8 Best TCM Clinics in Singapore 2026: Prices Compared, and Where the First Consultation Is $0

The chain everyone knows, and the one whose real entry price is buried under the promotion everyone writes about. WHAT ITS OWN FEE TABLE SAYS: at the ordinary TCM Clinics a first consultation runs $25 with a Physician, $30 with an Associate Senior Physician, $40 with a Senior Physician and $60 with a Consultant Physician (long consultations $40 to $80); acupuncture $40 to $110, cupping or scraping $35 to $80, tuina $30 to $80, paediatric tuina $60 to $80, auriculotherapy $12 to $20, infrared lamp $6, herbal medication from $11 a day plus an $8 dispensing fee, TCM Health Report $68. THE SECOND FEE TABLE NOBODY MENTIONS: the two Premier TCM Centres (Orchard Paragon, The Woodleigh Mall) and the TCM Centre at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital run a separate and dearer card, with a first consultation of $40 to $110, acupuncture $60 to $140, a $12 dispensing fee and herbs from $13 a day. Every discount below is barred at those three. THE $0 ROUTES, ALL YEAR: EuRewards members get a $0 TCM consultation on a first clinic visit, valid 1 Feb 2026 to 31 Jan 2027; Parkway Plus members (the free MyHealth360 app) get the same; PAssion Silver and Platinum cardmembers get the same, to 28 Feb 2027; and OCBC cardmembers have the first consultation fee waived with any paid treatment or medication. You count as a new patient if you have not visited an Eu Yan Sang clinic for 24 months. THE CATCH ON EUREWARDS: membership is genuinely free, a Doctor Sinseh app account earns a complimentary 2-year EuRewards membership, but verification takes up to 3 working days, so sign up before you need the appointment, not at the counter. FIRST ACUPUNCTURE, CHEAPEST FIRST: Parkway Plus consultation plus acupuncture $58 nett (and $65 nett for the second session), then $68 nett via DBS/POSB, UOB or Trust (the Trust version adds an infrared lamp); DBS/POSB also do consultation plus 3 days of medication at $48 nett. OCBC cardmembers aged 60 and above pay $8 nett for a first consultation or $68 nett with acupuncture, and there is a paediatric tuina trial at $70 nett. Most of these bundles apply to Physicians, with a $5 top-up for Associate Senior Physicians and no validity with Senior or Consultant Physicians. GONE: the SG61 $6.10 consultation ended on 31 August and is off the deals page. It was the only route open to EXISTING patients, so from September an existing patient pays list unless they hold a PAssion card. STILL STANDING: a Seniors' Privilege of 6% off the total bill before GST for residents aged 60 and above (born 1966 or earlier), new and existing patients alike, and a referral scheme worth $25 off a new patient's first bill plus a $5 e-voucher, with $5 back to the referrer. THE FIFTH FREE ROUTE, AND THE ONLY ONE THAT WORKS AT A PREMIER-TIER SITE: a TCM Health Report (Lite) at the Mount Elizabeth Novena centre, a 15-minute body constitution diagnosis on the house plus a $5 return e-voucher, walk in or call the clinic to check physician availability. EU GOLD Rewards members also get Premier Pain Management at $98 nett at the Woodleigh Premier centre, the one privilege not barred there. READ THE SMALL PRINT ON THE $0: the full consultation charge applies if you take no treatment or medication, so a diagnosis-only visit is not free. WHERE: 17 locations. The NEX clinic has traded out of The Woodleigh Mall since 29 June 2026 and keeps its own number, 6634 8042, with NEX patients getting 600 bonus points on a $120 spend and free home delivery on repeat prescriptions to 30 Sep 2026. BOOK: Doctor Sinseh app or 1800 225 1887.

