For decades, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has often been viewed as a fragmented collection of folk remedies, overshadowed by Western clinical models and dismissed as purely anecdotal.<\/p>\n

But as luxury wellness centres in Hong Kong blend traditional methods with modern science \u2013 drawing interest from Western-trained doctors and hospitality leaders alike \u2013 the boundary between holistic and conventional medicine is blurring.<\/p>\n

This shift is supported by Hong Kong\u2019s stringent regulatory framework, which has helped move the practice into the clinical foreground.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, we consider Chinese medicine not as an alternative medicine, but a mainstream medicine,\u201d says Kelly Chain, a registered TCM practitioner at Chain\u2019s Medicare Centre.<\/p>\n

Chain, whose family legacy in TCM dates back to 1760, operates at the intersection of these two worlds; her husband, David Chain, is a doctor of Western medicine.<\/p>\n
