Bao Zhong Tang TCM Centre was set up in 2007 as a private joint venture of SingHealth and the Shanghai Hospital Development Centre (SHDC). Both partners have established an impressive track record in the operation of public hospitals in their respective countries. SHDC operates 23 hospitals in Shanghai while its local partner, whereas SingHealth manages the largest healthcare group in Singapore consisting of 3 hospitals, 5 National Specialist Centres and a network of 9 Polyclinics across the citystate. First started in the medical service centre in the Singapore General Hospital (SGH), Singapore’s largest acute tertiary hospital and national referral centre, Bao Zhong Tang has grown from strength to strength to become a premium TCM centre in Singapore that offers a comprehensive range of TCM therapies and medical services for its growing list of satisfied patients as well as fulfilling its role as a catalyst to promote and develop "Synergy Medicine”. To cater quality TCM service to our growing number of clients, we have recently moved to Novena Specialist Centre.

🩺 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐲𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬: 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞 𝐈𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭
Recently, many people have been getting sore throats — entire offices coughing, throats feeling dry, swollen, or stuck. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this “collective pharyngitis” happens when dryness, fatigue, and viral infections weaken the lungs and throat.

💨 Why your throat feels uncomfortable
Pharyngitis is inflammation of the throat’s lining, often caused by viruses like influenza or COVID-19, but also by bacteria, smoke, dust, or acid reflux. In TCM, external dryness invades the lungs, depleting fluids and damaging lung Qi, leading to dryness, soreness, and itchiness in the throat.

🌿 Common TCM patterns behind sore throats
• Yin deficiency and lung dryness: Dry, burning throat with dry cough and little phlegm.
• Lung and spleen deficiency: Persistent throat irritation, low energy, weak voice, loose stools.
• Phlegm-heat accumulation: Thick yellow phlegm, redness, swelling, and pain that worsen with talking or tiredness.
💧 Simple TCM ways to soothe the throat
• Stay hydrated: Sip warm water or herbal teas such as honeysuckle-chrysanthemum or monk fruit tea to moisten dryness.
• Gargle with salt water: Mix half a teaspoon of salt in a cup (250 ml) of warm water to cleanse the throat and reduce inflammation.
• Steam inhalation: Lean over a cup of warm water (below 60 °C) and breathe in the steam for 10–15 minutes twice a day.
• Acupoint massage: Gently press the Shaoshang (thumb tip), Yuji (base of thumb), and Zhaohai (inner ankle) points for 1–2 minutes each to relieve heat and irritation.
🍐 Healing foods for throat recovery
• Tremella, lily, and lotus seed porridge – nourishes Yin and eases dryness.
• Stewed pear with fritillary bulb and rock sugar – clears heat and soothes cough.
• Fig and lean meat soup – replenishes fluids and relieves soreness.
😷 Daily habits for prevention
Avoid spicy, fried, and cold foods. Keep indoor air moist, rest well, and stay away from secondhand smoke. Wear a mask in dusty areas and manage stress to support lung health.

💗 Whether your sore throat is caused by dryness, infection, or overuse, early attention and proper TCM care can bring quick relief and prevent recurrence.

⚠️ 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝟒𝟎?
Many women think missing their period means less trouble. But in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), not menstruating is never normal. Amenorrhea and premature menopause can signal deeper imbalances that raise risks of infertility and even cancer.

💗 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞
Amenorrhea is a temporary stop in menstruation caused by stress, weight loss, or hormonal imbalance and can often be restored. Menopause, however, marks a permanent end of ovarian function, usually between 45 and 55. If menstruation stops before 40, it may indicate premature ovarian failure and needs prompt testing.

🌸 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤𝐲
A sudden drop in estrogen affects the heart, bones, and metabolism. Long-term deficiency increases risks of:
• Osteoporosis and fractures
• Cardiovascular disease
• Severe menopausal symptoms
• Breast and endometrial cancers
Hormonal fluctuations or improper hormone therapy can further increase these risks.

