Gu Sheng Tang TCM 固生堂中医 Formerly Bao Zhong Tang TCM Centre

Gu Sheng Tang TCM 固生堂中医 Formerly Bao Zhong Tang TCM Centre Dedicated to Tradition. We offer a comprehensive range of TCM services.

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.

To cater quality TCM service to our growing number of clients, we have recently moved to Novena Specialist Centre. We are now located at the heart of the medical campus, where John Hopkins Singapore branch, Novena Mount Elizabeth and Tan Tock Seng Hospital are all within close proximity.

🌿 After flu or pneumonia, many people struggle with lingering cough, weak energy, or slow recovery. In TCM, these issues are often linked to lung, spleen, and kidney deficiency. Supporting qi and yin while clearing phlegm is key.

⚠️ Signs of deficiency-related cough:
• Dry cough without phlegm, or sticky phlegm hard to expel
• Cough triggered by talking too much or exposure to cold air
• Shortness of breath, chest tightness, or itchy throat
• Night sweats, dry mouth, or fatigue after long illness

🥣 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝟏: 𝐓𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐤 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐩
• Ingredient: Tiger milk mushroom (tiger milk lingzhi), popular in Southeast Asia for easing coughs, especially in children.
• 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞: 10g tiger milk mushroom, 5g tangerine peel, 10g apricot kernels, 50g lean meat. Stew into soup.
• 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭: Relieves cough and asthma, regulates qi, clears phlegm.

🥘 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝟐: 𝐍𝐢𝐮 𝐃𝐚𝐥𝐢 (𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐧 𝐆𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐠) 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐩
• Ingredient: Niu Dali, sweet and neutral, enters the lung, spleen, and kidney meridians. Strengthens tendons, nourishes lungs, and supports recovery.
• 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞: 20g Niu Dali, 20g dried yam, 3 figs, 200g pork ribs. Stew into soup.
• 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭: Strengthens spleen, replenishes qi, moistens lungs, relieves cough.

✨ By using these two soups, TCM helps restore strength, ease persistent cough, and support long-term immunity. 🌸

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡
🌿 In TCM, the spleen and stomach are the root of qi and blood. Their strength often shows on the face. If two or more of the signs below appear, it may mean your spleen and stomach need support.

⚠️ Four Facial Warning Signs
• 🟡 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐨𝐧: Dull or yellow skin suggests weak qi and blood.
• 👄 𝐋𝐢𝐩𝐬: Pale, dry, or peeling lips signal spleen deficiency and poor blood supply.
• 👀 𝐄𝐲𝐞𝐬: Eye bags, fatigue, or blurry vision point to weak water metabolism.
• 👃 𝐍𝐨𝐬𝐞: Redness, dryness, or nosebleeds can reflect poor circulation in the nasal area.

☀️ Early Summer Focus: Protect Spleen and Stomach
Hot and humid weather strains digestion. The key is to strengthen qi, support the spleen, and clear dampness.
• Eat at regular times, avoid being too hungry or too full.
• Choose foods that are light and easy to digest.

🍵 Daily Tips for Conditioning
• 𝐃𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲: Millet porridge, yam, red dates, and easy-to-digest proteins nourish qi and blood. Add ingredients like poria, coix seed, or hawthorn to strengthen the spleen and clear dampness.
– Tangerine peel and coix porridge strengthens spleen and kidneys.
– Five-fingered ginseng and barley soup clears dampness and supports qi.
• 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞: Excessive worry injures the spleen. Relax with music, meditation, or light activity to reduce stress.
• 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: Codonopsis, atractylodes, poria, and tangerine peel are often prescribed to regulate digestion. Use only under professional guidance.
• 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐞𝐬: Acupuncture, moxibustion, and cupping regulate qi, warm the spleen and stomach, and improve absorption.
• 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞: Keep living spaces dry, rest well, and practice gentle exercise such as walking or Tai Chi.

✨ By supporting the spleen and stomach, you improve qi and blood, restore balance, and keep your face bright and healthy. 🌸

𝐓𝐂𝐌 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐛𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧
🌿 Pain is one of the most common health complaints. Whether it’s headaches, neuralgia, or pain in the neck, back, and joints, TCM views pain as linked to heart function, qi flow, and blood circulation.

