Singapore's Health Sciences Authority (HSA) has recently given the approval to conduct a clinical trial on the use of Lianhua Qingwen capsules among Covid-19 patients in Singapore.

SINGAPORE - A clinical trial is currently under way here to see if traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Lianhua Qingwen Jiao Nang capsules can help in the treatment of some Covid-19 patients.

A study has found that acupuncture can improve the actual composition of tears, to offer relief for sufferers of dry eye disease. This makes the Traditional Chinese Medicine technique a cost-effective way to manage the condition, one that affects 12% of Singaporean but one-third of adults. It costs from $4 to $80 per session depending on needs.