🌿 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞
If you’re under 40 and notice these, seek help early:
• Irregular or missing periods
• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Mood swings or irritability
In TCM, these stem from liver and kidney deficiency or poor Qi flow. Treatment nourishes Yin, strengthens the kidneys, and restores balance.

💧 Early TCM regulation can protect fertility, ease discomfort, and preserve long-term vitality from within.

🔥 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫? 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧

Many believe sweating buckets means faster fat loss, but excessive sweating can actually drain energy and weaken the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), sweat is called the “fluid of the heart.” Losing too much can harm Qi, blood, and vitality.

💧 The Truth About Sweat and Weight Loss
From a modern view, sweating regulates temperature, not fat loss. You lose water, not fat, and the weight returns once you rehydrate. Real fat loss happens when calorie output exceeds intake.
From a TCM perspective, moderate sweating removes waste, but too much depletes vital energy. When Qi escapes with sweat, fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, and low immunity appear. Over time, this weakens the heart, spleen, and kidneys.

🌿 Who Should Avoid Heavy Sweating
Those with Qi or Yang deficiency, anemia, or recovering from illness should avoid long, sweaty workouts. The elderly and those who feel cold easily should also limit intense exercise.
Signs of over-sweating include fatigue after workouts, palpitations, light-headedness, poor sleep, or irregular menstruation. These show weakened Qi that needs rest, nourishment, and TCM regulation.

🍵 How TCM Rebalances Qi for Healthy Weight Loss
True weight loss in TCM restores balance, not exhaustion. Practitioners first assess body type, then tailor treatments to clear stagnation and strengthen organs.
• Herbal support with Poria cocos, hawthorn, and astragalus to strengthen the spleen and reduce dampness.
• Acupoint thread embedding stimulates metabolism for lasting results.
• Balanced diet guided by professionals reduces weight while preserving Qi.
• Moderate exercise like walking or yoga improves circulation without depleting energy.

🌸 Sustainable weight management begins with balance, not burnout. Protect your Qi, move mindfully, and let your body regain strength through TCM guidance.

💥 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐔𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐜𝐢𝐝? 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝟑 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐨 𝐋𝐚𝐭𝐞

High uric acid often goes unnoticed until pain begins. Many only discover it after swollen joints, kidney discomfort, or fatigue appear. It’s no longer just an adult condition, more children now face high uric acid due to poor diet and lifestyle.

🌿 What Happens When Uric Acid Rises Too High
When levels exceed 420μmol/L, crystals form in the blood and settle in joints, kidneys, and blood vessels, silently causing damage. Long-term high uric acid can lead to:
• Gout with redness, swelling, and sharp pain
• Kidney damage or failure
• High blood pressure and heart strain
• Metabolic issues like diabetes or obesity
• Kidney stones and urinary blockage
• Stroke and coronary heart disease

🍖 Foods That Worsen Uric Acid
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern nutrition both show that food directly affects uric acid. Professor Sun advises limiting:
• High purine foods such as organ meats, rich soups, shellfish, sardines, soybeans, mushrooms, and seaweed.
• High fructose foods including sweetened drinks, milk tea, fruit juices, and desserts, which raise uric acid and slow kidney excretion.
• Alcohol, especially beer, which triggers uric acid buildup and gout flare-ups after heavy meals or drinking.

🌸 Simple TCM Drinks to Support Balance
Alongside proper medication and diet, TCM helps regulate internal balance and improve circulation. Try:
• Boiled eggs with plantain to clear heat and promote urination.
• Ginger and tangerine peel tea to strengthen the spleen and remove dampness.
• Hawthorn and lily drink to remove fat, reduce dampness, and aid detoxification.

💧 Healthy habits like eating moderately, limiting alcohol, and managing stress naturally help lower uric acid. Early care and awareness guided by TCM protect your kidneys, joints, and long-term health.

The hottest days test both body and mind. Many think cooling off is simple, such as lowering the temperature or drinking something cold. Yet in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), these habits can quietly harm your health by trapping dampness, weakening yang energy, and upsetting internal balance.