❤️ Pain and the Heart
• The heart governs blood vessels. Poor circulation causes stasis, blocked meridians, and pain.
• The heart houses the spirit. Chronic pain and itching affect mood, sleep, and mental state.
• Many stubborn pains, from migraines to gout, dysmenorrhea, and shingles, are connected to heart and kidney yang deficiency combined with cold evil.

🌱 TCM Strategies for Pain
• 𝐃𝐲𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐡𝐞𝐚: Not always a “cold uterus.” In TCM, excess heart fire heats the blood, leading to clots and lower abdominal pain.
• 𝐆𝐨𝐮𝐭: Treating the blood comes first. When circulation improves, “wind” pain resolves. The heart, as source of blood flow, is central.
• 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐬: Caused by excessive fire and heat. Early acupuncture at Ashi and Jiaji points may stop progression and prevent long-term neuralgia.
• 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬: Conditions like cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation need both TCM syndrome differentiation and modern diagnostics to avoid only treating symptoms.

🍵 Classic Prescription: Ma Huang Fu Zi Xi Xin Tang
• Found in Treatise on Febrile Diseases, this formula uses ephedra to dispel cold and aconite to warm and support heart yang.
• Applied to many pain conditions caused by yang deficiency and cold obstruction.
• Represents “different diseases, same treatment” one method addressing multiple pain syndromes.

✨ Clinical Note
A woman in her 60s suffered glossopharyngeal neuralgia for years. Western treatment offered little relief. With TCM diagnosis of heart and kidney yang deficiency and blood stasis, she received a modified Ma Huang Fu Zi Xi Xin Tang. After two visits, her pain resolved.

💖 Takeaway
TCM views pain not only as a symptom but as a reflection of qi, blood, and organ balance. By nourishing heart and kidney yang, improving circulation, and combining acupuncture with herbal therapy, many stubborn pains can be relieved.

𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬: 𝟑 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝𝐧’𝐭 𝐈𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐫𝐞

🌿 More people are being diagnosed with lung nodules during health checks. Most are harmless, but some may show signs of becoming cancerous. Knowing the early warning signals is key.
⚠️ 3 Cancer-Linked Changes in Lung Nodules
• 📏 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞: Nodules larger than 8mm with burrs or lobulated edges may signal phlegm and blood stasis combining with toxins.
• ⏱️ 𝐑𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐝 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡: If the nodule doubles in size within 6 months or grows more than 5mm in a year, it may indicate stronger pathogenic activity.
• 😮‍💨 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬: Persistent cough, coughing blood, night sweats, loss of appetite, or unexplained weight loss should raise concern.
🌱 TCM View of Lung Nodules
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, nodules are linked to stagnation, qi stagnation, phlegm retention, and blood stasis. Treatment focuses on restoring balance:
• 💨 𝐐𝐢 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Often tied to stress and liver qi blockage. Herbs like bupleurum and turmeric regulate qi.
• 💧 𝐏𝐡𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Excess phlegm blocks the lungs, leading to cough and heaviness. Herbs like bamboo shavings and tangerine peel help clear phlegm.
• ❤️‍🩹 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐬: Poor circulation can form localized stagnation. Herbs like Salvia miltiorrhiza and Panax notoginseng promote blood flow.

🏠 Supportive Care at Home
• 🧘 Qigong breathing: Practice the “Xi” sound exercise of the Six-Character Formula daily to move qi and support the lungs.

• 🍵 Diet therapy:
– Phlegm type: tangerine peel + barley porridge
– Qi stagnation: rose + jasmine + tangerine peel tea
– Blood stasis: Sanqi + Salvia tea

• ✋ Acupoint massage:
– Taiyuan point (inner wrist) to regulate lung qi
– Jingqu point (inner forearm) to clear the lungs
– Chize point (inside elbow crease) to relieve cough and asthma

✨ Most lung nodules are benign, but staying alert to warning signs and supporting balance with TCM can protect long-term health. Always seek professional evaluation for any changes. 🌿

🌸 After 35, many notice dullness, dark spots, or uneven skin tone. In TCM, these changes are linked to spleen weakness, liver qi stagnation, kidney deficiency, and poor blood circulation. Simple daily habits can help restore balance.

