1. Instant Soluble Chinese medicine
The so called ‘instant soluble’ Chinese medicine is Chinese medicine in powder or granular forms. It is extracted, filtered and condensed from the original herbs without losing their potency. Yi Sheng’s instant soluble Chinese medicines are all of high quality from Singapore’s government licensed TCM medicine producers and manufacturers.
Similar to traditional Chinese medicine, the instant soluble Chinese medicine can be a single herb or a combination of several herbs. It is convenient and takes little time to prepare, unlike the traditional herbs which takes hours to decoct.
2. Acupuncture Treatment
In addition to the traditional forms of acupuncture, some of the latest techniques are also practiced at Yi Sheng as part of its overall objectives in achieving optimum effectiveness and services to their patients. Below are some of the special techniques available at the clinic.
Seven Pin Needles Technique This method requires the practitioner to apply a set of special needles (‘Seven Pin Needles) to slightly tap onto the surface of the skin in order to dredge the meridians. It regulates the nerve system function and thus is beneficial for stabilizing the blood pressure. Seven Pin Needles is very effective in treating insomnia, sensitive skin, finger numbness, back pain and indigestion.
Wrist-ankle Acupuncture Wrist-ankle acupuncture is to stimulate points on the wrist or ankle in a surface level just slightly beneath the skin. It can be applied on treating facial muscle paralysis or spasm, numbness, skin itchiness, sleeping disorder, dizziness, sweatiness or lack of sweat, shoulder pain, back pain and stomach pain, etc.
Abdominal Acupuncture Abdominal Acupuncture is to distribute the needles around the ‘Shenque’ point in the centre of the navel. The abdomen, which has ‘Shenque’ as its centre, is a central regulating system which not only relates to our blood and ‘qi’ circulation, but also plays as a high level center control system. Therefore, putting needles around “Shenque” point is extremely beneficial in treating skin problems, allergies, cancer and diabetes with significant and positive therapeutic effects.
Balance Acupuncture Balance Acupuncture is to use needles to stimulate nerve trunks or nerve branches which will send signals to the brain and the central nervous system directly. The central nervous system will react by secreting a great deal of neurotransmitters that acts as an important role in treating pain, metabolic disorders and other problems. This technique restores our central nerve system and provides suitable adjustment to the problematic parts through the nervous system. The body’s disrupted immune system and metabolic functions are therefore restored to a new balance. Pains are also relieved and the body’s own anti-inflammatory ability is rejuvenated.
Ear Point Treatment
Ear-Point treatment is to administer a tiny bean shaped needle into the acupuncture points on the ear and than securing it with plasters. Patients can press the points every day to ensure the effectiveness. Insomnia, depression, obesity and metabolic disorders can be well treated using this technique.
Blood Detox Technique This technique is one of the ways to stimulate various acupuncture points without actually inserting a needle into the body. The main objective is to stimulate and regulate the blood circulation and adjust the balance in yin and yang, thus rejuvenating the relationship of the internal organ system.
Some of the discomforts in applying the seven pin needles technique include fever, pain and aches, anxiety and depression, hypertension, blood stasis, inflammation, itchiness, skin and allergic problems.
Cupping Technique Cupping is a method in which the practitioner applies cups heated with fire to the skin. The skin and superficial muscle is drawn into and held in the cup forming an area of blood stasis, depending on the degree of toxicity in the muscle tissue. This treatment will result in either only a slight reddening of the skin due to slight toxicity or a rather severe looking bruise when patient has high blood toxicity.
Cupping is applied to certain acupuncture points as well as to regions of the body that are affected with pain. Cupping is mainly recommended for the treatment of pain, gastro-intestinal disorders, lung diseases and numbness as well as other disorders. This technique promotes ‘qi’ and blood circulation, warms the meridian to remove blockages, combats anti-inflammation effects so as to reduce pain, remove dampness and clots from meridian for better circulation as well as expel heat.
3. Meridian Energy Therapy
Building upon conventional therapeutic methods, meridian energy therapy utilizes techniques from re-alignment therapy and energy psychology that applies simple steps to initiate changes in our well being. It works by stimulating energy points on the surface of the skin which when paired with specific psychological techniques, can shift the brain’s electrochemistry, stimulates metabolism and rejuvenates inner self healing power.
Spinal Rejuvenation Therapy
There is a reflex connection between every organ system and the spine. The malfunction of an organ will produce tension in a specific part of the spine, whilst a misalignment of the spine will cause tension in a specific organ. Additionally, various acupuncture points along the bladder meridian, close to the spine are linked to specific organs.
The impassability of the spinal energy occurs if there is an obvious spinal energy blockage which creates the impact on both physical movement and internal organ malfunctions. To solve the spinal problems and ensure that energy flow is throughout the entire spine, a technique to dredge the meridians, re-balance the spinal energy and expel the entire interference of the spinal columns and recover the pelvic normal condition is needed.
The spine is the central which controls our activities. It is also the source of information which directly connects the outer informative world and our inner organ systems. Spinal rejuvenation therapy is a means to rebalance the yin and yang of the spine internally and externally.
There are two different approaches in spinal rejuvenation therapy. One is the technique of manipulation directly on the problematic region whilst the other relies on methods such as acupuncture, herbal remedies and exercises to enable the energy balance of the spine. This technique takes the entire spine as a whole rather than focus on any part of it.
Emotional Energy Therapy
Human beings are organic filled with dynamic energy movement. Any disordered energy flow usually results in mental and physical problems.
When a person is healthy, our body, energy and bodily functions are well controlled and managed by its own healing power. With influences of the environment, dietary issues and stress, the flow of inner energy develops and creates blockages. This will gradually accumulate leading to various illnesses. Emotional energy therapy emphasizes on revitalizing our own energy and enables our own healing power to heal instead of working directly on the problematic region of the people.
Energy is the fundamental existence of the world. The quantum medicine theory indicates every single thing has its own frequency and energy no matter its visibility or invisibility. It also pointed out that there are certain frequencies and energy movement which represent our physical body, our thoughts and our emotions.
Unhappiness is developed from various aspects. Unhappy emotions are stored and memorized by our cells which in turn, will be manifested by our physical problems. Symptoms such as pain, aches, ulcers and allergic symptoms may lead to psychosomatic problems like anxiety and depression. Through energy healing, toxins are removed and normal energy flow recovered thus allowing us to regain our mental and physical health.
Besides acupuncture, tapping certain meridian points can restore energy balance to the system, minimize or eliminate negative emotions from the meridian system thus leading to improved self healing power.
