kids have been going since they were 1 year old

I’ve been with EMW for the past 4 years and I feel truly blessed to have found them. Thank you Physician Edmund and team! They were a huge pillar to my TTC journey and I am now blessed with 2 daughters. Physician Edmund was very insightful and encouraging throughout. The EMW team was always there to answer any queries I have and they always do their best to pen me in for last minute acupuncture sessions given the unexpected schedule of my IUI procedure. I also recently tried out their personalized confinement herbs and I am still raving about it. Back in 2021 I’d gotten prepackaged 28-days herbs from another company so I am able to compare and see the difference- more energy, better digestion, etc. Truly recommend EMW to anyone who is looking for TCM support while TTC and even after!

I’ve been with EMW since the end of last year, under the care of Physician Ee Wen, Physician Edmund and team. I started weekly acupuncture sessions to regulate my body in preparation for trying to conceive. Along the way, both physicians provided not only treatments but also advice and reassurance. They patiently explained each step of the process to both my husband and me, helping us understand what to expect and making the journey feel a lot less overwhelming. In addition to acupuncture, we also went through other assisted reproductive procedures. With the combined care and expertise of the EMW team, we were overjoyed to find out we were pregnant in August. Throughout the process, from trying to conceive to the early stages of pregnancy, everyone at EMW took such great care of me. From the front desk staff to the care assistants, and physicians, every member of the team made us feel supported, respected, and genuinely cared for.

Came to EMW to see Physician Hui Chin as I have been dealing with sleep and stress issues. She was very knowledgeable and administered acupuncture treatments and i always felt better after. The acupuncture also felt better and much more painless than some of the other places i’d been to before. Good experience

I have been with EMW (physician Ee Wen) for close to two years as part of my fertility journey, and I am incredibly grateful for the care and support I received throughout this period. Trying to conceive can be physically and emotionally challenging, and there were many ups and downs along the way. The physicians and team at EMW were always patient, professional, and encouraging. They took the time to understand my condition, explained the treatment plans clearly, and adjusted them according to my progress. What stood out most was the genuine care shown at every visit. Beyond the treatments themselves, I always felt listened to and supported during some of the most difficult moments of my journey. After years of trying and multiple fertility treatments, I am thankful to share that I am now expecting. While everyone’s journey is unique, I truly believe that the TCM treatments, together with the guidance and support from the EMW team, played an important role in helping me get here. Thank you to everyone at EMW for walking alongside me through this journey. I would highly recommend EMW to anyone looking for a dedicated and compassionate TCM team, especially those on their fertility journey!

This is where Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) can help through acupuncture, Chinese herbs, nutrition and lifestyle support.

Women’s Hormonal & Menstrual Care
TCM has long recognised that health and vitality can be sustained over a woman’s lifetime by restoring balance within the body and supporting the natural production of essential hormones.
Endocrine Health
In EMW TCM, we strive to improve the body’s regulatory mechanisms and eliminate factors that impair the body’s self-healing ability. At your first visit, our physicians will make a clear diagnosis of your body constitution to decide on an individualised treatment plan. Treatment options usually include electro-acupuncture (EA), herbal medicine, supplemented by auricular ear seed acupuncture, massage, etc.
Endometriosis
Usually endometriosis patients are diagnosed only when they haven’t been able to conceive after a year or so. And not all patients present with severe menstrual pain as mentioned in our medical definition. Body constitution has to be diagnosed first before deciding on the TCM treatment plan on endometriosis. Usually Chinese herbal medications, acupuncture and moxibustion have to be incorporated in the treatment plan.
PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex condition characterized by elevated androgen levels, menstrual irregularities, and/or small cysts on one or both ovaries. Alternative medicine such as Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) have been shown to be effective in treating women with PCOS to successful conception.
Recurrent Miscarriage
Other than post-miscarriage, Chinese Medicine is also actively used as a treatment for missed, incomplete, and complete miscarriages, which helps to improve the blood circulation so as to stimulate uterine contractions and empty the uterus.Other than post-miscarriage, Chinese Medicine is also actively used as a treatment for missed, incomplete, and complete miscarriages, which helps to improve the blood circulation so as to stimulate uterine contractions and empty the uterus.
Thyroid Disorders
In TCM, we use either herbal medication, acupuncture, moxibustion, or tuina, or the combination of all, to help thyroid patients manage and cope with emotional stress or other psychological factors that can cause or worsen their condition.
TCM Gut Health & Digestion Treatment
Your gut plays a vital role in nutrient absorption, immune strength, and emotional stability, and when it’s imbalanced, symptoms like bloating, reflux, or fatigue often appear. TCM for gut health focuses on understanding these imbalances holistically, addressing both root causes and symptoms.
Acid Reflux
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder in which gastric juices or food contents in the stomach reflux back up through the loosening of the lower sphincter muscle into the oesophagus and TCM has been shown to be effective in treating acid reflux or GERD.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Having an acupuncture session allows IBS patient to relax and calm down spastic colon, alleviate abdomen pain and defecation frequency and appearance and customed Chinese herbal medicine is targeted to boost Spleen energy and remove fluid retention.

