What do physicians look out for during consultation?

When you first walk into the consultation room, physicians are already assessing your complexion, posture and other physical traits. Physicians then engage TCM techniques such as tongue and pulse diagnosis in addition to regular history taking. TCM believes that the psychological health is as important, and often strongly related to physical health. As such, please do not feel too uncomfortable when the physician starts asking about your life and work; every little detail is important to us as we try to evaluate your condition, also how you are as a person. A patient who actively engages in conversation and shares his medical history is characteristically very different from a patient who is the "answer-when-asked" type, and this difference in character often does affect how a patient's symptoms present and how we prescribe treatment that is individualized.

Should I bring my medical reports?
Most definitely! Our physicians have extensive knowledge regarding diagnosis and treatment for various conditions. TCM physicians now are as knowledgeable in modern medicine as they are in TCM, and will always ask about your previous medical history, related western treatments that is ongoing or previously done, as well as any western medication that you are currently taking. There has been extensive pharmacological and clinical research done on various TCM herbs and formulas in recent years, by combining these knowledge with the information you provide, TCM physicians will be able to determine the best course of treatment to complement your current condition.

How long is the course of treatment?

The course of treatment is different for every patient based on their type of condition and course of their disease. Acute conditions such as inflammation to the upper respiratory system and digestion system can be quickly alleviated within a week, while chronic cough or IBS could require a longer time to resolve. In general, the longer your condition has been going on for, the longer you need to treat. TCM medication for treating constitutional issues normally take a longer time to take effect, so we usually advise a 2~3 months for one course of treatment. Severe conditions may require more than one course for recovery.

Are herbal medication safe for consumption?
TCM medication are safe for consumption under physician supervision. Prescriptions are formulated according to the individual patient's condition and constitution, so you don't have to worry about medication being too "heaty" or "cooling". Of course, there may be the rare case of allergy, which is unavoidable in any medical practice regardless of the practitioner's caution and experience. Our clinic uses herbal powder imported from Taiwan, which has passed all relevant testing and adheres to all HSA regulations.

TCM medication are usually very bitter, how do I get my child to drink it?

When prescribing for children, our physicians always choose herbs with a milder taste, and try to avoid using herbs that are strongly bitter/sour/spicy. Prescriptions for children comes in smaller dosages so it is possible for them to take at one go. Over the years we have collated a few strategies for coaxing children to take medication:
1. For younger children with small prescriptions, a syringe is almost always the best way.
2. Giving medication together with something the child prefers, e.g. mixing the herbal powder into juice or milk. This one child even takes powder sprinkled on jelly! Try different methods are see what your child prefers!
3. For older children, mixing in some honey or rock sugar will help to sweeten the medicine. Children can also be aversive to the powdery texture of the medication, especially when they are already suffering from phlegm in throat or nausea. In this case parents could let the mixture settle after dissolving as much as possible, and simply extract the clear solution for their child to drink.

But I've heard about TCM medication causing liver and kidney damage?
TCM herbs with liver or kidney toxicity only makes up less than 5% of the total variety of TCM herbs. For most common conditions, these herbs are almost never used. For severe conditions where the physician has decided that the patient is healthy enough to use such herbs, and benefits outweigh the risks, usage is mostly for a short period of time until the acute symptoms are alleviated. For long-term medication that are usually nourishing in nature, herbs are mostly food-based, and are as safe to be taken as herbal supplements or herbal soups.

Acupuncture, Cupping & Moxibustion

📌 Description: Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that involves the insertion of fine needles at specific points on the body to promote circulation and healing by stimulating meridians. Acupuncture has been proven effective for a wide range of conditions, including pain management, stress reduction, or relief from various ailments. Whether you're seeking relief from chronic pain, experiencing high stress levels, or looking to improve your overall health, acupuncture offers a holistic and time-tested approach. Cupping therapy involves creating suction on the skin's surface using special cups, which helps to release tension, improve blood flow, and alleviates pain. It is able to draw out any "heat" and "dampness" that may the cause of ailments in the body. Moxibustion, on the other hand, uses heat from burning moxa (a type of herb) to stimulate circulation by warming specific points on the body.

It can benefit those with conditions such as migraines, arthritis, insomnia, muscle pain, stress, fatigue, menstrual and fertility issues and even digestive problems and much more.
