 What Is Chinese Traditional Medicine?

Over countless years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has developed. TCM Clinic in Hougang uses several psychological and/or physical methods (including acupuncture and tai chi) as well as herbal treatments to treat health conditions.

Acupuncture

By passing tiny needles through the skin to stimulate places on the body, acupuncturists can treat many health issues. Studies reveal that acupuncture affects brain regions involved in processing pain and increases the release of the body's natural painkillers; nevertheless, some trials suggest that real and sham acupuncture are equally beneficial, indicating a placebo effect.  

Herbal Products from China

People use Chinese herbal remedies, which have been examined for a variety of medical conditions including stroke, heart disease, mental disorders, and illnesses of the respiratory system (such as the common cold and bronchitis). No definite conclusions about the efficacy of many research can be drawn because of their low quality.  

The Safety of Traditional Chinese Medicine According to Science

Studies and reports on the herbal compounds used in Acupuncture in Hougang have uncovered several safety concerns.

It has been discovered that some Chinese herbal products contain undeclared plant or animal material, drugs (such as the blood thinner warfarin and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac), heavy metals (such as arsenic, lead, and cadmium), pesticides or compounds known as sulfites, which can cause asthma or severe allergic reactions, or incorrect herbs, some of which have led to organ damage.
