Real people, real recoveries

Eczema / atopic dermatitis

“I had eczema for almost 25 years and had seen western doctors and dermatologists off and on. They treated me with acupuncture, medicine and herbal creams — no steroids. After one month the redness on my face disappeared and my eczema was getting better. I recovered in three months from such a serious skin disease.”

Eczema (30 years)

“I'd had eczema for 30 years, all over my body. I was unwilling to try one more Chinese physician, but my itchiness was so intense I gave this clinic a try. They were confident and kind, and assured us they use no steroids. After two to three months I was rid of my stubborn eczema.”

— Irene Wong

Severe eczema (15 years)

“The day I first visited Dr. Ong was my worst eczema outbreak — my legs, hands and body were flared up with weeping eczema, even infected with a swollen leg. Western doctors had told me it couldn't be cured. Throughout my treatment here I was prescribed herbs, cream and moisturiser, plus acupuncture and cupping. It took about two months to heal almost 90%. It brought me hope and confidence again.”

Psoriasis

A man had severe psoriasis for five years — he felt cold, tired and itchy, could not sleep, and his body was covered in lesions and flakes. He came to us determined to get well, on a friend's recommendation. His skin cleared over the course of treatment, and he chose to share his photos (above) so others would know psoriasis can recover.

Acne & pimples

A 27-year-old professional singer came to us with acne he could not afford in his line of work. With Chinese herbal medicine in powder form, his skin improved within a month and cleared over about three months — with only the occasional spot when he had too much alcohol or peanuts.

Hair loss / alopecia

A 45-year-old woman came in very worried, with coin-sized bald patches and clumps of hair falling out when she washed it. With scalp acupuncture, herbal hair lotion and nourishing herbal medicine, her hair stopped dropping within a month and returned to normal after about three months.

Hives / urticaria

“I had hives for 9 months and tried antihistamines and a $1,000-per-injection drug, but they kept coming back worse. With weekly acupuncture and herbal medicine here, the hives became less frequent and less severe. Now they are gone.”

Infertility

“My husband and I were married about 7 years and I could not conceive. After my husband recovered from psoriasis here, I asked to be treated too. I had confidence in Dr. Ong Swee Ling and faithfully took her Chinese medicine for three months. I had my first child in 2012 and my second in 2014.”

Knee pain & mobility (Wilson's disease)

“A hurting, swollen knee that lasted over a year brought me here, though I was never a believer in Chinese medicine. The pain subsided almost completely after a month. After five months of treatment, my neurologist could see a vast improvement in my muscles. I'm in a much better state than I was.”

— Linda Wong

Shingles

“My mother suffered excruciating pain from shingles, especially at night. Physician Wu was very kind — she attended to her and did acupuncture. My mother got well after 6 sessions. They have a good team who are all good at treating shingles.”

Childhood asthma & sinusitis

“My son suffered from asthma and sinusitis, with frequent coughs and attacks. Since seeing Dr. Ong Swee Ling and Physician Wu Muzhen, he has gotten better and seldom has attacks. They also recommended child therapeutic massage, which I think helps strengthen his lungs.”

Cancer — living well

“I had colon, liver, bladder, lung and thyroid cancer across the years and seven operations. Alongside my treatment I took Chinese medicine, and my health has stayed good — I can eat, sleep and stay active. Cancer is not a terminal sentence. Stay positive, seek treatment early, and laugh as much as you can.”

— Mr. Ong
