From Sound Healing to Swiss Detox: The 5 Best Naturopathic Services in Vietnam We Tested and Compared
Ever feel like you’re running on empty, even after three cups of coffee and a “relaxing” weekend? I’ve been there, staring at a screen in the middle of a humid afternoon, wondering why my energy was MIA despite “doing everything right.”
In a world of 15-minute doctor appointments and quick-fix prescriptions, finding a provider who actually listens to your body’s unique rhythm is rare.
That’s why our team went on a wellness mission across the country. We tested high-end bio-hacking hubs in Ho Chi Minh City and tracked down hidden healing sanctuaries in the alleys of Hanoi to see which ones actually deliver on their promises of restorative care.
For those ready to reclaim their spark, here are the best naturopathic services in Vietnam that stood up to our scrutiny.
How much do naturopathic services cost in Vietnam?
The cost of natural health services in Vietnam varies significantly depending on the level of luxury and medical expertise involved. While local clinics offer accessible rates, international specialists and resort spas naturally command premium prices. For a straightforward session like acupressure or Reiki at a local wellness center, you can expect to pay between 400,000 VND and 900,000 VND.
However, comprehensive functional medicine consultations with certified international specialists typically range from 2,000,000 VND to over 5,000,000 VND, reflecting the depth of diagnostics provided. On the higher end, luxury wellness retreats and spa-based naturopathic treatments at 5-star resorts generally start around 3,000,000 VND per session. Keep in mind that while medical clinics may accept insurance direct billing, most traditional centers require direct payment.
1. The Heart of The Earth Spa at Four Seasons Hoi An
Website: https://www.fourseasons.com/hoian/spa/
Address: Block Ha My, Dong B, Điện Bàn, Quảng Nam
Contact: 023 5395 9879 (Reservations) | 023 5394 0000 (Front Desk)
Schedule: Daily 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM
When I visited The Heart of The Earth Spa, the integration of sound healing into the wellness menu immediately stood out. The spa moves past standard relaxation to focus heavily on vibrational alignment.
My session involved crystal singing bowls tuned to 432 Hz, and I felt a shift in my stress levels that a standard massage rarely achieves.
The concept of “Interbeing,” or connecting with the earth, anchors their service, which I find interesting and resonating in their services.
However, the location presents a logistical hurdle if you aren’t staying at the resort, so you must plan your day around the visit.
Travelers seeking a naturopathic experience that leans into mindfulness and energetic healing will find this place to be the pinnacle of luxury.

2. HelenCare
Website: https://helencare.vn/
Address: Số 4 Phạm Đình Toái, P.Xuân Hòa, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh
Contact: 09 0131 135 | 028 8886 2826 | [email protected]
Schedule: Mon-Sat 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM, Sun (By Appointment Only)
HelenCare brings Swiss precision to Vietnam’s naturopathic scene, which is exactly why I decided to check them out.
Their partnership with the Paracelsus Wellness Institute in Switzerland drew me in. They target “biomedicine,” treating root causes through liver and gut detox rather than just suppressing symptoms.
During my detox consultation, the data-driven approach impressed me. They used advanced diagnostic equipment to check for heavy metals and metabolic imbalances, digging into details that standard doctors often overlook.
It felt very thorough. However, their rigorous treatment plans require a significant time commitment.
Fitting the regimen into a busy work week was a challenge, so be prepared to dedicate serious hours to the process.
Customer Reviews:
I highly recommend for foreigners who are in Vietnam.
Health Clinic for care and rehabilitation specialized in Bones and Muscles. I highly recommend for foreigners who are in Vietnam. Modern high-end equipment, international doctors and a super professional staff that speaks English. My experience was excelent.

A reputable place to help me maintain good health.
I studied in Switzerland and heard a lot about Biomedicine but didn’t understand it very well. Then when I returned to Vietnam, a friend introduced me to it and I came here to take care of my health. Personally, this is a reputable place to help me maintain good health. Thank you Helencare very much.

