Traditional Chinese Medicine in China

Acupuncture, moxibustion and herbal treatment at hospital TCM departments where traditional medicine is practised alongside modern diagnostics.

What we arrange

We arrange a consultation with a licensed TCM physician, interpreter support through the diagnosis, and a written explanation of the prescription so you know what you are taking.

What affects the cost

Consultations and herbal prescriptions are usually inexpensive by Western standards; it is the number of sessions that drives the total. Hospital fees are paid directly.
