Best place in Singapore to buy Chinese herbs ?
- Thread starter Bonut
- Start date
still ard in wet maarket areas esp the older ones.......worst go to Yue Hua as they hv strong buyers in Hk
Yeah man, must try Yue Hua. They don't look traditional. Look more like China supermarket.
I thought EYS and Hock Hua opened many outlets?
Used to see a lot at Katong Shopping Centre, Roxy, etc... now not many left.
I am looking for 片仔癀，an amazingly expensive capsule. I checked with Yue Hwa, they are selling it at a price higher than most neighbourhood medical halls. As for EYS, I think they are the most expensive.
If it's a supplement taken in small doses then paying a bit more shouldn't hurt.
I know EYS enforces very strict quality standards. There's another chain called ZTP (or something) which also imports and packages herbs. Can check them out.

I think it’s only $60 each so you can get anywhere and they will cut into 8 portions and put in capsules for you anyway you should not eat too much
i typically go to eys as it’s clean, orderly, staffed with well trained salespersons, and they don’t push me banned and adulterated tiger penis, rhino horn, and elephant tusk products to jack up their sales.

Nothing but a big con job. None of those snake oil potions work.

Which shop selling the capsule at $60?
The one that I am referring to comes in standard packing, 10 capsules in separate packing @ $90 per capsule or $900 per box. That Yue Hwa selling at $100 + per capsule.

Chop Wong Yew Nam located at Chinatown, Singapore. The best and most reliable in Singapore and South East Asia. My family's only Chinese medicine / herbal supplier since three generations ago.
To beat them, you will have to go to Cholon (Saigon, Vietnam) or Hong Kong, China.
What does it do and what is the mechanism by which it interacts with the human body to produce benefical outcomes?
The work is monumental but there are some head ways.
Ginseng and its active compounds are being researched upon for the last decade now.

TCM had been researched upon for cancer research.

It was a long time ago I bought for $60 at Tanglin Halt chinese medicine shop. Mine comes in a box like this and its only 1 brown pill not capsule which they ground it and put into 8 capsules (not full).

What does it do for you?
Wasn't for me. My maid went for operation so my older folks in the family said this is good for her after surgery so I bought 2 for her help her recovery. I really no idea.
片仔癀
Key ingredients include calculus bovis (ox bezoars/gallstones), musk, ginseng and snake gall. Prized for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic and vasodilatory (increases tissue blood flow) effects.
Many Western pharmaceuticals in use today are derived from Chinese herbs, e.g.
Ephedrine – from ma huang (ephedra sinica), used in the ICU and OT to increase BP in shock
Lovastatin – from hong qu mi (red yeast rice), first statin to be used in Western medicine to combat high cholesterol
Artemisin – from qing hao su, used as an anti-malarial
Ginkgo biloba extract – from yin xing ye, used to treat circulatory problems and tinnitus
What many here fail to understand is that both ancient Chinese medical research and the modern Western 'scientific method' are empirical, i.e. practices adopted based on verifiable and repeatable observations in experiments. The only difference is that the West introduced statistics to weed out the element of chance in observations, thus determining the non-random significance of a particular finding.
