| Hot Springs |  |
|
| In ancient times, having a hot spring bath was the special enjoyment of high officials and noble lords but today, in Hainan, it has become much more accessible to the general public. Many natural hot springs are bubbling all over the island and more especially on the East Coast around the cities of Qionghai and Wanning. The water is rich in minerals and has a proven curative effect on hypertension, rheum arthritis, skin diseases, neurasthenia, insomnia, etc.
Try the “Nibble fish” pool (the fish is called Gara rufa or alternately known as the Doctor fish) known to remove the dead skin from your skin and make it softer. To make full use of the local hot spring resources, a number of holiday and recuperation resorts have been established. All those resorts have facilities such as modern hotels, entertainment installations, gymnasiums, recuperation setups and fabulous restaurants. |
| Traditional Chinese Medicine |
| The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a complete medical system that has been used to diagnose, treat, and prevent illnesses for more than 2,000 years. It is based on a belief in yin and yang defined as opposing energies, such as earth and heaven, winter and summer, and happiness and sadness. The ultimate goal of this treatment is to balance the yin and yang in our lives and therefore having a more balanced and healthy life. On Hainan, you can learn about the basic principles of TCM and even cure your own personal health issues.
Local medical experts offer different treatments that can help treat and heal illnesses such as: hypertension, fatty liver, arthritis, excessive curl of spine, coronary heart disease, headache, facial paralysis, pancreatitis, gastritis, nasal sinusitis, and much more. |