If you want a clinic near where you live or work, Ma Kuang is statistically the answer, but the count and the price both need correcting. HOW MANY: its own clinic locator lists 27 clinics with live addresses, not the '30 over' its About text still repeats. Two names sit in the locator dropdown with no listing behind them and appear to have gone: River Valley, and Ma Kuang Holistic at Yew Tee Point, which ceased operations on 1 June 2026 (unexpired credit packages transfer to other Holistic outlets, but not to the Ma Kuang TCM clinics or the Women's and Children's clinics). THE THING NO ROUNDUP PRINTS, TWO RATE CARDS: 12 of the 27 are flagged on the locator itself as 'different charges applied', and they are the Ma Kuang Holistic outlets (the ex-Sin Kang sites at Alexandra Retail Centre, Hillion Mall, Pasir Ris Mall, Paya Lebar Square, The Star Vista, West Mall and Wheelock Place, rebranded from 1 October 2025), the Women's and Children's clinics (City Square Mall, Jurong Point, NEX, Sun Plaza) and the new Raffles Place clinic. MA KUANG TCM RATES, WITH GST: first consultation $20, $25, $35 or $45 by physician tier; subsequent $15 to $35; single-area acupuncture $54.50, double $65.40, multiple $76.30; facial, slimming, head or eye acupuncture $109; tuina $43.60 for 20 minutes, $54.50 for 30, $87.20 for 60; cupping, gua sha, bloodletting or moxibustion $32.70 each; TDP lamp $5.45; paediatric tuina $54.50 for 20 minutes; medicine powder $10.90 per 15g a day. MA KUANG HOLISTIC RATES, WITH GST: first consultation $35 to $55; single-area acupuncture $90, double $110, multi $130, facial $180; 60-minute full-body tuina $80; 60-minute pain management $138; cupping $49; paediatric tuina $50 for 15 minutes; INDIBA proionic pain treatment $250 an hour. So the same-sounding treatment can cost two-thirds more depending on which Ma Kuang you walk into. RUNNING NOW, BEST FIRST: the new Raffles Place clinic (22 Malacca St #13-03, RB Capital Building, tel 9230 7965) has a booking form offering a FREE 10-minute consultation, consultation plus multiple-area acupuncture at $38, or consultation plus slimming acupuncture at $58, from 3 August to 30 September 2026, plus bonus credits on any package and a $40 opening gift pack on a $120 spend. That $38 is against a list price of roughly $96 to $121 on Ma Kuang's own card, and it is the only opening trial in this guide still running through September. ENDED: Khatib's free 10-minute tuina for first-timers ran only to 31 August, though the branch's standing packages remain, buy-10-get-1-free from $545 nett, shareable with up to 3 family or friends and valid 12 months (tel 6754 6190). ALSO ENDED, ON 9 SEPTEMBER: the SG61 $61 off a 6-session package at the Ma Kuang Holistic outlets and the storewide Double Celebration gifts. Ma Kuang's news feed has posted no new promotion since (checked 18 September), so outside Raffles Place you pay the rate card above. NOT CLOSED: Plaza Singapura (#04-55) is trading as usual through the mall's phased enhancement works, Mon to Fri 10am to 9pm and Sat to Sun 10am to 8pm.

PULSE is the most modern-feeling operator on this list, with clinics built like skincare boutiques, mall opening hours and a menu organised around programmes rather than one-off sessions. FIRST, THE COUNT: the figure of 15 clinics is wrong, even though PULSE's own promotions and charges pages still print it. Its rebuilt clinics page (checked 18 September 2026) lists eight entries, of which six are trading: PULSE Signature at ION Orchard (#05-05/06), Paragon (#05-49), Millenia Walk (9 Raffles Boulevard #02-56, the former Suntec City outlet), Raffles Place at Collyer Quay Centre (16 Collyer Quay #02-05), The Woodleigh Mall (#02-29, TCM plus allied health) and a physician-led TCM aesthetics clinic at Tang Plaza (310 Orchard Road #04-01). Marina Bay Link Mall, which we listed until this month, is gone from both the clinics page and the sitemap, and its old page returns a 404. Great World is relocating to 46 Zion Road: it is still bookable on 6235 4355, but PULSE warns it may place you at ION Orchard or Paragon, and the Zion Road clinic is still marked opening soon. HOURS ARE THE REAL SELLING POINT: ION Orchard, Paragon, Millenia Walk and Woodleigh run 11am to 8pm every day and Tang Plaza 10am to 7pm, so you can go after work or on a Sunday, unlike most heartland clinics that shut early. Raffles Place is the only one open Monday to Friday only. WHAT IT COSTS, AND THE TRAP: PULSE publishes its charges EXCLUSIVE of GST while Ma Kuang, Thomson and Oriental Remedies publish theirs inclusive, so its numbers look lower than they are. Consultation $40 to $70 with a Physician, $50 to $100 with a Senior Physician and $90 to $120 with a Consultant Physician, which is $43.60 to $130.80 once GST is added. Acupuncture $70 to $240 per area or ailment, which is $76.30 to $261.60 with GST and makes PULSE the most expensive acupuncture in this guide, above Oriental Remedies' $200 inclusive. Facial acupuncture $150 to $300 per area, cupping or scraping $40 to $80, moxibustion $30 to $80, tuina from $80 per area per 20 minutes, bone setting from $150, plaster or bandage $20 to $40. Credit packages are available. THE FERTILITY TRIAL IS BACK: on 7 September the $88 Fertility Management Trial sat under Past trials on PULSE's promotions page. Since the site refresh it is listed as ongoing again: $88 against a usual $200 for a physician consultation plus one fertility acupuncture session, first-time PULSE patients only, at ION Orchard, Paragon, Millenia Walk, Raffles Place and The Woodleigh Mall. It is subject to GST, so budget $95.92, herbs are extra, and you book online with the code fertilitytrial88 or name the trial by phone or WhatsApp and again at the counter. The Past trials archive now holds only the $198 insomnia, $88 hair loss, $88 women's health and $88 pain trials from earlier in the year. ALSO RUNNING: three TCM x PSYCH trials at $328 against a usual $400++, each a physician consultation plus treatment plus a psychotherapy session, for insomnia, depression and anxiety, with no stated end date. They are open to first-timers to that programme and quoted BEFORE GST, so budget $357.52, and you have to name the trial when you book and again at registration. The TCM x PHYSIO Recovery Trial at $188 against $390 still runs at The Woodleigh Mall with no end date: visit one is a TCM consultation with acupuncture or tuina, visit two a physiotherapy session arranged by Heartland Rehab in the same mall. COMING: a Unified Body Reset pairing TCM with physiotherapy at the new 46 Zion Road clinic, listed as coming soon. PULSE runs condition-specific trials in rotation, so if none of these fit, check the promotions page again next month. Its own FAQ notes that tourist and specialised packages may be limited to flagship clinics, and that herbal medication is charged separately unless the offer is explicitly a herbal bundle. WHO IT SUITS: fertility and women's health, mental wellness programmes run jointly with psychologists, and anyone who needs a clinic open at 7pm on a Sunday.

Oriental Remedies (formerly branded Oriental Remedies Group) sits at the premium, clinical end of the market, and is one of the very few TCM providers in Singapore that publishes a complete price table with GST already in the number, rather than asking you to enquire. WHERE, WITH ADDRESSES: six outlets, at 18 Cross Street #B1-17 in the CBD, 51 Cuppage Road #05-07 off Orchard, 171 East Coast Road #01-04/05/06, 200 Upper Thomson Road at Thomson Imperial Court #01-10, 253 Jurong East Street 24 #01-227, and 84 Punggol Way at Punggol Coast Mall (Lobby C) #01-76/77. WHAT IT COSTS, FROM ITS OWN TABLE, ALL INCLUSIVE OF 9% GST: initial consultation $60 to $90 with a Physician, $80 to $120 with a Senior Physician, $120 to $160 with a Lead Physician and $180 to $250 with the Chief Medical Officer; subsequent consultation $40 to $80, $50 to $90, $60 to $100 and $80 to $150 respectively. General acupuncture $80 to $120 with a Physician, rising to $120 to $200 with the Chief Medical Officer. Slimming acupuncture $150 to $200, facial acupuncture $150 to $180, cupping $60 to $90, gua sha $60 per area, moxibustion $40 to $60, bloodletting $40 per area, auriculotherapy $40, precision tuina $45 to $120 per area by a certified physician, paediatric massage $60 to $90, herbal vaporiser $45. HERBS ARE THE CHEAPEST OF THE PRIVATE CLINICS HERE: from $10 a day, against $11 at Eu Yan Sang, $10.90 per 15g at Ma Kuang and $14.17 at Thomson, though Chung Hwa's charity rate of $2 a day for tablets undercuts every one of them. THE TECH LAYER, PRICED: Electro-Lymphatic Therapy $195 for the full session, $100 for the CBD-exclusive head and face version, $155 precision and $285 deep, all requiring a deposit that goes towards the therapy; Cell Pro Therapy $65 for 15 to 20 minutes or $45 for the 20-minute lite version; Biowell meridian assessment $55; thermography and heart rate variability assessments $35 each. Health coaching runs $120 to $160 for a 60-minute initial session and $80 to $130 for a 45-minute follow-up. Some of these are available at selected clinics only. NO PUBLIC PROMOTION: unlike almost everyone else here, Oriental Remedies is not running a trial rate, so you book at list. That is the honest trade: you pay more, but you know exactly what you will pay before you walk in, which is more than most of this category offers. WHO IT SUITS: fertility support, paediatric care, post-cancer recovery, eczema and acne, and anyone who wants classical diagnosis backed by measurable assessments.

