Reviews 1  Chronic Eczema 

I still remember that day was the worst eczema outbreak in my life that I first came to visit Dr Ong Swee Ling in Yong Kang TCM. My legs, hands and body were flared up with weeping eczema, even infectious with a swollen leg. 

I used to have eczema in late 20s, but after 4 years of seeing western practitioner and skin specialist, from normal cream to highest dosage of steroid medicine till one day the doctor told me to stop steroid medication for the side effects, though I still not cure with eczema, yet they have informed it cannot be cured. That’s where I realised their limitations.

Since then, I have stopped western practitioner and try TCM, yet I still cannot get rid of eczema. It became part of my life, and I can only desperately look for cure when it started to get serious. Till recently, I was told by friend to try this TCM who is specialised in treating eczema, and she did set my misery away.

Throughout the treatment, I was prescribed with her herbs, cream and moisturiser, also acupuncture and cupping. The progress took me about 2 months to heal almost 90%.  Based on my past experience, I was very satisfied with this progress, and it brought me hope and confidence in managing my eczema.

I would like to thank Dr Ong Swee Ling and her colleagues for taking good care of me during my treatment in Yong Kang TCM. How I wish I know you earlier, and so I hope to share this story to other eczema patient because I understand how helpless it was and same you are not fighting it alone.

Review 2:   Re: Atopic Dermatitis, Skin Disease

I started having bad flare up on my neck and leg areas in mid 2015. I used to rely on topical steroids to ease the flare ups. However, the flare up reduced and my skin become thinner and dry after each application. Flare ups became worst when i stopped using the creams.

The flare ups started to spread to different parts of my body including my face and head. It was so bad that i developed Alopecia, a condition where your body losses hair. It affects several parts of my head and my eyebrows was completely gone. I was very down and didn't know where and who to seek help until my friends recommended me to try alternative medicine.

I consulted Dr Ong in Jan 2016. I was prescribed 2 sets or medication to be consume morning and night and weekly acupuncture. She also gave me a few creams. I was also advised to change my diet and avoided consuming in the list she provided. She also shared ways to manage a flare up.

The first few months was very hard for me, especially on the dieting part as i cannot eat what my family eat as Indian dishes has a lot of spices which is in one of the food in the list. I also avoided going out for a meal with my family and avoided attending weddings.

After about more than half a year, my condition got better but there was still some flare ups once awhile. My skin became less dry and I lost weight. I was able to resume my normal lifestyle.

My advised for someone who is unsure about TCM is to be open to trying out. The key to good recovery is to be patience (it takes time and effect of medication is slow but very effective after a few weeks) and proper management.

Review 3   Re: Eczema, Atopic Dermatitis

I had eczema since young and my health is not very good.  I had asthma and sinusitis when I was young.

I had seen GP and dermatologist for my eczema.  Before seeing Dr. Ong Swee Ling and physician Wu Muzhen.  I had seen 4 other Chinese physicians. But my eczema did not recover.

When I first visited Yong Kang Medical Hall, my eczema condition was really bad. I was feeling very cold and had to wear thick jacket even in the day time. My hands shivered (顫抖) if I stretched out my hands.  I usually felt very tired. At night I felt super itchy. The skin of my fingers were so thin and it was always oozing. I was really dishearten as I thought no one on this earth can treat me.

I need to turn up for my school work every day as I was studying in polytechnic. After a few visits to Yong Kang Medical Hall, I began to see some improvement and I did not feel so cold and was less tired. My eczema was slowing getting better.  Therefore I began to have some confidence in their treatment.  Slowly, my dry skin and redness was lessen but my fingers were still fragile and oozing….not sure bec I was using too much steroid cream before.

After six months of continuous treatment, my skin has recovered.  I do not feel cold and my skin is not dry.

I feel that one must have patience and not to give out on TCM treatment.

Review 4   Re: Hair Loss

I had hair loss after I gave birth to my second child.  Slowly, the hair loss recovery.  However, after 5 years, my hair seemed to get thinner and thinner.  I have visited other places to treat my hair loss. It improved for a while but after sometimes, whenever I washed my hair, I could see some hair dropping off.

