Chinese medicine (TCM) herb shops in HCMC ??

Are there shops in HCMC that sell Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs?

I Googled it (Google maps): found places that do acupuncture and herbal medicine, but I am looking for just the herb shops themselves.

Is there a location in HCMC - a particular part of the city - that would be the place to look for them? That they congregate?

Thank you!

Yeap, Look up Hai Phuong Lang Ong st / Luong Nhu Hoc st known as Chinese traditional medicine street.

However, the most popular for locals is Vinh Xuan Chinese Medicine at 313 Nguyen Tra st D5.

google them out

Yes.

Dozens and dozens of herbal medicine shops on Hải Thượng Lãn Ông; they spill out onto the nearby streets, including Lương Nhữ Học (the latter is also known as lantern street - if you arrive during the Tết New Year or during the Míd-Autumn Festival, you'll see lots of them lanterns).

Cheers,

John

I found a number of really good looking places doing acupuncture and TCM herbs, from a Google search:

Tam Duc Traditional Medical Clinic;

Châm Cứu Sài Gòn cơ sở 2 ;

M.I.T. Acupuncture & Moxibustion;

Dịch vụ châm cứu - vật lý trị liệu tại nhà Sài Gòn

But if anyone can recommend an acupuncturist / a TCM practitioner (can also do herbs), that they have tried and really like,, please let me know.

Thanks again!