🌿 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲
Using heavy air conditioning or eating too many chilled foods may feel refreshing at first but can make the body cold deep inside. The spleen and stomach lose warmth, leading to bloating, fatigue, and diarrhea. Over time, dampness accumulates and can worsen coughs, rhinitis, or joint pain.

💧 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭
Excessive sweating drains qi and weakens yin. This can strain the heart and cause dizziness or weakness. During very hot periods, avoid heavy exercise in the late morning or early afternoon. Gentle stretching or slow walking in shaded areas is more suitable.

🌙 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞
Late nights during hot weather easily create inner heat. The result is irritability, dry mouth, poor sleep, and skin breakouts. Resting before midnight allows the heart to calm and the blood to recover.

🔥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐤𝐞
If you experience dizziness, thirst, nausea, or confusion, stop activity immediately and move to a cool place. In TCM, there are two main types of heatstroke:
• Yang type, caused by direct exposure to heat, with red face and thirst for cold drinks.
• Yin type, caused by excessive cold foods that trap internal heat, with heaviness and little or no sweat.
Each pattern requires a different approach, cooling for yang type and gentle warming for yin type. Correct identification is important before applying remedies.

🍉 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞
Winter melon soup is better eaten than hugged. It clears heat and reduces dampness. Keep the peel and seeds when cooking for stronger effects. You can combine winter melon with lotus leaf, barley, or duck for extra balance. Sour plum soup also helps refresh fluids and ease fatigue.

🌸 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝
Pressing the Waiguan and Neiguan points on the wrist for several minutes can help regulate qi, relieve nausea, and reduce internal heat. Moxibustion during this time strengthens yang energy, clears dampness, and helps prevent cold-related issues in later months.

💗 The body’s balance depends not only on cooling down but on managing heat wisely. Listen to your limits, rest well, and use nature’s warmth to strengthen vitality instead of draining it.

A recent case of a young child with severe complications after surgery has many parents worried. 💔 Swollen tonsils and adenoids do not always need removal. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, these tissues help defend the body and screen microbes. Removing them without clear need can reduce protection and ignore the root cause.

✨ 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝
• Breathing and sleep remain severely affected after careful treatment
• Sleep studies show blocked airflow with oxygen drops at night
• Recurrent sinus or ear infections keep returning due to swelling

🌿 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬
Cold drinks, long hours in cool indoor air, irregular rest, and allergens can weaken lung and spleen function. This allows phlegm and heat to gather. Children may snore, breathe through the mouth, or have persistent nasal blockage. TCM aims to restore balance and clear phlegm while protecting healthy defense.

💧 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭
• Lung and spleen deficiency. Pale face, thin nasal discharge, low energy.
Support with astragalus and yam porridge, pseudostellaria with red dates tea, light ginseng chicken soup.
• Phlegm dampness. Thick nasal discharge, morning phlegm, greasy tongue coat.
Use tangerine peel with coix seed water, white radish soup, simple Sishen soup.
• Lung heat. Yellow mucus, sore throat, thirst.
Try sangju drink, tremella pear soup, Ophiopogon with Polygonatum soup.

🍎 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬
Keep rooms comfortable rather than very cold. Encourage side sleeping with a breathable pillow. Rinse the nose with mild saline. Offer warm and light meals such as yam, pumpkin, and millet. Limit cold drinks, fried foods, and spicy snacks. Gentle movement like Ba Duan Jin supports recovery. 🌸

Constant bloating, fatigue, and dull complexion are more than minor discomforts. They could be distress signals from your spleen. 💡 In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the spleen governs digestion, energy, and the transformation of food into qi and blood. When it becomes weak or enlarged, the whole body’s balance is affected.

The spleen also matters in modern physiology. It stores blood, filters waste, and helps defend against infection. An enlarged spleen can be linked to infections, blood disorders, or poor circulation. In TCM, common internal causes include spleen deficiency, liver depression, damp heat, and blood stasis.

