Horcare is a patient coordination service, not a medical provider. Diagnosis, treatment plans and eligibility are decided by the treating hospital. Medical disclaimer.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) includes herbal medicine, acupuncture, tuina massage and related therapies. Some international patients are interested in TCM as a complement to conventional treatment for chronic conditions such as pain, digestive complaints or fatigue.
Several large hospitals run integrated TCM and Western medicine departments; the China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing, for example, has a strong tradition of integrative medicine.
TCM is not a substitute for proven treatment of serious disease. Patients should keep their own doctors informed, especially about herbal medicines that could interact with other drugs.
