Chinese medicines, including herbs, processed herbal materials and patent prescriptions, are medications prescribed under the guidance of TCM theory. Prior to Qing Dynasty, Chinese medicine was referred to as materia medica or raw medicine.
Since the majority of Chinese medicines are plant-based, it is also termed Chinese herbal medicine.
In fact, animal products and minerals are used in prescriptions as well. Sometimes simple processing is required, such as the preparation of indigo and gelatinum asini.
In Chinese medicine, decoction is a mean of herb preparation involving first soaking, then boiling in ceramic pot, and lastly straining.
To maximize the efficacy of the herbs when brewing, some are added early, some latter; some are bagged, some need to be melted first. Some others are to be dissolved in water and taken directly without boiling.
Generally speaking, minerals and crustaceans, such as fossil fragment (LongGu) and ostrea (MuLi), need to be boiled first; aromatic herbs with volatile properties, such as peppermint (BoHe), Herba Schizonepetae (JingHuiJie), Agastache Rugosus (HuoXiang), need to be boiled later to prevent loss of medicinal efficacy; a few other ingredients, such as pearl powder (ZhenZhuFen) or “raw powder”, can be grinded down to powder for oral intake or added to the concoction.
There’s no hierarchy among decoction, pill, and powder. They are various forms of medicine administered to patients according to the conditions.
Currently, manufacturing procedure for scientific Chinese medicine is the same as decoction. It also undergoes boiling process to extract active ingredients from the herbs, which are then concentrated to form scientific Chinese medicine. It is safe, effective, portable and convenient, thus, widely accepted by the general public. In most cases, scientific Chinese medicine along is sufficient for treatment.
For other critical or complex cases, decoction may be more appropriate. The physician will prescribe suitable formula based on patient’s constitution and illness. When it comes to decoction, there is a wide selection of herbs with excellent potency, efficacy and bioavailability. The physician can also adjust the formula anytime to coincide with changes in the progression of illness and patient constitution, allowing maximal efficacy of the herbs.
Glazed clay herb cooker is the best choice, but any ceramic, stainless steel will do. Do not use a container that’s made out of cast iron, aluminum or copper.
Lightly rinse the herbs and soak in adequate amount of water (fully cover the herbs). Allow the herbs to soak for 30-60 minutes. Do not discard the water. Save it for boiling.
Apply moderate pressure to the herb, and make sure the water covers the herbs by 2cm for the first decoction. After the initial decoction is completed, pour the fluid through a strainer, add more water in the pot for second decoction. This time the water only needs to cover the herbs by 0.5-1cm. Add more boiling water as needed during the process.
The most common method of brewing a decoction is to decoct the ingredients twice. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then bring down the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain the fluid, and keep herbs in the pot for second decoction. Add water, and bring it to boil again. Simmer for 15 minutes. Strain the fluid and add it to those from the initial decoction. Mix well.
*Special instructions:
“Boil first”: To increased herbal solubility or reduce toxicity. Usually boil the herb first for 20 minutes. e.g. Turtle shell (BieJia), tortoise shell (GuiBan), Gypsum fibrosum (ShiGao), fossil fragments (LongGu), etc. Aconitum (FuZi) needs to be boiled first for 30-60mins (to reduce the toxicity).
“Boil later”: To reduce loss of volatile oil and active ingredients. Do not add the herb until the last 3-5 minutes. e.g. Agastache rugosus (HuoXiang), Eupatorium (PeiLa), Peppermint (BoHe), Reum officinale (DaHuang), etc.
“Melt”: Herbs containing large amount of gelatin or viscosity will normally melt easily with heat. e.g. Colla corii asini (EJiao), Antler gelatin (LuJiaoJiao) and Tortoise-plastron gelatin (GuiBanJiao).
“Dissolve”: To be dissolved in water and taken directly. Boiling is inappropriate in this case, due to high volatility of the herbs. e.g. Anredera cordifolia (ChuanQ) (grind to powder), Cinnamomum cassia (RouGui) (grind to powder).
Follow physician’s instructions; typically take the medicine 3 times a day— pre-prandial, post-prandial and at bedtime. As a rule of thumb, regular medicine should be taken an hour after meal; nourishing medicine should be taken before meal; stomach aggravating medicine should be taken after meal; narcotics should be taken at bedtime.
While taking the medicine, avoid raw, cold, greasy and spicy food that may affect absorption of medicine. Other medications should be taken at least 30 minutes apart. If you are not feeling well, you may stop the medicine and contact your physician to report adverse responses for appropriate formula adjustments

Acupuncture is a collective term for needling methods and moxibustion. During an acupuncture treatment, needles are used to stimulate specific acupoints to achieve therapeutic effects.
Acupuncture is a well known practice in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It involves inserting fine, thin needles into specific points on the body to balance energy flow and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Our physicians in use various techniques to gently stimulate these points, which helps activate nerve pathways and encourage the release of the body’s natural pain-relieving chemicals. Acupuncture treatment not only alleviates discomfort associated with conditions like chronic pain and stress but also promotes overall well-being by improving blood circulation and regulating the nervous system. Many individuals appreciate acupuncture treatment in Singapore for its holistic approach that addresses both symptoms and underlying imbalances, ultimately supporting a healthier, more balanced lifestyle.

Rather than merely masking symptoms, the approach encourages the body to restore its natural balance. Each session is tailored to the individual, offering a non-pharmaceutical, minimally invasive option to support overall wellness and improve daily comfort.
At its core, acupuncture is based on the belief that a vital life force must flow smoothly throughout the body for optimal health.

At Ma Kuang, we provide good acupuncture services in Singapore. We use sterile, single-use, disposable acupuncture needles during the acupuncture treatment. You may experience slight discomfort upon insertion when the needle pierces through the skin; however, most people find it very tolerable. As the needle reaches acupoint, you may notice achiness, tingling, fullness, and heaviness, which are referred to as “needling sensations”. The duration of the acupuncture treatment varies greatly from person to person. It can last anywhere from a few seconds to a day, and still be considered normal.

This in-depth assessment allows us to craft a personalized treatment plan. Whether you’ve been searching for acupuncture near me or need expert guidance in acupuncture, our consultation sets the stage for a successful therapy.
Following the initial assessment, we use traditional Chinese diagnostic methods—such as pulse and tongue examinations—to identify energy imbalances in your body. This careful evaluation ensures that every acupuncture treatment is customized for optimal healing. With clear insights into your condition, our practitioners design a strategy that targets your specific issues.
Before treatment begins, you’re invited to relax in a serene, hygienic environment. Our practitioner will explain the procedure, address any concerns, and ensure you feel at ease. Using sterile, ultra-fine needles, the practitioner precisely inserts them into designated acupoints. While some patients experience a slight tingling, most find the process soothing and virtually pain-free.
Depending on your condition, the needles may be gently stimulated manually or with a light electrical current (electro-acupuncture). This phase typically lasts between 20 to 40 minutes, allowing the therapy to activate your body’s natural healing mechanisms effectively.
Once the needles are removed, you’ll have a short recovery period to rest and rehydrate. Our practitioner will share aftercare tips and might recommend lifestyle adjustments to support your healing. Follow-up sessions are scheduled as needed to monitor progress and fine-tune your treatment plan.
