Wellness and Chinese-medicine stays in China
Prevention, recovery and health education: medium-length stays combining traditional Chinese medicine care, cultural discovery and rest, as a complement to — never a substitute for — conventional medical follow-up.
An offer built on site
Our stays grew out of field visits to Shanghai, Xiamen and Hua'an county (Fujian), with traditional Chinese medicine clinics and the 3H-Sender Institute, an organic tea farm and recognised forest-health base. We do not resell medical services: we design the engineering of the stay — initial assessment, care according to indication, an interpreter trained in TCM vocabulary, a European escort, a cultural programme, genuinely free time.
For independent adults. No therapeutic claim and no promise of cure: the vocabulary is that of wellbeing, prevention and health education. A prior health questionnaire, repatriation insurance and an incident protocol are part of every file.
