Colds and flu are among the most common illnesses in Singapore, with the city’s humid climate, air-conditioned environments, and frequent viral outbreaks increasing the risk of infection. While most cases are not severe, symptoms such as fever, sore throat, body aches, cough, and fatigue can disrupt daily life and lower productivity.
At Regis Wellness TCM Clinic, we provide safe and natural TCM treatments for cold and flu in Singapore, helping patients recover faster, strengthen their immune system, and reduce the likelihood of recurring infections. Using therapies such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, and moxibustion, our TCMPB-registered physicians treat both the root cause and surface symptoms for holistic healing.
How TCM Understands Cold & Flu
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, cold and flu are often categorised as invasions of “external pathogenic factors” such as Wind, Cold, Heat, or Dampness. These factors disrupt the flow of Qi (vital energy), weakening the body’s defences and causing symptoms like chills, fever, cough, and sore throat.
The exact treatment depends on the type of imbalance:
- Wind-Cold Type: Runny nose with clear mucus, chills, body aches, and a preference for warmth.
- Wind-Heat Type: Sore throat, fever, yellow mucus, thirst, and irritability.
- Dampness Type: Heaviness in the body, fatigue, congestion, and digestive upset.
By identifying the underlying pattern, TCM provides targeted therapies to restore balance, expel pathogens, and support recovery.
TCM Treatments for Cold & Flu
1.Herbal Medicine
Customised herbal medicine are central to TCM flu and cold treatment. Herbs are used to expel Wind, clear Heat, and boost immunity. Formulas are tailored to each patient’s condition to relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence.
2. Acupuncture
TCM acupuncture stimulates acupoints to regulate Qi, strengthen the immune system, and reduce symptoms such as fever, nasal congestion, and headaches. It also helps shorten recovery time by restoring the body’s balance.
3. Cupping & Gua Sha
TCM Cupping and gua sha therapies help release pathogens through the skin, improve circulation, and reduce muscle aches and stiffness commonly associated with flu.
4. Moxibustion
Gentle heat from moxibustion strengthens Yang energy, warms the body, and improves immune defences, especially for those prone to frequent colds.

Common Cold & Flu Concerns in Singapore
In Singapore, the combination of humid weather, year-round use of air-conditioning, and high-stress lifestyles make people more susceptible to repeated cold and flu episodes. Seasonal flu outbreaks are also common, with the June and December periods seeing higher infection rates.
Many patients also report lingering post-flu symptoms, such as prolonged cough, fatigue, or weakened immunity. TCM provides natural support to strengthen recovery and improve resilience, reducing the impact of viral infections on daily life.