Thomson Chinese Medicine is the TCM arm of the Thomson Medical group, first set up inside Thomson Medical Centre in 2009, which makes it the natural choice if you want TCM that sits alongside rather than instead of your existing Western care. THE CORRECTION: the Weekday Holistic TCM Therapy at $108 nett, which this guide and most others carried as its headline offer, has EXPIRED. The Woodleigh Mall listing that ran it gives its validity as 21 May 2025 to 28 February 2026, and it now appears nowhere on Thomson Medical's own TCM landing page, centre page or fee page. Budget at list price instead. WHERE: four clinics, Thomson Chinese Medicine at Paragon Medical Centre, United Square and Waterway Point, plus Thomson Specialists Woodleigh (TCM) at The Woodleigh Mall. WHAT IT COSTS, FROM THOMSON'S OWN FEE PAGE, GST INCLUDED: first consultation $43.60 to $87.20 with a TCM Physician for general care, or $87.20 to $130.80 for fertility; with a Senior Physician, $65.40 to $109 general and $109 to $163.50 fertility; subsequent consultation from $32.70 and from $43.60 respectively. General acupuncture from $87.20 a session, fertility acupuncture $114.45, gua sha from $43.60 per area, moxibustion from $43.60, cupping $32.70 to $65.40 per area, auriculotherapy $21.80, acupuncture stimulator $10.90, hot compress from $10.90, paediatric massage $92.65 for 20 to 30 minutes. HOUSE CALLS: $218 per visit, which almost nothing else in this guide offers at a published rate. HERBS ARE THE DEAREST HERE: $14.17 a day for adults and $9.81 to $11.99 for children, plus a $10.90 dispensing fee, against $10 a day at Oriental Remedies. ONE CAVEAT: the fee page carries its own date stamp, updated as of November 2025, so confirm at booking. WHAT THEY TREAT: an unusually broad list reflecting the group's obstetrics heritage, covering fertility (IVF and IUI support, egg freezing, natural and male fertility), pregnancy and confinement care, menstrual disorders and menopause, children's health and paediatric massage, pain and rehabilitation from back and knee pain to Bell's palsy, migraines, frozen shoulder, post-stroke recovery, plantar fasciitis and sports injuries, plus cancer aftercare, diabetes, insomnia and skin conditions. WHO IT SUITS: anyone already inside the Thomson system, and anyone who wants their TCM physician and their obstetrician to be able to read the same file.

