Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) continues to play an important role in healthcare. In the past two years following the impact of the coronavirus, Chinese acupuncture and herbs are increasingly becoming the norm for those seeking to treat post-Covid health issues. This is also the case for those with underlining health problems who have experienced some form of side-effect after receiving the vaccine – which is expected, as outlined by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The Tole Acupuncture and Herbal Medical Center Sdn Bhd, known as The Tole, understands that post Covid-19 health issues could be a concern or an ongoing problem for many, especially those with comorbidities. As a proponent of integrating mainstream medicine with the traditional in healthcare, The Tole lists below some of the side-effects those with long-Covid or vaccine-induce ones may be experiencing and recommends Chinese traditional treatments and complementary herbal medicine that can aid in treating these ailments.

Cancer patients can benefit from the treatments targeted to reverse and eliminate any new cysts, lumps, fibroids and tumors or, complications that may arise for the same reason. The Tole underpins this to clotting in which oxygen supply is lessened, and this aggravates cancer cells to grow faster. Starting treatment early is highly recommended to provide a greater chance of reversing or more effectively treating these conditions.

Other issues such as worsening asthma, phlegm build up are also common as breathing is typically affected. Scarring of the heart or a weakening heart condition can be assisted with ample rest and intake of good herbs to build up the heart’s Qi. Immediate attention is advised for this and proper care, a healthy diet, and the herbs are required to strengthen the heart.
