Bencao House

Bencao House offers a written health reading rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. Customers answer thirty questions and submit one photograph of their tongue; within 48 hours, a physician licensed in China writes a personalized report in English describing patterns such as qi deficiency, damp, or yang cold. The service costs US $39 and explicitly excludes herbs, needles, or medical diagnosis, focusing instead on food, self-applied points, and lifestyle rhythm. The house is a family clinic established in 1987 in Hangzhou and Shanghai, and the site also offers free educational content on classical texts and Chinese medicine concepts, written by the same physicians who prepare the reports.
