When traveling, I always try to get a massage and/or a SPA. I came to Dubai. I told the guide what I wanted and was recommended to go to the Center of Traditional Chinese Medicine for 30 cu. There is a diagnosis, there is a massage. Wow, how interesting! She arrived. The clinic is top-notch, everything is clean and tidy, there are Russian-speaking staff at the reception. They gave me a questionnaire to fill out. Then the translator took me to the doctor's office. He touched the pulse on his wrist and it immediately became clear to him what was wrong with me and how I needed to be saved. Then I was led to a couch and the doctor began palpating my back through my clothes. And then everything became obvious to him! I must say right away that I keep an eye on my health and I know my sores, because I am being examined in Russia. So, what did they find: osteochondrosis in the neck (and who doesn't have it after 30 in the Internet age?), vascular problems, because they can be seen through the skin and varicose veins (and who doesn't have it after 30?), skin aging problems (come on, I'm only 40 years old), protrusions in the spine (that's where they messed up, because I excluded them, but the problem is in my back muscles), problems with the uterus, because menstruation is painful (girls, and who has never had a stomach ache these days?). In short, they named the most common diseases and that's it. And of course, you need to be treated with acupuncture and acupuncture plus massages. About 270 dollars at a time, but if you take the course, you will get a discount. I refused the needle knife, but agreed to acupuncture and massage. While I was lying with needles, someone in the next room started shouting in Russian, "I'm out of time, hey, someone!" As a result, after the acupuncture, the Doctor said "I'll figure it out" and left. After 40 minutes, I also suspected that they had forgotten about me and pressed the button on the table. The nurse came and I asked her about the massage. She: "Everyone eats. They'll be here soon." The master comes and does a massage. Then, after everything, they were invited to a tea ceremony. They poured tea into small cups and told "fairy tales" about how women in China live happily on their husband's salary while their husbands work and earn money for the house. Then they offered to buy magic tea for 12-15 thousand rubles per package (it's in dirhams, but the internal calculator calculated it quickly). I refused. I arrived at the hotel and in the evening I found a bunch of fresh bruises on my body in places where there were needles. Not in all places, but still.
I am very glad that the Yukang clinic has opened in Dubai, I used to have to fly to China to visit them.
I often fly to Dubai for business, and I always enjoy going to the clinic, therapeutic massage, needles, and always new interesting procedures.
This time I tried acupuncture on my face, the result exceeded expectations ,
I wish you prosperity.
Another scam in Dubai to siphon money.
I knew my diagnosis (I conducted a paid examination in Russia for a month of a trip to Dubai), it makes no sense to be treated with chemical pills, since I lead a healthy lifestyle, but due to age and our ecology, the body requires Care.
At the Hotel, the Anex tour guide told that a traditional medicine clinic has opened and now there is an opportunity to get diagnosed with a native Chinese medicine and do a general massage in 30 minutes.
The 30th amount is not large, I decided to go and check what and how .
Compare it with the knowledge that I received from other massage and Chinese medicine specialists.
It is always useful to gain new knowledge.
I came, met, smiled, was given to fill out a formal questionnaire, I think she was struck down and thrown out after I left.
Then the Chinese master, together with the translator, questioned me about my condition and checked my pulse.
Voila.... 3 minutes and the diagnosis is ready !!!
Yes, the diagnosis was made correctly, it pleased me !!!
Then it would be all right, but.... This is another money-pumping Show, like everything in Dubai!!!
1. Diagnosis is free 😂
2. 30th massage, I knew this and wanted to evaluate the professionalism of the Chinese masters.
3. They offered to do acupuncture, the price is 280 dirhams, this is 76.5 ue at the rate of 3.65 dirhams per 1ue.
Well, I agreed, my interest was purely professional.
Further.. More interesting ...
They offered to cure me:
I was in Dubai for a week , there were still 5 days left from the moment of the visit
A sweet Chinese translator quotes the words "master"
I understand from his appearance that he did not speak so much, but the translation was " expanded:
- "you need to visit us daily for massage and acupuncture for the remaining 5 days, and you also need to drink a course of herbs"
I told you the price of massage and acupuncture per session above , of course they offered a discount for the course.
And now the price, the miracle of herbs for 2 weeks of admission, it's good that I was sitting on a chair then,,,, attention.... I'm voicing the price- 1000 dirhams , this is at the rate of 274 US dollars.
Yes ... yes, this is for the magical, black , peas of miracle herbs.
( I made inquiries in Russia about them , as it turned out , dietary supplements are made both in China and in Thailand at a price of about 500 Russian rubles per package for 7 days )
Accordingly, I refused the miracle herbs culturally, I felt something was wrong!!!
Next, we went to experience acupuncture and Chinese massage.
The Chinese doctor put the needles in, it feels like he did everything right.
According to the results of acupuncture, thank God, he is still alive and well! I didn't touch my nerves!!! I'm happy !!!
I lay for 40 minutes and used needles, after they were removed and the masseur came in.
As usual, there are not enough Chinese masters for everyone, and I got a woman, a physiotherapist from Turkey. I think impressions should not be described about the quality of Chinese medical massage!!!
Yes, then they also offer tea, the tea is good, the price bites, but it's difficult to give an objective assessment here, good tea can cost about that much, but a tea expert will appreciate it.
To summarize:
Don't waste your time, your honest hard-earned money on this divorce "You Kang Medical Clinic"
Yes, and in General. About Dubai, the impression is of a global scam.
But this is another topic for discussion, as well as the Hotel guides of the Anex tour and much more.
I wish you all Peace and Love, take care of yourself!!!
