What does treatment cost in China vs Western countries?

In China, a typical TCM treatment course for IBS (including consultation, herbal medicine, and acupuncture) ranges from $1,500 to $4,000 USD for a 3-month program. In Western countries, similar integrative care can cost $5,000 to $15,000 USD or more, often with less personalized herbal formulas. Hospital-based TCM programs in China may be even more affordable, with initial consultations starting around $50–$100 USD.
