TCM Specialties, latest news and medical developments
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has formed a unique system to diagnose and cure illness. The TCM approach is fundamentally different from that of Western medicine. In TCM, the understanding of the human body is based on the holistic understanding of the universe, and the treatment of illness is based primarily on the diagnosis and differentiation of syndromes.
Our experienced physicians use TCM acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, heat cupping, scrapping and exercise to stimulate the body’s natural curing power. These are beneficial in pain relief, restoring the vital energy of our body to fight against diseases, which will speed up recovery process. The physicians in our clinic possess a high level of expertise and are registered with the Singapore Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Practitioners Board (TCMPB).

(Si En Medicare) Pre and Post Natal Care | 孕妇产前-产后调理
现今社会竞争压力大，所有父母都希望子女能够赢在起跑在线。然而，真正的“起跑线”应是从母亲妊娠生育的前后调理开始，亦是父母赠予宝宝的最好礼物。 孕前充足及适当的身体调理，能营造最有利的生长环境给宝宝，有效降低婴儿出生时患病的机率。例如: 患有荨麻疹或皮炎的夫妇在怀孕前应积极寻求治疗，待疾病痊愈后再怀孕便能避免生出过敏体质的婴儿。 怀孕期常见的不适症状如妊娠呕吐、腹痛、胎漏、胎动不安、妊娠出血、怀孕期间感冒、咳嗽和皮肤痒等问题亦皆可以中药治疗及调理。 妊娠前调理 产前调理以调理月经为主，月经与五脏有直接关系，尤以肝、脾、肾为主。若月经的量、色、质、期均为正常，即表示五脏功能调和，是怀孕的好时机。 准备怀孕前，应先找妇科经验丰富的注册中医师了解身体状况，由医师根据个人体质量身订制个人化的孕前调理疗程，以健脾胃、益肝肾、祛痰湿、滋阴清热及补养气血为主。另外，针灸和艾灸都是中医的调理方法之一，且适合大部分女士。针灸会从调经、补气血、补肾方面入手，能有效调整气血、脏腑功能、疏通经络，从而稳定内分泌，改善体质及人体的气血循环。 产后调理 经期、孕期、产后及更年期为女性一生中四个重要的调理时机，而产后则是其中最为重要及能对身体产生最大转变的时期，也是改善体质的重要时机。 妈妈在分娩过程中，不单会感到疼痛和精神紧张，而且过程需要消耗大量的体力和气血，这些均会导致产后身体虚弱，气血亏损。因此，产后的调理对妈妈的身体复元十分重要，尤其是产后三十天的「坐月」。产后的首月是最佳的调补时间，期间产妇必须有充分的休息和调理。有效的产后调理不但能够调理体质，还能改善产前的身体毛病，调整身体至最佳状态，也有助于准备下一次的怀孕。 忽视产后调理及坐月的重要性可导致严重的后果，例如: 养成易病体质，加速由肾虚引起的各种退化症，如虚肥水肿、腰背酸痛、更年期提前及骨质疏松等毛病。
