Huachiew TCM Clinic (华侨中医院): A Leading Chinese Medicine Hospital in Bangkok, Thailand
Let me today introduce you “Huachiew TCM Clinic”,
a hospital specialized in Chinese Medicine.
By the way, “TCM” stands for Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Huachiew TCM Clinic has hospital not only in Bangkok
but has its branch hospital in Sriracha (Chonburi Province)
and in Korat (Nakornrachasima Province).
The hospital has doctors who are specialized in Traditional Chinese Medicine
and have studied in universities in Thailand or in China.
There are several specialized areas as in following.

My Personal Journey: Why I Chose to Visit a Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Thailand
It was in late May, I had a light dizziness from the morning.
This dizziness was not the first time but also in last December (Dec. 2020),
I woke up from a terrible dizziness which prevented me from doing anything for the next 3 days.
It was during the consecutive holidays (series of holidays)
but I was not able to do anything due to my dizziness
and decided to visit BNH Hospital which is in our neighborhood.
BNH Hospital prescribed me Vertigo medicine which helped me recover in 2 days.
But the dizziness came back in February and had again to visit the hospital.
And this time is the 3rd time that I am experiencing this dizziness again.
I felt a very light dizziness from the morning but it was not as serious as that
I cannot live rest of the day normal.
But it happened in the weekend when I was having my massage.
It was so really terrible dizziness that I saw ceiling going round and round and round.
And after that, I vomited and wasn’t able to walk,
not even a step, and had to stay lying down.
This time, I visited Bamrungrad Hospital.
I was diagnosed with stress and lack of good sleep
and was prescribed with very strong sleeping pills
and medicine to stop my dizziness but they didn’t help much, if not at all.
It was high time that I thought that I want to have a treatment not by coping with the situation
just for time being as the western remedies
but to have a treatment that will fix the root cause and improve my constitution.
(I am not denying western remedy at all)
Why Huachiew TCM Clinic was my Top Choice for Chinese Medicine Treatment
Thailand has many people who have their roots in China
and that’s why there are so many Traditional Chinese Medicine clinics are here.
And in Thailand, they accept Traditional Chinese Medicine doctors as qualified doctors.
Before I knock the door in Huachiew TCM Clinic,
I used to visit small Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic twice in the past.
I’ve visited the small clinic then because I had this sudden itchiness on my skin.
The skin itchiness had disappeared after 2 visits to the clinic and 2 weeks of Chinese medicine.
There are two types in Chinese medicine.
One type is such one as a supplement and the other is by boiling the herbs.
But small clinics mostly have only 1 or 2 doctor(s) meaning that
it is not every day that the doctor is there.
Therefore very difficult to make an appointment thus
I wanted to find one easier to make an appointment with.
And there I found this Huachiew TCM Clinic.
And the main reasons why I decide to visit this clinic was because,
they had doctors specialized in specific areas
and were many of such doctors working there to help people.
Understanding the Unique Diagnosis Methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Huachiew TCM Clinic
My tongue, doctor told me,
is having teeth mark and is bumpy on the side suggesting that
I have a swollen body and have weak gastrointestinal system.
The doctor is consulting the patient’s “constitution” from various angle.
By understanding the patient’s constitution,
the doctor prepares treatment plan according to the patient’s such.
They say the treatment does not have an immediate effect
but it will slowly and surely improve the symptoms
and also at the same time allow maintaining healthy condition.
I had Acupuncture doctor and internist (prescribes Traditional Chinese Medicine) diagnosed me.
Acupuncture sticks needle along the meridians
where you want the symptom to be improved.
Meridian, in Traditional Chinese Medicine,
is said to be the route where the energy, blood, and nutrients that flows in our body.
You may have seen this kind of photo or illustration before.
Top Reasons to Consider Huachiew TCM Clinic for your Chinese Medicine Needs
The clinic staffs are very friendly and polite.
But more than that, the friendly fee is one of the greatest point.
The prescribed medicine can either be boiled by ourselves or ask the clinic to do that for you.
It takes about 3 hours to boil the medicine
therefore it may be a bit difficult to do that at home.
I’ve asked the clinic to do that for me.
They deliver the boiled medicine to your place.
The delivery fee differs depending on the distance from the clinic.
In my case I paid 130THB.
Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment does not have immediate effect
but it is ideal for improving your body constitution
and long term treatment as well as prevention.

You must make an appointment the day before you are planning to visit the clinic.
