TCM in Singapore is TCMPB-regulated — the TCM Practitioners Board (under MOH) registers practitioners, and all practising TCM physicians must be registered. Acupuncture needle reuse is a hepatitis transmission risk; single-use sterile needles opened in front of patients is the quality signal. TCM has evidence-based value for chronic pain, menstrual issues, stroke rehabilitation — it should complement, not replace, medical treatment for acute conditions.

Singapore TCM herbs are regulated under HSA's Chinese Proprietary Medicine (CPM) framework. Legitimate clinics source from registered suppliers with documented origin. Ask for printed formula documentation — herbs from unverified mainland suppliers can contain heavy metals or undeclared pharmaceuticals. Reputable practitioners provide full formula breakdowns.
Yes — needle reuse is a hepatitis B/C transmission risk and violates professional standards. Single-use sterile needles opened in front of the patient is the standard. Clinics using pre-opened needles or unclear on sterility protocols are cutting safety corners. Watch needle handling during your first visit.
TCM has evidence-based value for some conditions (chronic pain, menstrual issues, some digestive complaints, stroke rehabilitation). It should not replace medical treatment for acute cardiac, cancer, diabetes management, or infection. Quality practitioners refer patients to Western medicine when appropriate — those pushing TCM as cancer or diabetes cure are dangerous.
