I learned that fewer young people in Singapore use TCM than their parents and grandparents, but many still keep it around because it’s an important part of their culture and family traditions.
Lastly, please don’t try making herbal remedies at home. Herbs can be strong, and some can make people sick or cause problems when mixed with other medicines. Scientists are still studying many of these herbs, and there isn’t strong proof yet that they work the way TCM says they do. Always ask a grown-up and a doctor first!