Every August the chains cut prices for a few weeks. Chung Hwa charges those prices all year, because it is not a business: it is a registered charity that has provided subsidised Chinese medical treatment in Singapore regardless of race or religion since 1952, funded by donations and government support. ITS PHYSICIANS ARE UNPAID: the institution states that its roughly 500 duty physicians and clinical lecturers, plus 20 station physicians across the six branches, are all members of the Singapore Chinese Physicians' Association and registered with the TCM Practitioners' Board under MOH, and that they receive no salary for their services. HOW THE $11 ACTUALLY WORKS, WHICH ALMOST EVERY WRITE-UP GETS WRONG: for a general internal-medicine or acupuncture consultation, the fee table shows a $3 registration fee, NO consultation fee at all, and an $8 upfront treatment fee, so $11 is collected before you are seen. Only the $3 registration is non-refundable. If you have acupuncture, the $8 is not refunded because it covers the $8 needling charge. If you do not, the $8 is offset against your additional treatment charges or your medication, or refunded outright on the same day. In other words a consultation with nothing prescribed costs you $3, roughly a fortieth of what the same visit costs at a private clinic in Orchard. THE OTHER TIERS: specialty treatment in internal medicine or acupuncture is $3 plus $10 plus $8, or $21; an adjunct physician consultation is $38; TCM special care is $53. ADDITIONAL TREATMENTS, AT ALL SIX BRANCHES UNLESS NOTED: acupuncture needling $8, cupping $8, gua sha $8, moxibustion $6, electroacupuncture $6, bloodletting $6, TDP or infrared heat lamp $6, heat-sensitive moxibustion device $15, small bandage $6 and large $12, additional acupuncture $5, check-up $5, manipulation therapy $15, paediatric massage $15, myofascial treatment $15, auricular acupressure $6. MEDICATION, WHICH IS WHERE IT REALLY UNDERCUTS EVERYONE: tablets or capsules are $2 a day for the first 8 days and $4 a day from day 9 to 29, liquid medicine $2 a day to a maximum of 8 days, granules or powder $5 a day for the first 8 days and $10 a day after that, with the institution subsidising up to 8 days of medication. That is a fifth of the $10 to $14.17 a day every private clinic in this guide charges. THE ONE NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT: the Yishun branch runs EMMA, the same AI tuina robot NovaHealth advertises, at $30 for a 25-minute full back or $18 for a 15-minute localised session, with a back muscle stiffness assessment at $10. That is roughly a third of NovaHealth's $98. Yishun and Novena also run eye screening packages, $85 for adults (or $55 if your TCM treatment exceeds $30) and $30 for children aged 4 to 16. WHERE: six clinics, at Toa Payoh HQ, Yishun, Woodlands, Bukit Panjang, Marine Parade and Novena. HOURS, WHICH MATTER BECAUSE YOU QUEUE: registration at the first five runs Monday to Saturday excluding public holidays in three windows, 8.30am to 12pm, 1pm to 4.30pm and 6.30pm to 9.30pm, and Toa Payoh HQ is the only branch that opens every Saturday night. Novena is different, running Tuesday to Saturday only, with mornings on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, afternoons Tuesday to Saturday, and evening sessions on Tuesday and Friday only, closing an hour earlier than the rest at 8.30pm. Bring photo identification every visit. FEE WAIVERS: full or partial, on proof of financial hardship such as CPF statements.

NovaHealth splits its network deliberately between the CBD and the heartlands, so it covers both the lunchtime-appointment crowd and the neighbourhood walk-in. THE COUNT, CORRECTED: the group now puts its own network at 12 outlets, of which 11 are trading, across four tiers. TWO PREMIUM CLINICS: One Raffles Place (1 Raffles Place #05-17, tel 6532 0591, Mon to Fri 10am to 8pm, Sat 10am to 6pm, closed Sunday and public holidays) and Capitol at City Hall (13 Stamford Road #B1-11/12, tel 6513 6265, Mon to Fri 10am to 8pm, Sat and Sun 10am to 6pm), the latter positioned around women's health, fertility, PCOS and prenatal care. SEVEN FAMILY CLINICS: Farrer Park (45 Owen Road #01-291), Eunos (138 Changi Road), Clementi (Blk 354 Clementi Ave 2 #01-215), Chong Pang City (106 Yishun Ring Road #01-179), Ang Mo Kio (157 Ang Mo Kio Ave 4 #01-570), Tampines (406 Tampines Street 41 #01-11, which is new and appears on none of the roundups), and Bukit Merah (161 Bukit Merah Central #01-3713), which its own page marks TEMPORARILY CLOSED. Plus a sports science centre at Tanjong Pagar (160 Robinson Road #03-16, SBF Medical Suites). AND THE 12TH, WHICH NO ROUNDUP CARRIES: a TCM and Wellness concept store at Chinatown Point (133 New Bridge Road #B2-23/24, tel 6047 0261), opened on 22 