🌿 1. Strengthen the Spleen, Replenish Qi and Blood
• Signs: pale or puffy complexion, poor appetite, bloating, tooth-marked tongue.
• Eat a small amount of yam in the morning to support spleen function.
• Massage Zusanli (four fingers below the knee) for 3 minutes daily to improve qi and blood.
🍵 2. Soothe the Liver and Regulate Qi
• Stress and late nights stagnate liver qi, leading to chloasma and dullness.
• Drink rose tea with tangerine peel to regulate qi and brighten the complexion.
• Massage the liver meridian from thigh to knee before bed, 50 strokes on each side.
• Sleep before 11pm to protect liver health.
❄️ 3. Nourish the Kidneys to Improve Skin Tone
• Signs: dark circles, hair loss, weak memory, lower back soreness.
• Mulberry and wolfberry tea nourishes yin and blood, easing dryness and poor sleep.
• Massage the Shenshu point on the lower back to strengthen kidney qi and vitality.
💧 4. Promote Circulation and Care for Skin
• Gentle facial scraping boosts blood flow and brightens skin.
• Herbal mask: mix atractylodes powder, poria powder, and honey to reduce dullness.

☀️ Everyday Prevention
• Protect from photoaging with physical sunscreen or UV-blocking masks.
• Moisturize daily with cream to slow skin aging.
• Keep balanced routines and avoid irregular skincare.

✨ Healthy skin comes from within. By caring for spleen, liver, and kidneys and pairing it with external care, you help reduce dullness and spots naturally. 💖

⚠️ Helicobacter pylori is listed by WHO as a Class 1 carcinogen. Early testing and proper treatment lower the risk of ulcers and stomach cancer.
🌿 Many people have no symptoms. When symptoms appear, they may include upper abdominal pain, bloating, belching, acid reflux, nausea, early fullness, or bad breath.

How it spreads
• 🥢 Oral-to-oral: sharing utensils, kissing, or feeding mouth-to-mouth.
• 🚰 Fecal-to-oral: contaminated food or water.

Who should get tested
• 🩺 Anyone with persistent indigestion, ulcers, or a family history of stomach cancer.
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Household members of someone who has tested positive.

How to test
• 🌬️ Breath test (carbon 13 or carbon 14) — simple, accurate, and noninvasive.
• 💩 Stool antigen test : useful and noninvasive.
• 🔬 Biopsy during endoscopy : confirms infection.
• 🧪 Blood antibody test : only shows past infection, not current status.

Treatment Basics
• 💊 Standard care is bismuth quadruple therapy: a PPI + bismuth + two antibiotics for 10–14 days.
• ✅ Complete the full course. Stopping early leads to failure and resistance.
• 🔁 Retest about 4 weeks after treatment, stopping PPIs for at least 2 weeks before the test.

TCM Support
• 🌱 TCM views this as damp-heat with spleen and stomach weakness. Treatment focuses on strengthening digestion, moving qi, and clearing dampness.
• 🍲 A gentle diet helps recovery: warm cooked foods, light soups, and regular mealtimes.
• ⚠️ Herbal formulas should only be prescribed by a licensed TCM physician.
Prevention at home
• 🍽️ Use serving spoons and separate tableware. Avoid sharing chopsticks or utensils.
• 🧼 Wash hands before meals and after using the toilet. Keep dishes and kitchens clean.
• 🔥 Eat thoroughly cooked food. Avoid raw or untreated water.
• 🪥 Do not share toothbrushes. Replace them monthly.
• 👪 Ensure family members with infection are treated to reduce reinfection.
• 🦷 Visit clinics with strict hygiene standards for dental work or endoscopy.

🌿 Seek medical advice early if symptoms persist.

