While more serious Chinese Medicine practicioners exist, this chain of spas is a clean and reliable place for a first-timer to try some of the traditional treatments such as cupping and scraping, with practitioners that speak both Chinese and English.

The options range from a 10-minute foot spa and shoulder massage for NTD 200 to a 100-minute package for NTD 1600, all conducted in the four centres calming space. While some treatments sound painful, they are said to be effective methods of relieving tension and pain.

The Tianmu location is the least crowded - reservations are not needed - and it is the most foreigner-friendly due to its location in expat-centric Tianmu. It is also a short taxi ride from the hot springs making it a great treat post-hot spring soaking.
