About tcm365

tcm365 helps people in Singapore find a Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic that actually fits what they need: whether that's a short questionnaire that matches you by condition, specialty, and budget, or simply browsing and comparing clinics directly. Recommendations are based on fit, not on what a clinic pays (see our pricing page for how that works).

Clinics can claim their own listing, keep their details up to date, and respond to appointment requests directly through tcm365.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system of medicine with roots going back thousands of years, built around the idea of treating the body as an interconnected whole rather than isolated symptoms. Core concepts include Qi (a concept of vital energy flowing through the body), meridians (pathways Qi is thought to travel along), and yin-yang balance: the idea that health depends on balance between complementary forces in the body.

In practice, TCM covers several distinct treatment modalities, most commonly:

• Acupuncture: fine needles inserted at specific points on the body
• Herbal medicine: formulas of plant, mineral, or animal-derived ingredients, often customised per patient
• Tui Na: a hands-on therapeutic massage
• Cupping: suction cups placed on the skin, often used for muscle tension
• Moxibustion: burning a herb (mugwort) near the skin to apply gentle heat
• Gua Sha: scraping the skin with a smooth tool to relieve tension

In Singapore, TCM is practised alongside conventional (Western) medicine rather than as a replacement for it, and many people use both. Want a fuller walkthrough of what a visit actually looks like? Read our first-visit guide.
