I offer a holistic approach to healing that takes into account the mind, body and soul. My mission is to empower more people to take charge of their health by understanding how their body and mind work together. I know that by addressing their mindset and emotional health, everyone can overcome their suffering and achieve true wellness. I am a registered TCM physician in Singapore with a decade of experience in treating patients from all walks of life. Through years of practice as a TCM physician and my own personal journey of healing, I have uncovered powerful methods that not only helped me regain control of my life but also enabled me to overcome my skin issues and the multitude of symptoms that arise from a tense nervous system. About 4-5 years ago, I was under so much stress dealing with relationship issues that I had hives attack (something which I never had in my life before), insomnia and anxiety. Little did I know that this awful experience was the stimulant for deeper healing and transformation for my mind, body & soul. My healing journey sent me on an awakening path into healing myself from within, changing my mindset, understanding my body more, and learning what my body is trying to tell me. It made me realize that so many of my past symptoms were simply due to my anxiety, my overly-stressed nervous system. This realization led me to integrate the power of mindset shifting and profound healing alongside TCM. As a result, I developed a unique ability to perceive the internal struggles that lie beneath the surface of symptoms experienced by many of my patients. This comprehensive approach allows me to guide them on a journey of healing that goes beyond traditional medication and acupuncture. I enjoy sharing tips and guidance to help them manoeuvre out of their stuff and heal from the inside out. I believe this is the true healing, the true cure. However, I encountered a challenge during standard consultation times at the clinic. The limited duration made it difficult to fully address and support my patients in working through their internal struggles. It was then that I had a thought — I needed to expand my reach and share my message and tools online. And thus, Inner Healing TCM was born! Physician Cassandra TCM registration number T1403144E.

Postpartum hair loss is REAL. 🥲

A few months into motherhood, and THE TIME has finally come~~ My hair has started falling out after barely shedding throughout my entire pregnancy!

I’m beginning to find hair in the shower, on the floor, and even landing on my arms randomly throughout the day. 🫠

But fret not! This is a common part of postpartum recovery. During pregnancy, hormonal changes keep more hair in the growing phase, so we tend to shed less. After childbirth, as hormone levels shift, that accumulated hair starts shedding.

I knew this can happen, so I decided to prepare for it soon after my confinement.

As a TCM physician, I believe in looking at the bigger picture. It’s not just about which shampoo to use, but also about supporting the body from within.

That said, postpartum hair shedding is often related to hormonal changes after childbirth. These practices are part of my personal routine and based on logic.

Every mum’s recovery journey is different. If hair loss is severe, patchy or persistent, get it checked to rule out other causes.

Mums, when did your postpartum hair loss start? And what have you been doing to manage it? Share your experience in the comments — let’s learn from one another! ❤️

🌫️ Haze in Singapore? Here’s a TCM-inspired herbal drink to try!

When the haze hits, some of us may experience an irritated throat, skin itch, nasal discomfort or dry, irritated eyes.

In TCM, certain herbs and food ingredients are traditionally used to moisten the Lungs (and skin), soothe the throat and support eye health.

Here’s what goes into this herbal drink:

🌿 罗汉果 Monk fruit — Traditionally used to moisten the Lungs and soothe the throat.

🍊 金桔 Kam kuat (kumquat) — Adds a citrusy flavour and is traditionally used in remedies for cough and phlegm.

🌼 菊花 Chrysanthemum — Traditionally used to clear heat and benefit the eyes.

❤️ 枸杞子 Wolfberry — Traditionally used to nourish the Liver and Kidneys and support eye health.

🍐 雪梨干 Dried snow pear — Adds natural sweetness and is traditionally used in drinks to moisten dryness.

🌰 南杏 Sweet apricot kernel — Traditionally used to moisten the Lungs and relieve cough.

These ingredients make a comforting herbal drink that can be enjoyed as part of your wellness routine during haze season.

A gentle reminder: While this drink may help soothe certain symptoms, it does NOT filter out haze particles or remove pollutants from your lungs.

If your eczema or hives flares up significantly or you experience persistent skin irritation or breathing difficulties, seek medical advice.

