Why You Need This
-
Curious about TCM, but where to start?
Acupuncture, cupping, body types, herbs — the vocabulary alone is overwhelming. You want a structured introduction grounded in your own body, not a Wikipedia rabbit hole.
-
Chronic pain that pills don't fix
Years of back, neck, or joint pain. Painkillers numb it but never resolve it. You're open to non-drug approaches — if they're delivered by licensed professionals, not wellness influencers.
-
Visiting China and want a real TCM experience
Not a tourist gimmick. Not a hotel spa. A licensed TCM practitioner who can read your constitution, treat real symptoms, and explain everything in English.
TCM Constitution Analysis — $19.9 (Remote)
Discover your TCM body type without leaving home. Your $19.9 package includes a 10-minute online intake questionnaire, a 30-minute live video consultation with a licensed TCM practitioner, and a personalized English PDF report identifying your constitution (one of nine TCM body types), any current imbalances, and pre-trip recommendations for diet, sleep, exercise, and herbal teas.
Delivery: within 7 days of your consultation.
Why $19.9? It's a low-friction starting point. Typical market price is $80-150. Our goal is to give you something useful before you decide whether to come to China for in-depth care.
This service is a complement to, not a replacement for, Western medical diagnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a TCM constitution analysis, and what's in the report?
TCM identifies nine constitutional types, each with characteristic strengths and imbalances. Your $19.9 report includes a constitution determination, identification of any imbalanced organ systems, and personalized recommendations for diet, sleep, exercise, and herbal teas. The report is delivered as an English PDF within 7 days of your consultation.
Why does the constitution analysis cost only $19.9?
It's a low-friction starting point. Typical market price is $80-150. Our goal is to let you understand your TCM constitution before you decide whether to come to China for in-depth treatment. Your report is yours to keep regardless of next steps.
I've had chronic back pain for years — can TCM help?
TCM has a strong record with chronic muscle tension, sleep-disrupted pain, and post-surgical recovery. Acupuncture for chronic lower back pain has multiple RCT studies supporting its efficacy. Acute traumatic injury and primary neurological pain are not TCM indications — for those, see a Western specialist first.
Is acupuncture safe? Will it hurt?
Yes — when performed by licensed practitioners using single-use sterile needles, acupuncture is one of the safest procedures in medicine. Most patients report a mild dull or tingling sensation rather than pain. All practitioners we work with are CFDA-licensed.
Are your TCM practitioners licensed?
Yes. We work exclusively with licensed practitioners affiliated with Grade 3A TCM hospital departments or established TCM clinics. All written reports are reviewed and signed by a licensed practitioner in both Chinese and English.
Do I need to come to China for the constitution report?
No — the $19.9 constitution analysis is 100% remote. You complete an online questionnaire, attend a 30-minute video consultation, and receive your PDF report by email within 7 days. Pain management treatment requires in-person visits in China.
Is TCM scientifically validated? Will my Western doctor take it seriously?
Some TCM modalities have strong Western scientific support — acupuncture for chronic pain has been validated in major systematic reviews. Other parts of TCM, like the constitutional theory, are based on traditional empirical knowledge rather than RCTs. We position TCM as a complement to, not a replacement for, Western medicine. Share your TCM report with your primary care physician.
Can I bring my chronic medication while doing TCM?
Yes. Modalities like acupuncture and tuina are mechanical and don't interfere with medication. Herbal medicine and supplements can interact with prescription drugs, so we always ask about your current medications before any practitioner prescribes herbs.