Upon recommendation, I found Yong Kang Medical Hall TCM clinic at Telok Blangah.  I had 10 sessions of treatments and I would see the results were much better than other places.  They said that hair loss is also related to stress, lack of sleep, anxiety and menstruation problems. 

I highly recommend Yong Kang Medical Hall Pte Ltd at Telok Blangah.

Review 5   Re: Psoriasis

My mother is a Chinese and my father is a german.  I never believe in TCM medicine and I never go for Traditional Chinese Medicine.  However, my mother brought me to see Dr. ong Swee Ling of Yong Kang Medical Hall.  I was very reluctant to go but my mother insisted that i mush go.  

I had seem dermatologists for sometimes and my psoriasis did not get better. So, I decided to try out TCM.  I was very doubtful on TCM and did not like the acupuncture treatment too.  

Each time my mother accompanied there for fear that I would not go myself. After some time, I saw my psoriasis getting smaller and less scaly, I faithfully go for the treatment. I am happy to say that my psoriasis is gone.

Review 6  Re: Shingles 带状疱疹 

I brought many mother to Yong Kang Medical Hall to see Dr. Ong Swee Ling for her shingles.  My  mother was 80 years old and had shingles herpes zoster on her private parts. Although her shingles herpes zoster appeared cured externally, she had pain every night. She said the pain was so bad that she could not wear her panties. When the thighs rubbed against one another, she would have pain and discomfort. So, she didn't want to wear panties!

I was told by Dr. Ong Swee Ling that my mother had postherpetic neuralgia. she said this kind of posterpetic neuralgia usually happens to older folks and it is always after shingles had subsided. She was given 7-8 sessions of acupuncture treatment. Her discomfort and pain slowly went off.
I would strongly recommend Yong Kang Medical Hall Pte Ltd at Telok Blangah for Shingles treatment!

Review 7   Re: Obesity, slimming

I was obese since young.  I often jog and exercise.  Sometimes, i fast for half a day.  I tried to eat a lot of vegetables and avoided carbohydrates such as potatoes, bread, maize, noddles and rice.  (although I love noddles since young).

I am in my 30+, so I decided to go for slimming programme in Yong Kang Medical Hall at Telok Blangah.  The physicians are very friendly and asked me to avoid supper and try to job under the sun until I perspire.

I had acupuncture and cupping sessions every time i went there.  After three months, I lost 15 kg.
I also realize that I am healthier and have less flu and cough.

I would like to recommend Yong Kang Medical Hall at Telok Blangah.

Testimonial 1   Re: Atopic Dermatitis, Eczema

I had eczema for almost 25 years and have seen western doctors and dermatologists off and on for the last 25 years.

I was actually very disheartened because my eczema seemed to get worse over the years. My eczema started from my hands and legs,  slowly it spread to my body and soles.  My soles were dry and cracked. I had to tip-toe or walked on my heel as my soles were very painful when I walked.  Now it even spread to my face. As I was in sales and need to meet customers every day. When it got worse, I cried. I was desperately looking for recovery recovery.  Fortunately, my friend introduced me to Dr. Ong Swee Ling of Yong Kang Medical Hall Pte Ltd.  I was treated by her and her colleague TCM physician Wu Muzhen and Yan Yanhua.  They were diligently attended to me, treated me with acupuncture, medicine and herbal creams. They told me that the clinic do not prescribed steroid and the creams also do not have steroid content.

I faithfully went for treatment for every week. After one month, I could feel that the heat in my body was lessen, the redness on my face disappeared and my eczema was getting better. I noticed that the  lesions on my fingers which was oozing on and off had stopped and began to from scabs.

I had full faith and confidence in their treatment and continued to go there for treatment as I wanted total recovery from my stubborn eczema.  The TCM physicians told me that they must treat eczema sufferers internally and externally in order for them to get well and be rid of eczema in the future.

I now recovered from eczema and feel less tired, less dry and more energetic.  I also can concentrate on my desk work better.