3. Holistic Care at Raffles Medical Ho Chi Minh City
Website: https://rafflesmedical.vn/discover-holistic-care-with-dr-jadranka-at-raffles-medical/
Address: 285B Dien Bien Phu, Xuan Hoa Ward, Ho Chi Minh City1
Contact: 028 3824 0777 (Hotline) and [email protected]
Schedule:
- Mon-Fri 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
- Sat 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Raffles Medical secures the safety net of an international clinic while introducing the nuance of functional medicine.
Patients of Dr. Jadranka, the specialist in charge, often mention how she bridges the gap between conventional lab results and natural therapies. This approach suits those who need official medical care grounded in holistic science.
The biggest plus is the seamless integration with insurance direct billing. This comes as a massive relief for those with international coverage.
Patients receive a professional gut health protocol without the “woo-woo” vibe.
Some reports, however, suggest the atmosphere feels clinical. Sitting in a hospital setting feels sterile compared to a dedicated wellness spa. Those seeking deep relaxation might find the ambiance feeling a bit cold.
Customer Reviews:

Treated very well by the doctors and staff
My whole family goes to Raffles medical for various reasons and have been treated very well by the doctors and staff. The place is clean and efficient. I never have to wait long and they do direct billing with my insurance. The pharmacy is in house so I get my medication straight after seeing the doctor. The processing is seamless and everyone speaks English very well.

4. Dr. Huong Natural Healing Clinic
Website: https://drhuong.com/
Address: 80 Ngõ Núi Trúc, Kim Mã, Hà Nội
Contact: 0913 54 0907, 0334 96 8702, and [email protected]
Schedule: Mon-Sat 8:30 AM – 11:00 AM (By Appointment Only)
Dr. Huong, a certified Metabolic Balance coach, integrates traditional Eastern medicine with German nutrition science, a combination that built her reputation in Hanoi.
A close friend who struggled with stubborn weight issues recommended her services, particularly her specialized “Catgut Embedding” technique. He found her approach to be highly personalized, often involving blood tests to create a nutrition plan specific to your body’s chemistry.
Patients also consistently report that this method is incredibly effective, where standard diets have failed. That said, the clinic’s operating window creates a major inconvenience.
They are only open in the mornings, which makes scheduling difficult if you work a standard 9-to-5 job and cannot take time off.
5. Yakushi Center
Website: https://www.yakushicenter.com/
Address: 6, Alley 28, Xuan Dieu, Tu Lien, Tay Ho, Ha Noi
Contact: 024 3719 1971, 024 3718 6335, 0362 669 522, 0976 745 156, and [email protected]
Schedule: Daily 8:30 AM – 8:00 PM
Yakushi Center acts as a sanctuary in Hanoi’s West Lake district, a place often recommended by residents for unpretentious healing.
Traditional acupuncture, acupressure, and Reiki come together here in a space that feels more like a peaceful home than a medical clinic. Locals and expats frequently visit for accessible, no-nonsense energy work.
The therapists here are incredibly intuitive. A long-time visitor told me they found tension points in her shoulders that she didn’t even know existed.
This spot is an excellent choice for immediate pain relief or stress reduction without breaking the bank.
On the downside, the facilities are quite modest. If you expect the plush robes and saunas of a five-star hotel spa, the simplicity of the amenities might not be for you.
Customer Reviews:
I felt much better after the first session.
The best place to get a treatment in Hanoi. I had acupressure, acupuncture and reiki here the week I visited the city. They are very professional, what an amazing therapists. I had ciatica and I’m beyond grateful for the help to heal. I felt much better after the first session.
I totally recommend!!

Walked out feeling completely reset.
I’ve had a lot of massages, and this was honestly one of the best yet. The combination of acupressure and cupping totally sorted me out — I walked in with sore feet, knots and tension in my upper and lower back, and walked out feeling completely reset.
The therapist found all the right points with perfect pressure and also checked on me throughout. The space itself is really clean, peaceful, and lovely.
Super professional and calming environment. I can’t wait to come back — and I’m already recommending it to my sister. Highly, highly recommend!
