Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
On these medical trips, you can take advantage of the holistic treatment approaches of Traditional Chinese Medicine and enjoy a unique wellness vacation. Get back into shape with TCM nutrition, acupuncture, Chinese herbs, Qigong and more. Like Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine is a holistic medicine that treats each patient as an individual and as a whole, not just individual symptoms. Only when the tension between the opposites Yin and Yang is balanced and the balance of the Qi structures is restored does the spa visitor's well-being improve again and the symptoms disappear. The TCM treatment consists of: acupuncture, shiatsu massage, qigong, tai chi and an adapted diet. The therapy is selected individually for each patient. As nutrition also plays an important role in TCM treatment, our TCM hotels also offer 5-element cuisine for their TCM guests.

Frequently asked questions
What is a TCM retreat?
A TCM retreat is a getaway where you can experience the millennia-old Traditional Chinese Medicine in a holistic way. Typical elements include acupuncture, herbal therapy, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Tuina massage, and dietary guidance based on the Five Elements. The goal is to restore your inner balance and activate your body's self-healing powers. On Retreat Urlaub, you'll currently find 15 TCM retreats led by experienced practitioners.
Who is a TCM retreat suitable for?
TCM retreats are suitable for anyone seeking a holistic approach to their health – whether you suffer from stress, sleep disorders, digestive issues, or chronic conditions, or simply want to do something preventive for your well-being. No prior knowledge of TCM is required. Therapists create individual treatment plans tailored to your personal health condition.
How much does a TCM retreat cost?
The prices for TCM retreats vary depending on duration, location, and the scope of treatments. On Retreat Urlaub, prices range from €328 to €2.699, with an average price of €1.383. Typically, accommodation, meals based on TCM dietary principles, and a set number of treatments are included in the price.
What treatments can I expect at a TCM retreat?
At a TCM retreat, you can typically expect a comprehensive initial diagnosis (pulse and tongue diagnosis), followed by individually tailored treatments. These may include acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, Tuina massage, herbal medicine, and Qi Gong exercises. Many retreats also offer workshops on TCM nutrition based on the Five Elements, so you can integrate what you've learned into your daily life after the retreat.
How long does a typical TCM retreat last?
Most TCM retreats last between 5 and 14 days. Shorter weekend retreats are great for an introduction, while longer stays allow for deeper treatments and more sustainable results. For chronic conditions, TCM therapists often recommend a stay of at least 7 to 10 days. Browse through our 15 offerings to find the right duration for you.
Do I need to prepare for a TCM retreat?
Special preparation is usually not necessary. However, it's helpful to reduce excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption before the retreat and to eat a balanced diet. Many retreat providers will send you a health questionnaire in advance so that therapists can optimally tailor the program to your needs. It's best to bring comfortable clothing for Qi Gong or Tai Chi sessions.
Is TCM scientifically recognized?
Traditional Chinese Medicine has been practiced for over 2,000 years and is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a complementary healing method. Particularly for acupuncture, there are numerous scientific studies supporting its effectiveness for certain conditions. TCM retreats are intended as a holistic complement to conventional medicine and do not replace medical treatment for serious illnesses.
Where do TCM retreats take place?
TCM retreats are offered worldwide – from peaceful retreat centers in the Alps to Mediterranean destinations and authentic TCM clinics in Asia. On Retreat Urlaub, you'll find 15 carefully curated offerings in the most beautiful locations.