Pediatric TCM (Cough, Digestion, Immunity)
Pediatric Tuina is a natural and non-invasive massage therapy specifically designed for young infants and children, between the age of 3 months old to 6 years old. It involves gentle stimulation of acupoints along the meridians on their delicate skin through rhythmic kneading, rubbing, and tapping to improve energy circulation, relieve discomfort and enhance overall wellness in your child (a safe option with minimal side effects).

Read MoreFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How does TCM fertility treatment help couples trying to conceive?
TCM fertility treatment improves conception by regulating the menstrual cycle, enhancing egg quality, supporting ovulation, improving sperm motility, and strengthening the womb for implantation. At EMW TCM, we combine acupuncture, herbal therapy, moxibustion, and diet support to address root causes that affect fertility.
2. When should I start TCM before trying to conceive or starting IVF?
Most couples benefit from starting TCM fertility treatments 2–3 months before trying naturally or beginning an IVF cycle. This gives enough time to regulate hormones, boost egg and sperm health, improve uterine lining, and stabilise digestion and stress.
3. Can TCM improve egg quality and ovarian response?
Yes. TCM fertility acupuncture and targeted herbal medicine support blood flow to the ovaries, regulate hormones, balance the liver–kidney systems, and reduce inflammation. These help improve follicular growth, egg quality, and overall ovarian response.
4. Does TCM help male fertility as well?
Absolutely. TCM fertility treatment supports sperm health by improving motility, morphology, count, and overall vitality. Herbs and acupuncture can help regulate stress, improve circulation, and address underlying issues such as inflammation, heat, or kidney deficiency.
5. How does fertility acupuncture work?
Fertility acupuncture stimulates blood circulation to the ovaries and uterus, regulates hormones, reduces stress hormones like cortisol, and improves sleep, all of which significantly impact natural fertility and IVF outcomes. It also helps stabilise luteal phase defects and menstrual irregularities.
6. Is TCM fertility treatment safe during IVF cycles?
Yes. TCM is commonly used together with IVF to improve egg retrieval, support implantation, and reduce side effects from stimulation medications. The EMW fertility protocol is designed specifically to integrate safely with your IVF doctor’s plan.
7. How long does fertility acupuncture take to work?
Most women and men notice improvements in 6–12 sessions. For optimal results, consistency is key: once or twice a week, depending on your cycle, IVF schedule, symptoms, and lab results.
8. What conditions affecting fertility can TCM treat?
TCM can support fertility for conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid imbalance (including Hashimoto’s), irregular periods, poor egg quality, low sperm motility, luteal phase defects, AMH decline, high inflammation, and digestive issues that affect hormones.
9. Can TCM help prepare my body for pregnancy?
Yes. TCM fertility treatment focuses on womb health, digestive function, blood flow, sleep, stress, and energy regulation. This creates a healthy internal environment for conception and early pregnancy stability.
10. Do you offer a structured TCM fertility programme?
Yes, EMW offers a 12-week TCM Fertility Programme combining acupuncture, tailored herbs, nutrition guidance, and male + female fertility support. This programme is designed for couples trying naturally or preparing for IVF.
11. How does TCM help with gut issues like bloating, IBS, or acid reflux?
TCM improves gut health by regulating digestion, strengthening the Spleen and Stomach systems, reducing inflammation, and improving gut motility. At EMW, we combine acupuncture, herbal therapy, and moxibustion to target root causes of IBS, acid reflux, bloating, constipation, and gut inflammation specifically seen in Singapore lifestyles.
12. How can TCM support postpartum recovery?
TCM helps postpartum mothers recover faster by restoring Qi and blood, supporting lactation, regulating hormones, improving sleep, and reducing pain or weakness. Treatments may include postpartum acupuncture, herbal tonics, moxibustion, and tailored nutrition plans to help the body heal after childbirth.
13. Can TCM improve breastmilk supply or resolve blocked ducts?
Yes. TCM can support lactation through acupuncture, herbal therapy, and dietary recommendations that promote milk flow, reduce breast engorgement, and relieve blocked ducts. EMW also offers pre-delivery lactation guidance so mothers can prepare early for breastfeeding success.
14. Is TCM safe for children and babies?
Yes. Pediatric TCM uses gentle, child-friendly methods such as herbal granules, tuina (pediatric massage), and light acupuncture when appropriate. It is commonly used for cough, flu, phlegm, digestion issues, colic, sleep problems, and strengthening immunity in children.
15. Can gut health affect fertility and hormones?
Absolutely. Poor gut health can increase inflammation, disrupt nutrient absorption, affect thyroid function, and alter hormone balance, all of which impact fertility. EMW specialises in integrative care that connects gut health with TCM fertility treatment for improved reproductive outcomes.
