hi I'm Mei e I am generation at high shine Medical Hall I'm here with my brother from lush my system is homeless machine I other generation handling the day-to-day operations at the company Taisha Medical Hall was started by our paternal grandfather in 1955 it's a heritage brand in Singapore now the name hi Shan is actually quite significant it is the name of one of the five most famous mountains in China – my grandfather that time it signified a very good foundation for him he hoped for it to be a new beginning for himself many people tell me traditional Chinese medicine is very inaccessible many people tell me as well that they are not educated enough about traditional Chinese medicine to have the confidence to try it out even so I hope that today I will be able to share more with you and provide an introduction guide to traditional Chinese medicine this is a chest of drawers that is an antique the most traditional part of a medical Hall it's more than 100 years old and we house more than 600 overall hooks in here this is Hawthorn it's very commonly used as part of prescriptions because it's excellent for helping with digestion this is not really medicine it's a fruit that's why there are a lot of teas that also use this this is a knee-jerk orange peel it's completely different from if you eat orange at home and we peel out and we dry them these are actually very old so everything is very interesting because it's very nice and citrusy by the same time there's a very nice mellow taste and its purpose is actually to lychee meaning that it actually strengthens and give Chi to your lungs for people who have been coughing for a very long time it does strengthen the lungs and help the lungs to not feel so tired this is the preparation area within our medical hall where we have a lot of equipment that we use all the time every day over here we have the slicers for example ginseng we have to be sliced in order for customers who have it as a tea these are very very important as part of a traditional medical haul these are toasters we have to certain types of hops in order for them to be solved before they can actually be sliced and we have our grinders as well because we will grind some of the tall needs and hops into fine powder for customers we have many more times and pesto's there are certain curves that have to be broken into small pieces who have largest of this area or there can be certain types of hooks which have very high aromatic oil content and we will actually crush them before we put them into prescriptions or before we put them into different kinds of products this is the under traditional part of our medical haul where we have a lot of herbs and Tony which are available for customers to choose you will see lots of ginseng but snares cloudy set and when I say traditional I mean that the things over here need to be prepared in some way this is real in June there are many different kinds of the entry with different colors and ranges the one that actually has the medical properties this is part of the mushroom family is a type of fungus they are in this traditional part of our medical haul because they need to be sliced before they can be used this is the way they are after they have been sliced lingsha is used for boosting immunity strengthening the body and enhancing metabolism this is one of the most commonly used herbs in my opinion and we highly recommend it for people who are tired customers can buy them to use them as part of tea or soup in our medical haul we have a category of dry seafood traditionally people will come and buy and use it in feasting like three Chinese New Year or daily use so we have sea cucumber these are from Australia they were I spend about five to six times these are fish more which are gaining in popularity because now customers do not want to take any shocks field we also stop the leash actually about ten years ago these are Japanese scallop which makes soup really tasty this is the modern section of the medical home model section meaning that they are actually time-tested formulations which are manufactured into modern dosage forms like teas pills tablets and capsules these are herbal supplements manufactured in Singapore pill form this is a supplement for ladies to improve metabolism and that circulation this is a version for men to nourish the kidneys because in traditional Chinese medicine the kidneys the most important organ for men what's available here are teas which taste good and are very healthy we recommend this to customers who say that they don't cook there's a combination of different kinds of herbs and also flower teas and together they will suffer certain function like for example this is to enhance vision and to make the eyes less tired Singapore has a special reputation for topical medical months like oils balms and patches this is a very very special category of products for us at high shine because my grandfather actually made the effort to combine a lot of local ingredients into the formulations we have a nutmeg oil nutmeg plantations newspaper rampant in Singapore and this nut oil is actually to help relieve flatulence in the stomach this is an oil called a long green grass oil to help stop bleeding and they Supply on cuts and wounds the way that we have formulated it over the years is that we've added aloe vera so aloe vera will make it less painful especially when children want to use it a lot of progress has already been made to make all these herbal remedies available in very easily accessible convenient forms over here at high shine we really try very hard to educate education is a very big part of helping customers adopt traditional Chinese medicine I hope that after watching this video everyone will give an opportunity through traditional Chinese medicine I do hold a lot of sentimental feelings towards this entire tree and our business and I remember the hopes and aspirations that my grandfather shared with me something that I really hope will be able to see a revival especially with the young don't give up on something that is part of our culture having been around for so long [Music] you you