January 2026, weekdays 10am to 8pm and weekends 10am to 6pm. It is also the cheapest paid way into the group. Its first-time opening rates are a First TCM Visit at $48 nett, covering the consultation plus one of acupuncture, gua sha or cupping, against $30 to $50 for the consultation alone plus $68 to $98 for acupuncture at a family clinic; and a Deep Recovery Session at $68 nett, a 60-minute targeted functional massage with a free 30-minute EMMA acupressure and spinal analysis thrown in. The clinic says selected opening promotions can be combined in the same visit. Its wellness menu (bojin, hot stone, detox gua sha, lymphatic detox) does not appear at the family clinics. ONE THING TO CHECK BEFORE YOU GO: NovaHealth's two pages disagree on weekly closures. Its family-clinics page gives every branch as Mon to Fri 10am to 8pm and weekends 10am to 6pm with only public holidays closed, while its promotions page adds a weekly rest day, Tuesdays at Farrer Park, Chong Pang and Eunos, and Thursdays at Ang Mo Kio. Call the branch rather than trusting either page. WHAT IT COSTS, FROM THE FAMILY CLINIC FEE LIST: first consultation $30 to $50, subsequent $20 to $40, acupuncture $68 to $98, cupping $68 per ailment, EMMA trigger point massage $98, heating lamp or pad $20, meridian detox $68, TENS treatment $68, tuina $98 to $128 per ailment, herbal bandage $10 to $20, herbal medication roughly $10 to $30 a day by type and weight. Its TCM pain management service is $108, a bilateral joint (ankle, elbow, knees) $128, an additional spot $40 to $50. THE FREE ROUTE NOBODY WRITES ABOUT: NovaHealth runs ConsultNova, a form that matches you to a physician by condition and delivers a complimentary first consultation, with a callback inside three working days. That is better than the $20 off a first visit it advertises everywhere else, but it needs planning, not a walk-in. ON THE ROBOT: NovaHealth is no longer the only clinic here running EMMA, the AI tuina system, and at $98 a session it is the most expensive place to try it, unless you go to Chinatown Point, where a 30-minute EMMA acupressure and spinal analysis comes free inside the $68 recovery package. Singapore Chung Hwa's Yishun branch runs the same technology at $30 for 25 minutes. NovaHealth's physicians are MOH-registered and the group states they trained at overseas hospitals for at least two years.

The heritage pick, and the one with the best standing offer for anyone who can plan a month ahead. Beijing Tong Ren Tang Singapore was established in 2003 as a joint venture between Beijing Tongrentang of China and Science Arts Co Pte Ltd of Singapore; the Beijing parent was founded in 1669 and supplied the Qing imperial pharmacy across eight reigns for 188 years, a longer continuous record than any other name on this list. WHERE, CORRECTED: its contact page lists FOUR branches in Singapore, not the three usually printed. They are 209 South Bridge Road (tel 6223 9513), 46 Upper Cross Street (tel 6535 8789), Blk 809 French Road #02-56 at Kitchener Complex (tel 6291 1208), and the Institute of Mental Health clinic at 10 Buangkok View, Buangkok Green Medical Park, main lobby 11-134 to 140 (tel 6387 0568). THE BEST REASON TO PICK IT: all four open on SUNDAYS, which almost nothing else in this guide does. South Bridge Road, Upper Cross Street and French Road run Monday to Saturday 10am to 7pm and Sunday 10am to 5pm; the IMH clinic runs Monday to Saturday 9am to 6pm and Sunday 9am to 4pm. All four close on public holidays. THE FREE CONSULTATION, AND ITS ONE INCONSISTENCY: the standing offer is a free consultation on the first Saturday of every month, recurring with no end date. But the notice names French Road, the Institute of Mental Health and a Balestier Road clinic, and Balestier Road no longer appears anywhere on the same site's contact page, while South Bridge Road and Upper Cross Street are not named in the offer at all. Call the branch you intend to visit before you go. WHAT THEY DO: TCM internal medicine, acupuncture, massage therapy, cupping, herb brewing (they will decoct your prescription rather than sending you home with raw herbs to boil), and house calls for patients who cannot travel. There is also a retail arm selling classical Chinese proprietary medicines such as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, Beijing Bai Feng Wan and Da Huo Luo Dan, and two free downloadable booklets, one on self-treatment with acupoints and workouts and one on Chinese food therapy. NOT PUBLISHED: consultation and treatment prices, which is the one thing it will not put on the website, so ask when you call. WHO IT SUITS: anyone who wants a Sunday appointment, anyone who would rather have their herbs decocted for them, and anyone who can wait for the first Saturday of the month.
