Physician Cora Chen Ying Chu (陳瀅竹)
MOH-registered TCM physician in Singapore with deep roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Born in Taiwan into a second-generation TCM family, she grew up watching her mother care for the community with TCM, inspiring her lifelong dedication to holistic healing
The Herbal Healing Culinary Retreat is led by our TCM partner, Lao Niang TCM
After obtaining her TCM physician licence, she pursued a Master’s degree in TCM Clinical Practice, specialising in women’s health, at Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. Beyond her clinical work, she mentors aspiring TCM physicians at the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, contributing to the advancement of TCM standards in Singapore.
Cora specialises in women’s health and preventive medicine, providing support in menstrual health, fertility, pre- and postnatal care, and menopause management. She firmly believes that “The best pharmacy is the kitchen, and the best medicine is food.” To her, TCM is not just about prescribing medicine—it is about empowering patients to make lifestyle adjustments and informed nutritional choices. Rather than promoting long-term reliance on medication, she embraces the principle that food and medicine share the same origin, seamlessly incorporating herbs into daily meals—such as herbal soups and teas—as a safe and sustainable approach to wellness. Through her integrative approach, she helps women and their families take charge of their health naturally, fostering long-term vitality and well-being.
