Both readings are written assessments, delivered remotely. Neither is a medical diagnosis, and neither requires you to travel. Which one you want depends on how far you intend to take it, and stopping at the first one is a perfectly good outcome.
A detailed intake covering sleep, digestion, energy, temperature, what you have already tried, plus tongue and face photographs, read by a senior physician at Baoputang Clinic, our licensed partner clinic in Ningbo, China. You receive a written account of what they see, how your body has been running in the way Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) reads it, and the everyday changes that shift it: sleep timing, keeping warm, how and what to eat, movement. Practical, and yours to act on straight away.
A longer reading by one independent practitioner, working from observation and a full history. It sets out what she sees, where she thinks it has come from, what to be careful of, and what she would change first, and, if sessions in person would add anything, honestly how much. It is finished when the report reaches you; most people stop there. She is not part of the Baoputang team.
The same practitioner also sees clients in person at her own practice in China. She sees one client at a time, and each session is an hour. This is never sold in advance and never as a package: how many sessions would be worth making, and what they would cost, are written into your Observation Reading before you commit to anything. Quoting a figure before anyone has read you would be quoting for work nobody has assessed. We arrange the practitioner's time and an interpreter; flights and accommodation you book yourself, in your own name.
The two are not aimed at different illnesses. They are aimed at people at different points on the same road, and almost everyone should begin at the cheaper end.
Online, in your own time: symptoms, history and lifestyle, plus photographs taken in daylight to a short written guide we send you.
The same person who looks at your photographs writes your report. Nothing is triaged by an assistant first.
With the report in front of you. There is no obligation at any point, and we do not follow up to press it.
The £79 report is bought and begun online, in your own time. If after reading both you still cannot tell which one is yours, ask us, and we will be straight with you, including when the cheaper one would serve you just as well.
