TCM + checkup

Chinese medicine and a full health checkup in one stay

A course of Chinese medicine in China runs over several days or weeks. Add a full health checkup to the same stay, so the TCM physician and the conventional tests look at the same person at the same time, with one plan and one quote.

1 · Chinese medicine

A course of treatment from a hospital physician

A TCM physician reads your tongue and pulse, names your pattern and sets a plan that can combine acupuncture, tui na massage, cupping, moxibustion and a herbal formula. A consultation costs about CNY 50–100 (≈ USD 7–15) depending on the physician’s grade, and acupuncture about CNY 100 (≈ USD 15) a session. Results differ from person to person.

2 · Health checkup

Conventional tests alongside

Patients in China report paying a median of about CNY 1,500 (≈ USD 220) for a full health checkup, mostly CNY 530–4,000 (≈ USD 79–600), and about CNY 4,000 (≈ USD 600) for a high-end or VIP package (Chinese patient reports, 2025–26). Your TCM physician can see the results too.

Why together

Two ways of looking at the same person

In China, Chinese medicine is used alongside conventional medicine, not instead of it. A checkup rules out what needs a conventional doctor; the TCM physician works on how you feel day to day. Doing both in one stay means one trip, one plan and one quote.

Nothing here fits?

Not sure what’s wrong, or just want to feel better? Ask a Chinese medicine doctor

Chinese medicine looks at the whole body rather than one diagnosis. Describe what’s going on and a Chinese medicine doctor at a partner hospital emails you their reading and suggestions. It’s free.