🌿 In hot and humid conditions, the main challenge is not cold and dryness but heat, dampness, and stagnation. In TCM, these can weaken the spleen, trap fluids, and disturb qi flow. Daily care helps strengthen immunity and maintain balance year-round.

🌸 Practical TCM Tips for Daily Care

• 💧 Begin the day with warm water. This supports digestion, clears overnight dampness, and activates qi.
• ☀️ Limit direct exposure to midday heat. A short walk outdoors boosts circulation, but balance with shade to avoid excess heat.
• 🛁 Relax with a warm foot soak at night. It relieves fatigue, improves sleep, and promotes qi flow. Add ginger slices if prone to cold hands and feet.
• 🌙 Keep a steady sleep routine. Resting before midnight restores yin and recharges the body.
• 🤲 Massage simple acupoints. Hegu, Zusanli, and Taixi help reduce dampness, support digestion, and boost vitality.
• 🍵 Eat foods that clear heat and dampness. Bitter melon, lotus root, mung beans, and barley are helpful. Avoid greasy and overly spicy foods.
• 🍚 Add black foods in moderation. Black sesame, black beans, and mulberries support kidney qi and long-term resilience.
• 🏃 Choose gentle activity. Walking, swimming, or qigong promotes qi movement and helps expel dampness without overheating.
• 💖 Stay calm emotionally. Stress and anger disrupt liver qi. Light meditation or breathing practices restore balance.

✨ In hot and humid weather, wellness means managing heat and dampness while keeping qi flowing smoothly. 🌿 Small, steady habits build a stronger and healthier body.

🌿 Rhinitis is more than a seasonal cold. Frequent sneezing, congestion, and runny nose can disrupt daily life, especially when attacks return again and again. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers approaches to reduce recurrence and ease symptoms.

🌸 How Rhinitis Shows Up
• Sneezing in bursts, often in the morning or at night.
• Large amounts of clear, watery discharge or sticky white mucus.
• Nasal congestion that can be mild or severe.
• Nose itching, sometimes spreading to the eyes.
• Temporary loss of smell when heart and lung Qi are weak.

🍵 TCM View of Rhinitis
• The root is often “cold in the lungs and spleen.”
• Treatment focuses on warming organs, dispelling cold, and strengthening Qi.
• When spleen and stomach are supported, the lungs function better and symptoms lessen.

🌿 TCM Treatments
• Xiaoqinglong Decoction helps dispel cold and reduce sneezing, mucus, and itching.
• Lizhong Decoction warms the middle, strengthens the spleen, and supports the lungs.
• Combining these for about ten days often eases symptoms, followed by pills to consolidate results.
• Ginseng Guipi Pills, Shiquan Dabu Pills, or Yupingfeng Granules are sometimes used to replenish Qi and build stronger defense. ⚠️ These prescriptions must be taken only under professional guidance.

🧘‍♀️ Supportive Measures
• Wash your nose daily with warm saline to keep passages clear.
• Xanthium sibiricum oil drops are used externally in TCM to clear nasal passages.

⚠️ The herb is toxic if taken internally, so it must never be ingested without medical supervision.
• If discharge turns yellow or foul smelling, this points to sinusitis, not rhinitis, and requires different treatment.

✨ 𝐑𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬 can return often, but TCM provides long-term approaches to strengthen your body, ease symptoms, and reduce recurrence. Building resilience step by step brings lasting relief. 🌿

⚠️ Belching, hiccups, stomach pain, and bloating may look minor, but sometimes they signal early changes linked to gastric cancer. Early care is important.

🌿 In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), chronic atrophic gastritis and related conditions are seen as precancerous, not yet cancer. With treatment and lifestyle changes, some conditions can be slowed or even reversed. ✨

🌸 What Are Precancerous Conditions?
• Chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia raise risk but are not cancer.
• Long-term inflammation progresses step by step, from gastritis to atrophy, then to precancerous lesions.
• Early attention reduces risk and supports recovery.

🍵 Why Does Atrophic Gastritis Occur?
• Helicobacter pylori infection affects many patients.
• Rich foods, alcohol, and stress weaken the stomach and spleen.
• Lack of activity slows qi movement and harms digestion.