Thanks to TCM physician Dr. Ong Swee Ling,  Wu Muzhen, Yan Yanhua for their thoroughness, earnestness in attending to me.  I am grateful to them as I think it is really miracle that I could get well in three months with such a serious skin disease.

Here I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude to TCM physician Dr. Ong Swee Ling and Wu Muzhen for the recovery of my long term eczema problem.

Testimonial 2   Re:Wilson Disease

I started treatment at Yong Kang Medical Hall in April 2017. I was never a believer of Chinese medicine but a hurting and swollen knee that lasted for more than a year brought me here. 

Initially I was skeptical about how effective it would be but to my joy and happiness the pain subsided almost completely after a month. 

Now apart from the inflamed knee I also suffer from Wilson's Disease. In a nutshell my body is unable to get rid of copper and for 26 years this copper was slowly accumulating in my brain. This then affected my mobility. Slowly, I  my muscles were very stiff and I needed help from my parents to hold me when I walked.

So having seen the success of the healed inflamed knee I agreed to let myself get treated here. After 5 months of treatment, my neurologist could see a vast improvement in my muscles.

The physicians at Yong Kang Medical Hall also asked me to abstain from cold drinks! At first I was really reluctant but I've not had an icy drink since May 2017. My acupuncture sessions helped/improved my mobility and the tuina (拨筋j疗法）were a lot more tolerable once I cut off cold drinks. 

So overall I find myself in a much better state than 13 months ago! Thanks to the love, care and treatment by the physicians at Yong Kang Medical Hall.

Testimonial 3    Re:Atopic dermatitis,   Eczema 

I had eczema since I was a kid and I had it for the last 30 years. My parents brought me to see western general practitioner and they prescribed steroid cream for me. After a few years, my eczema got worse and I had it all over my body, hands, fingers, legs and thighs.  My skin was very dry and flaky.  My mother had to sweep the floor every day and told me that she could gather as much as half a bowl of dry flakes.

My mother was very concerned, she brought me to see a TCM physicians. My eczema did not get well in fact it flared up after taking Chinese medicine. They told my mother that the medicine was to clear the toxin and the flare-up was expected. My eczema did not get well at all. It still came on and off for about four months.  So, we tried another two TCM Physicians and yet my eczema and the redness did not subside. I felt very itchy at night and could not sleep at night due to the intense  itchiness.

I was introduced by a colleague whose eczema was healed after seeing Dr. Ong Swee Ling of Yong Kang Medical Hall Pte Ltd.  I was actually quite unwilling to try one more Chinese physician as my eczema did not get well at all.  However, my itchiness was very intense so I ultimately gave this TCM clinic a try.

To my surprise, I had a very good impression of the way and attitudes the TCM physicians shown me. They were very confident that they could heal eczema. They consoled us and told us that we must have patience and shared with us that they have treated many eczema, psoriasis, hives patients over 20 years and these groups of patients had recovered from their skin problem.

They assured us that their clinic do not prescribe steroid and all their creams are herbal base.  Somehow after seeing them, I had confidence that they could heal my eczema. So I continued to go for their treatment and could see the skin improvement gradually.  During the treatment, they continued to give me encouragement and assured me that I could get well.

Eventually, after about two to three months, I was able to be rid of eczema.  However, my eczema marks were still there.  They prescribed a kind of cream to reduce the pigmentation of my eczema marks.

I wish to recommend those who have eczema to give this clinic and their TCM physicians a try.

I also with to thank the TCM physicians in this clinic for helping me to be rid of my stubborn eczema.

Testimonial 4    Re: Hives, Urticaria 

I had hives for 9 months and have seen dermatologist since. I also did a blood test and allergy test. I was prescribed antihistamine “balastine”.  After some time, antihistamine did not work for me.  My dermatologist told me that there was a new drug called “Xolair” which was introduced to Singapore in Feb 2017.  The drug was very expansive which cost $1000 per injection.  As I was covered by insurance, so I had the injection. However, after one month the hives slowly came back and became worse. 