✨ 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞
• Abdominal bloating or fullness after meals
• Persistent tiredness or heaviness in the limbs
• Pale or sallow complexion and poor appetite

💗 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬
A weakened spleen cannot transform food into usable energy, which leads to fatigue and fluid accumulation. Emotional stress, overwork, and frequent cold or greasy foods further impair its function. Stagnation can develop over time and the spleen may enlarge.

🌿 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲
• Qi stagnation with blood stasis: soothe the liver, regulate qi, invigorate blood
• Spleen deficiency with dampness: tonify the spleen, drain dampness
• Damp heat accumulation: clear heat, harmonize the middle

External methods such as acupuncture, moxibustion, and scraping can activate meridians, improve circulation, and ease discomfort. 🌸 Listening to these warning signs and seeking timely regulation helps protect energy, immunity, and long term health. Ignoring them may allow imbalance to deepen. Addressing them early restores vitality and harmony from within.

Long-term stress, suppressed emotions, and sleepless nights may do more than exhaust you, they can quietly harm your health. 🌿 In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this state is known as a “cancer-prone personality,” where chronic emotional imbalance weakens qi, disrupts organ harmony, and gives illness a place to grow.

𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐬:
• Constant tension and frustration affect the liver, leading to qi stagnation and chest tightness.
• Anger and irritability cause liver yang to rise, creating headaches and dizziness.
• Excess worry burdens the spleen, causing bloating or fatigue.
• Prolonged fear weakens the kidneys, leading to poor sleep and frequent urination.
Modern studies echo this connection, long-term depression and anxiety increase cancer risk by nearly 30%. When emotions linger, cortisol levels rise, immune cells weaken, and the body’s defences fall.

🌸 𝐓𝐂𝐌’𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐥𝐨𝐰:
• Massage Taichong (on the foot) to release liver tension.
• Tap the Tanzhong point on the chest to ease pressure.
• Brew calming teas with rose and tangerine peel to soothe mood and regulate qi.
Daily habits matter too, rest before 11pm, record your feelings, and spend time in uplifting company. Emotional release is not indulgence, it is medicine.

✨ Remember, “cancer personality” is not destiny, it is a warning and an opportunity. Healing begins when emotions move freely again.

𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐁𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐩 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬? 𝐈𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐁𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 🌿
Many people believe they can simply “tough it out” when they feel stressed or upset. But in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), constant emotional suppression may quietly harm your organs and even increase the risk of serious illness.
Dr. Deng Li from Gushengtang explains that a long-term pattern of stress, worry, or overthinking can form what TCM calls a “cancer-prone personality.” When emotions are trapped, they block qi, weaken the body’s defences, and create stagnation — a hidden foundation for disease.

💭 How emotions affect your organs:
• Anger affects the liver, leading to chest tightness and headaches.
• Overthinking weakens the spleen, causing fatigue and bloating.
• Fear harms the kidneys, leading to backache or frequent urination.
• Prolonged sadness burdens the lungs and drains vitality.
Modern studies support this ancient wisdom — people who experience chronic anxiety or depression have up to a 30% higher risk of developing cancer. Continuous stress raises cortisol, suppresses immunity, and allows unhealthy cells to thrive.

🌸 TCM’s explanation of how emotions “feed” disease:
• Qi stagnation: blocked liver qi leads to poor energy flow.
• Deficiency of vital energy: long-term stress depletes spleen and kidney qi.
• Phlegm and blood stasis: emotional buildup turns into internal “knots” or masses.

🌿 How to break the cycle:
• Practice emotional balance through the Five-Element method — channel anger into motivation, sadness into creativity, and worry into movement.
• Massage Taichong (foot) and Tanzhong (chest) points to release pressure and regulate qi.
• Brew rose, tangerine peel, and green plum tea to relieve stress and support digestion.
• Keep a steady routine: sleep before 11 pm, rest at noon, and protect your emotional space from negativity.

Remember, “cancer personality” is not fate — it’s a signal to restore harmony. In TCM, prevention begins with emotion. Release what’s heavy, nurture your qi, and protect the health that starts within. 🌿
