Herbal Paste

Gong Fang Tang Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese herbal paste therapy offers effects such as nourishment, regulation, strengthening the body's defenses, and eliminating pathogens, making it effective in treating various diseases. For subhealth issues caused by Singapore's fast-paced lifestyle—such as "chronic fatigue," "metabolic disorders," and "weakened immunity"—slow and steady supplementation with herbal paste can achieve the enduring health state advocated in the Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica: "nurturing life in harmony with nature and balancing yin and yang."

Gong Fang Tang Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic brings together a team of experienced TCM practitioners dedicated to providing authentic herbal paste therapy services for Singaporeans. As the essence of TCM's "preventive treatment," herbal paste therapy involves nine meticulous steps—including soaking, decocting, concentrating, and refining—to create an easily absorbed paste. Through long-term regulation, holistic organ nourishment, and addressing both symptoms and root causes, it resolves modern-day constitutional challenges like "deficiency unable to tolerate tonification" and "chronic illnesses difficult to cure."