When air quality is poor, remember to:
✔️ Reduce prolonged outdoor activities.
✔️ Keep windows closed when outdoor air quality is poor.
✔️ Use an air purifier if you are sensitive to pollutants.
✔️ Use a properly fitted N95 mask when appropriate.
✔️ Seek medical advice if you experience breathing difficulties or worsening symptoms.

Save this recipe for haze season, and share it with someone who may find it helpful!

If you’ve given birth recently, you may know exactly what I mean when I say…

The hair shedding can be INSANE. 🥲

Postpartum hair loss is common, but from a TCM perspective, we also look at the relationship between Qi, Blood and hair.

Pregnancy, childbirth, blood loss, breastfeeding and broken sleep can all place additional demands on the body. When the body is depleted, it prioritises what’s essential — and hair may not be the priority.

This is why nourishing Blood (養血) may be part of postpartum TCM care when Blood deficiency is present.

But it’s not about simply taking a Blood tonic.

TCM looks at the whole picture. Your digestion, stress, sleep, menstrual recovery, postpartum symptoms and overall constitution.

Because two women can experience the same hair loss can have completely different underlying patterns.

So instead of only asking:

“How do I stop my hair from falling?”

Perhaps also ask:

“How can I nourish my body so it has enough to give?”

Your body has just grown a baby, gone through childbirth and is now recovering. Give it time, nourishment and support.

If your hair loss is severe, patchy, persistent or accompanied by other symptoms, seek medical assessment to rule out other causes.

“My baby is breech. What can I do?” 🤰🏻

This is a question I hear from pregnant women who are understandably worried when they find out their baby isn’t head-down.

One TCM approach you may come across is **moxibustion at BL67 (至阴)**.

And interestingly, this isn’t simply a traditional practice that has never been studied.

Moxibustion for breech presentation has been investigated in clinical research, with some evidence suggesting that it may increase the likelihood of a baby turning to a head-down position.

It has particularly been studied when started around 33–35 weeks.

But I want to emphasise something: Moxibustion is not a guarantee.

Not every breech baby will turn.

And not every pregnant woman is suitable for the same treatment protocol.

From a TCM perspective, the intention isn’t to physically “push” the baby into position.

Rather, moxibustion uses warmth and stimulation at a specific acupuncture point to encourage fetal movement and spontaneous version.

If you’re considering it, don’t wait until you’re already at the point where you feel pressured to make a decision.

Speak to a qualified TCM practitioner who is experienced in pregnancy care, while continuing your regular antenatal monitoring and discussing ECV and other options with your obstetrician.

TCM and Western medicine don’t have to be an either/or decision.

Sometimes the most empowering thing we can do is simply understand our options.

Pregnancy and childbirth ask so much of our bodies. ❤️

To me, confinement isn’t about blindly following traditions or checking off a list of dos and don’ts. It’s about prioritising recovery and giving your body the time, nourishment, and rest it deserves after doing something truly incredible.

As a TCM physician, I hope to share more about the “why” behind these traditional confinement practices. When we understand the reasoning, we can make informed decisions—instead of doing something simply because “that’s how it’s always been done,” or dismissing it because it feels inconvenient or troublesome.

Not every practice will be suitable for every mother, and that’s okay. The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is to support your body in the way it needs to heal.

Your body has spent nine months growing a baby and gone through the immense work of giving birth. Now it’s your turn to take care of it, so it has the strength and energy to take care of you—and your little one—in the months and years ahead. 😊❤️

I’d love to share more about the TCM principles behind confinement and postpartum recovery. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments!

As a TCM physician, I believe pregnancy is a season of deep nourishment 🩷

During pregnancy, the body uses a huge amount of blood and energy to support both mum and baby.

This is why many women experience:
* fatigue
* dizziness
* forgetfulness
* “pregnancy brain”
* lower iron levels

One simple snack I personally enjoy is red dates + walnuts ✨

In Traditional Chinese Medicine:
❤️ Red dates help nourish blood and support energy
🤎 Walnuts help nourish the brain and kidney system

From a nutritional perspective, walnuts contain healthy fats that support brain health, while red dates contain iron and nutrients that help support healthy blood production.

Simple, grounding nourishment can go a long way during pregnancy.

Share this video with your pregnant family member or friends! Or gift them a packet of red date walnut snack! ❤️
