TCM and TCM Clinic for kids
-
Bethel:
at Herbal-Basic, the physician usually gets one of the aunties to do the massage. There are two aunties on weekend (I dunno about weekday though) and one of which I found out was the classmate of the physician while they were studying TCM together. The other auntie, I dunno her background, but noticed that she is very knowledgeable in the acupuncture points to massage and very helpful in advising and sharing knowledge. My mother-in-law and I learnt quite a lot from this auntie cuz we like to chat when she's massaging my kid.alan7:
I also brought my child to 727 Havelock Road clinic. It seemed to be quite useful. Any adults else also try the treatment of nose spa there? How do U find the treatment and is it worthwhile to take up the package?
I am also keen to bring my 19mth old girl to herbal-basic for her frequent cough. Her PD always put her on nebuliser every month when she gets cough. I find it very weakening to her body as the medicine used in nebuliser contains steriods.
Can I chk for herbal-basic, does the yi-shi do the baby massage herself or she only diagnose then got another helper to do the massage?
Is the massage done one at a time or if there a few beds there where a few children can get massage at the same time?
We have been to Yu Guo chinese physician at Kemangan. They are very popular for children and babies. But I don't really feel comfortable there cos they have about 6 massuer doing the baby massage at the same time in the same room. it's really scary with all sick kids in the same room, all the germs & virus spreading.
The physician, whenever she is free or when they are too many kids waiting for massage, she will also help to massage the kids also.
As for cough, I am very happy with the recent treatments they have started using. It's using the bio-light. It's non-invasive and it's not oral medication. The physician simply massage some herbal cream on the kid's chest and then use the light to shine on the kid's chest. As simple as that.
My girl had a bad cough early part of this year. it was very heavy cough with lotsa phlegm and high fever. The bio-light treatment gave immediate result. My girl, after first treatment, the cough reduced tremendously. And then she went on for another two treatments on the following two days. After the third treatment, she was 90%, if not 100%, recovered already. -
you can make your own nose spa at home without braving the crowded TCM clinics or western clinics
http://nanaymiriam.wordpress.com/2012/07/24/air-purifier-for-less-than-20-sgd/
just buy the normal air purifier.. boil a bunch of lemon grass, let it cool until tepid.. then put in your air purifier .. or you can just add lemon grass essential oil or peppermint essential oil..
learn some accupressure massage yourself.. so you can do it yourself before your child head for bed..
altho you have to expect that when your child is sick they might call you in the office.. and ask you to be home \"to help\"... my daughter thinks am a mommy doctor .. I think its kinda cool in a way that she sees me as someone who she can trust and let her ills go away.. with just a massage, nose spa... onions and garlic on her socks...

I am now also a satisfied customer of Herbal Basic TCM clinic
usually when my daughter have slight fever or cold/flu, I massage her myself and use garlic/onion poultice (on her feet), which she sleeps on…
before Christmas my usual remedies did’nt work for her fever, so the next morning brought her to Herbal Basic TCM clinic, she had Tuina massage and also the nose spa…
she was well behaved as usual, she complained a bit that the massage is a bit painful but is ok… and that nose spa is uncomfortable but still ok…
after the treatment she said she felt a lot better…
no more fever…and no more cold and cough! yey! -
TCM Nose Spa Research Feedback
Am concern with the china medication used by TCM clinic at Havelock Road.
Research formular in website and found out this formula was invented only in 2010 by a Chinese Doc, and now produce by one factory in Wu Han. No data analysis on its test, most importantly medicine is not certified by Singapore Medical bodies.
Parent, please use it sparingly as the formular though natural flowers may contain alcohol may have other side effect that is not known. And the cost charged per treatment is ridiculously high.
Research your own info. via the internet before using on your precious. -

I got a little concerned about the nose spa after reading your post, can you please PM me the links to your findings, as I couldn't find much info about it myself on the Internet. Thanks! -
rainbowmagic, uve been a member since 2010 but only made 1 post… of all posts its against this particulart TCM clinic…
Ive talked to the owner herself, and it seems she is a very honest woman, my daughter also did not suffer any side effect with the nose spa, in fact it made her feel a lot better… -
Has requested Rainbowmagic to send me the links to the research on nose spa, but no response till now…
Anyway, my child had fever last week and I took him to see Dr Tan @ herbal basic. While we were there, I took the opportunity to clarify the nose spa issue with them. At first they were a little “offended” by my enquiry, but after I explained to them about the issue raised by “Rainnbowmagic”, they agreed to clarify the matter, but they requested me to spread the words to the readers of this forum.
So, here I am to share the info:
Nose spa therapy was developed in 2003 by Dr. Tan and partners. Same year they formed Herbal-Basic company in Singapore, and later went into JV with a doctor in China and set up Herbal-Basic Wuhan to manufacture and distribute nose spa device and nose spa herbal liquid in China. They claimed that nose spa products already have 10 years of history in the market, and since then it has treated more than 10,000 patients (mainly in China), with no reported side effects.
To justify their explanation, they showed me the following documents:
1.\tLetter from HSA dated 2003 granting permission for Nose Spa herbal liquid to be manufactured, imported and sold in Singapore.
2.\tClinical Trial report on Nose Spa therapy conducted in Wuhan Hospital in 2003.
3.\tCorporate information on the manufacturer of Nose Spa device and Nose Spa liquid.
4.\tLetter from HSA dated 2010 re-confirming the permission for Nose Spa herbal liquid to be imported and sold in Singapore.
5.\tLaboratory test reports confirming Nose Spa liquid is free of harmful heavy metals, microbial, and alcohol.
Well, I must say that I’m convinced; nevertheless, parents who are still in doubt are advised to approach the clinic directly for further clarification.
Hope the above information is useful to all. -
ying-ying thanks for posting that and taking the time to write nicely…
I feel so bad for Dr. Tan too… as I can see and feel the sincerity in her heart to offer these services to children in Singapore… we only have a few honest doctors these days who are true to their healing profession… and I can see that in Dr. Tan… she also did not fail to ensure they are covered legally to be able to defend themselves in unscrupulous comments like this…