In total, I had 4 injections.  Each time after the injection, amazingly my hives totally disappeared. But after 4 weeks it slowly came back worse than before.  So I decided to seek TCM treatment.  I was asked to have acupuncture treatment every week and was given herbal medicine to take.   

My hives was very itchy and it came almost every day. It really disturbed me a lot and I could not sleep well at night. I was desperate, so I faithfully consumed the herbal medicine.  Gradually, I found that the occurrence of hives was less frequent and less severe. I really wanted to get rid of my hives, so I faithfully went to Yong Kang Medical Hall to have my acupuncture sessions.  Now, my hives are gone and it did not come back for about three months already.

Testimonial 5    Re: Infertility

My husband was treated for psoriasis in Yong Kang Medical Hall at Telok Blangah.  His psoriasis has gotten better. 

My husband and I were married for about 7 years and I could not conceived since. So after my husband recovered from psoriasis, I requested to be treated.  I had confidence in Dr. Ong Swee Ling for her competency.  I faithfully took her Chinese medicine for three months.  I had my first child in 2012 and my second child in 2014. 

I highly recommend this clinic. They listen to your problems and are attentive.

Testimonial 6   Cancer

A patient had 5 types of cancer (Colon, Liver, Bladder, Lung and Thyroid cancer).  He had undergone 7 times of operations.  Today, he is still surviving.  He is a very optimistic person.  The followings are his advice for other cancer patients: 

I, Mr.Ong, had colon cancer, liver cancer and bladder cancer in 1999. I had surgery to remove the tumour, underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Until 2002, I had a relapse of liver cancer. I again went for surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In 2004, I discovered I had lung cancer, I went for surgery. From 2004 till 2010, I was well. In 2010, I had thyroid cancer, I underwent surgery again. Altogether, I had seven operations. This year is 2011, I survive 12 years. During these years I took Chinese medicine such as jingsheng, codycep. Till now my health is still good. I can sleep, can eat and can pass motion (except for small illnesses such as flu).

I feel that “Disease not scared of human, human scared of disease” “病不怕人,是人怕病“.One must not hesitant and get treatment early. Cancer is not a terminal disease. So, don’t be discouraged. Our future is bright, One must maintain good spirit, most importantly, must be happy and laugh as much as possible, this will be good for the recovery.

我,王先生,于1999 年被诊断患上大肠癌,肝癌和膀胱癌,后经西医进行手术割除恶瘤,电疗与化疗,于2002年肝癌复发,再度手术化疗与电疗。于2004年发现肺癌,又再手术割除。从2004年到2010年平安无事。到了2010年发现甲状癌, 也手术除小肿瘤，前后手术7次,今年是2011年,我已度过12年关。其间我有吃中药,泡参,冬虫夏草。至今,我身体还算健康,吃得下,睡得着,拉得出,一切还好（除了一些小病，伤风感冒外）。

我认为“病不怕人,是人怕病“。必须尽早治疗,当机必须尽早治疗,当机立断,不可拖延时间,以免耽误病情.我相信,癌症不是绝症。 我劝请癌症患者别气馁,前景是光明的。最要紧是保持心情愉快,多开心多玩笑，

多欢乐多大笑,对病情会有改善。王先生。

Testimonial 7    Asthma and sinusitis

My son was suffering from asthma and sinusitis, he often had cough and asthma attacks. We brought him to see Dr. Ong Swee Ling and Physician Wu Muzhen. He has since gotten better and seldom has asthma attacks. They also recommend Child Therapeutic massage for my son.  I think it helps to strengthen his lung.

We highly recommend Yong Kang Medical Hall TCM clinic at Telok Blangah St. 32. The physicians are attentive to my questions and the staff there are courteous. Their herbs are effective. I would like to express my gratitude to the clinic and its team.

Testimonial 8  Re: Cough and Phlegm

I have visited Yong Kang Medical Hall TCM clinic for years. My kids are willing to take their cough syrup. Their  syrups were effective in reducing the cough and phlegm. We always try to go to the clinic during weekdays where the waiting time is not too long.

Their staff are polite and the physicians are attentive and provided excellent advice. I highly recommend them!
