of motion, and relieve chronic pain.

“The body is to nature as a violin is to an orchestra. The strings are to a violin as the organs are to the body. For the orchestra to play in harmony, all the instruments must be tuned to each other. If a single instrument is out of tune, the whole sound is dissonancy rather than harmony.”

See what our patients say about us
I had sciatica and was sorted after few weekly treatments . I
I also suffer with a chronic back shoulder and neck pain for many months which is now so much better following the MOTION acupuncture ( by Dr Eve) and massage sessions ( by David) . Dr Eve is so helpful with what to do at home in between sessions. I recommend any of the therepies for whatever your need is, the team here at Eden Herbs are supportive and helpful
My migraine headaches have disappeared, and my energy levels are much improved. At my last session, Dr Eve untrapped my neck which had been causing me severe discomfort.
I now go every week and it's guaranteed that I leave Eden Herbs feeling nourished and relaxed. Dr is highly passionate, dedicated and knowledgeable, and I could not recommend her more.
I can feel the benefits continue throughout the week & feel myself calmer, grounded & relaxed in general.
They give me tips & tricks of how to treat myself at home in-between sessions which I really enjoy & I have enjoyed researching traditional Chinese medicine.
They are experts at what they do, if you are thinking about trying alternative medicines, this is your sign to do it!
Thank you Eden Herbs & I look forward to continuing my journey with you.
Lauren
My elderly aunty started going to her in 2018 and she feels better after every massage. It is as though Dr.Eve can 'see' the pain and targets those areas specifically. Unfortunately due to Covid she was unable to leave the house and she went back to Dr.Eve after about two years. The most amazing thing (apart from the massage itself!) was the fact that Eden Herbs still had our record on file and as we had paid in advance for the massages we were told that we still had one left! We truly appreciated their honesty as we had misplaced the card.
Dr.Eve is incredibly caring and thoughtful and she treats all her patients with respect and kindness. Irene and David are equally polite and respectful (e.g. helping my aunty up from her chair when she has been unable to stand up with ease or getting her a footstool to access the massage bed.)
We have been very lucky to find their clinic! On the days when my aunty is unwell and unable to attend her appointments, she really misses them and looks forward to her next session. Dr.Eve is always understanding and accommodating - always rearranging with a lot of empathy and kindness, even at short notice!
Thank you for all your hard work and kindness!
We look forward to seeing you again soon!
I have trust and patience in her treatments and recommendations. I will definitely be listening to her advice and treatment for when I enter the menopause years! I highly recommend her and all the team who I have received treatment from. Thank you Eden Herbs.
