    • RE: TCM and TCM Clinic for kids

      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.

      Rainbowmagic:
      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.
      Hi Rainbowmagic,

      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!

      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.

      Hi,

      Just want to share what I like about Herbal Basic compare to other TCM clinics, beside being clean and children friendly, they also seem to be quite cautious about spreading of diseases among children. Normally their pediatric massage is done in a common room with 3 beds, but when a child is diagnosed to be ill they will quarantine the child.

      My child had high fever last month and we went there for xiao er tuina and medication, after the doctor diagnosed my child, she immediately put my child in an isolated room, and both the tuina and nose spa were performed in the private room separated from the rest of the children.

      I was very impressed with what they did, as the other clinics which I went to in the past didn’t practice that!

      Hi Schen & happyday2,


      Sorry for the late reply, coz I was away for a short trip.

      The clinic we went to was Herbal-Basic located at Havelock Road, you can find them on Facebook or call them at 6376 2345.

      For the Bio-Light Cough Massage Therapy, you need to do it consecutively for 3 to 5 days depending on your child’s condition. My boy did it for 3 days and he recovered well, I think we paid $40 + per visit.

      If your objective is to do away with oral medication, be it Western or TCM, this could be a good alternative!

      I wish your child recovers soon.

    • RE: All About Flu and Cough

      If your child has been coughing non-stop for few months despite taking all kinds of medicines, will you believe it if someone would to tell you that it can be cured in 3 days?!


      My 5 years old boy was down with persistent cough for almost 3 months, seen PD few times and was given long list of medicines including antibiotics, singulair, fluimucil, cophadyl, ventolin etc, but nothing seemed to work well as his condition continued to worsen. I got so worried that he might be “overdosed” and would suffer the side effects, as the PD kept giving more and more medicines each time, so I started to research on the Internet for alternative solution.

      I chanced upon the Facebook page of a TCM clinic which mentions they have an external therapy for cough specially for children, so we rushed down immediately. The lady doctor diagnosed my son and said that there’s whizzing sound in his lung but she told me not to worry as he will be okay in 3 days by doing the Bio-Light cough massage therapy consecutively. She even advised me to stop his western medicines. I found it hard to believe! But anyway, we proceeded with the treatment as the doctor sounded very confident.

      One the first night, my son continued to cough and threw out lots of phlegm, but the next morning, his cough was very much reduced, and from 2nd night onward I hardly heard him cough except occasionally 1 to 2 sound at times, and then his cough gradually faded off after the 3 days of treatment.

      I think the Bio-Light cough treatment was rather amazing, and the most wonderful part of it is… no medicine to take at all!!