🌿 TCM Approaches to Support the Stomach
• Relieve stagnation to ease bloating and poor appetite.
• Clear dampness, toxins, and phlegm to restore balance.
• Strengthen the spleen and stomach to improve motility and energy.

🧘‍♀️ How You Can Lower Risk
• Treat Helicobacter pylori promptly.
• Limit alcohol, processed foods, and excess fried dishes.
• Maintain steady routines with balanced diet and activity.
• Manage stress and avoid overwork.
• People over 40 or with family history should get endoscopy checks every 3 to 5 years.

✨ Protecting your stomach health is possible with awareness and steady care.

🌱 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐞 (𝐓𝐂𝐌)

Is your child feeling left out because they are shorter than their peers? Or perhaps they dream of becoming a pilot, athlete, or model but worry their height might hold them back. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers natural and holistic approaches to support healthy growth by strengthening the spleen and stomach, balancing the body, and improving nutrient absorption.

🍵 Unlike generic supplements, TCM tailors height support plans to each child’s body type. Safe herbal remedies and external therapies are used to gently encourage bone development and regulate growth hormone activity. More than just adding height, these treatments often improve appetite, ease digestive discomfort, reduce irritability, and support overall well-being.

👧 For children who are picky eaters or often fall sick, growth can easily lag behind classmates. With TCM guidance on diet, lifestyle, and customized remedies, many children not only catch up but also gain healthier digestion and stronger immunity.

🧒 For older children, especially those experiencing early puberty, growth may slow down after menstruation begins. TCM care can still help by regulating the body, enhancing bone health, and supporting continued growth alongside exercise and proper rest.

📏 Parents are encouraged to monitor their child’s height every six to twelve months and seek guidance if growth is less than five centimeters per year. Keeping a record of bone age checks and health history can also help TCM practitioners design the most effective plan.

✨ Childhood is a short but critical window for growth. By nurturing the spleen, stomach, and overall balance, TCM helps children absorb nutrients more effectively and develop with confidence. Beyond height, the holistic benefits of TCM can improve digestion, reduce allergies, and support healthier long-term development.

🌿 Every child deserves to grow strong, healthy, and confident. With proper care and early attention, height can become less of a worry and more of a natural journey of growth.

🌿 Stomach health deserves attention. Around 80% of people worldwide experience pain, acid reflux, or other discomfort, and chronic gastritis can progress if left unchecked. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) teaches us that the spleen and stomach are the foundation of energy and nourishment, so protecting them is key.

🍵 Chronic atrophic gastritis is one condition that requires care. Symptoms include stomach pain, fullness after small meals, reflux, loss of appetite, and fatigue. If you notice three or more of these, a gastroscopy is recommended. Early action can prevent more serious problems.

⚠️ The stomach has what TCM calls five fears, which can quietly damage health over time:
• Fear of anger: Stress and negative emotions disrupt gastric function.
• Fear of being overwhelmed: Overeating burdens the stomach.
• Fear of stimulation: Spicy foods, coffee, alcohol, and cold drinks irritate the mucosa.
• Fear of greasy: Fried foods and fatty meat strain digestion.
• Fear of pickled and smoked foods: These contain salt and nitrites that harm the lining.

🌸 To support recovery, TCM recommends gentle food remedies. Codonopsis with red dates tea strengthens the spleen and replenishes qi. Yam and job’s tears porridge improves digestion. Amomum with crucian carp soup promotes appetite. Dendrobium stewed with lean meat nourishes yin and clears heat. These dishes are soothing and can complement treatment.

✨ Beyond food, daily habits are equally important. Eat on time, chew slowly, and keep meals warm and light. Sleep well, get moderate exercise, and protect your abdomen from cold. Oral health also matters, since bacteria in the mouth can worsen gastric issues.

💧 A healthy stomach brings strength, energy, and balance to the whole body. Care begins with small daily choices and awareness of what your body needs. Protect your spleen and stomach, and you protect your vitality.
