The number one question my patients always ask is, “what is the best food?” What do you think is the best food in the world? Is it the broccoli or the açai berry?
Every food is the best food. This is because every food has its own nutritional profiles and values that are unique to that food group itself. When you eat everything in moderation, you have all the “best food” in your body. The key here is moderation and how the food is being prepared. In general, food is healthier and preserves the most nutrients when it is steamed, poached, boiled or lightly stir fried.
That said, there are definitely some food that should be avoided by people with certain specific medical conditions.
So, go dig your market basket and cook a nutritious everything-also-have dish now!

Hailed as the Vitamin C of TCM, the Immunity Booster is adapted from a classic formula of 600 years old. Is this a concoction of a myriad of expensive and exotic herbs? Surprise! There are only 3 normal inexpensive herbs you can easily access.
Astragalus 黄芪 - is my personal favourite and is also commonly used in naturopathy. It has significant effects in enhancing our immunity and our energy, forming a shield against external pathogens.
Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae 白术 - is a herb we commonly use to treat and improve digestive functions. As per modern scientific research, many of our immune cells are found in our gut. It is amazing how our ancestors can see this link between our gut health and immunity. In this formula, it helps to increase the immune boosting effects of astragalus, while also improving your digestive health.
Divaricate Saposhnykovia Root 防风 - traditionally used to treat the common cold and flu, its usage here is self explanatory.
In this formula, equally important is to know how much to use for each herb. The golden ratio is 2:2:1 (astragalus:atractylodis:saposhnykovia).
Time to boost your immunity today and please hor, stop visiting the KTVs. Otherwise, you eat a ton of this also can’t help you!

The distinctiveness of TCM lies in its customised solution to your health concerns. In TCM, there is no one-size fits all as every body is different. This is why, certain herbs work for some, while don’t for others. This concept runs through the whole basic foundation of TCM, making each and every prescription (whether it is herbal prescription, acupuncture or other treatment modalities) uniquely yours ❤️

When we first started out somewhere in the middle of Circuit Breaker last year, we were not even sure if we could make it past the first 3 months. In fact, I felt kinda “forced” into it. I just knew that I must make it work, because I was in dire state (with piling bills, divorce and general things) and I had to make sure that at the very least, my son could thrive. I was literally on survival mode! Sleeping at 4am and waking up at 7am became the default setting.
1 year on, we are still here and this means so much to me. This 1 year has been eye opening, bumping into a lot of walls along the way. That said, I was also given many new opportunities I never thought I could ever achieve. My circle expanded beyond my imagination and I met many famous people I never thought I ever could. It also never crossed my mind I could one day become a panel doctor of a rather prestigious European insurance company.
I believe we could scale greater heights and help more people in need as we trudge into potential further expansions next year. We currently have one in-house product under our belt and intend to have a few more in the coming years. Kindness, compassion and gratitude are what we hold dearly at the core of our business.
I would like to extend my heartfelt and utmost gratitude to each and everyone who has helped us along the way, especially during the initial stages. I would also like to thank my family and loved ones. Special thanks to my son for being understanding and learning to be independent. I never could have done it without everyone of you. Thank you, thank you and thank you so much!
