Alternative Medical Practitioners

[g00dgirl]

I am trying to find alternative medical practitioners in Phuket, I am thinking of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Naturopathy ...

So far I with a google search I came across a TCM medicine shop that is supposed to be in Phuket Town, 17 Talang Rd, and I found that Phuket International Hospital has a TCM department.

I have not visited these yet.

Does anyone have experience with these options in Phuket?

Otherwise does anyone know a good doctor who will not just sell drugs, give antibiotics, without checking if the problem is bacterial or a virus? Have you been to a doctor who would actually do a culture to check first?

No, never a culture test in LOS in 7 years, neither for me, gf, kids, family. Clinics and hospitals

In my homecountry, always. No culture check, no antibiotica.

BTW, antibitica is sold without prescription here

I have been to the TCM pharmacy in Phuket Town. both times they gave me something pre-packed and not a combination of herbs that they had in the boxes
