Traditional Herbs,
Made Modern
Many women turn to Chinese herbal medicine to restore hormonal balance, improve energy, and support fertility in a natural yet structured way. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and adapted to modern healthcare standards, it remains one of the most widely used forms of holistic treatment in the world.
At Wo.men Matters, we bring a contemporary approach to this ancient practice, offering clinically prepared herbal formulas in convenient capsule and syrup forms.
No boiling or bitter powders.
Chinese herbal medicine is the foundation of TCM. It uses natural ingredients such as plants, minerals, roots and etc to restore internal balance and promote self-healing. Rather than addressing symptoms alone, herbal therapy works on the underlying imbalances that lead to fatigue, pain, or hormonal irregularities.
TCM often involves boiling raw herbs into a strong-tasting tea, a process that can be inconvenient and inconsistent. We use modern capsules and syrups.
In TCM terms, herbs help the body maintain equilibrium.
When any of these are weak or in excess, symptoms appear — such as menstrual cramps, irregular cycles, or fatigue. Traditional Chinese Medicine restores this internal rhythm.
Where Western medicine often focuses on symptom suppression, TCM aims to address underlying imbalance.
For instance, period pain may result from Blood stagnation; infertility may be linked to Kidney or Liver disharmony; fatigue may reflect Spleen Qi deficiency.
By treating the root cause, TCM creates sustainable improvement rather than temporary relief.
From a biomedical perspective, many Chinese herbs contain compounds that improve circulation, regulate hormonal activity, reduce inflammation, and support immune resilience.
Studies have shown that herbal formulas can influence neurotransmitters, modulate stress responses, and improve uterine blood flow, mechanisms that align with their traditional roles in regulating Qi and Blood.
TCM physicians use hundreds of herbs, but a few are especially valuable in supporting hormonal and reproductive health.

TCM addresses a wide spectrum of women’s health needs.
It is frequently prescribed to regulate hormones, improve reproductive function, and strengthen overall vitality.
Traditional Chinese Medicine therapy helps restore the natural rhythm of the menstrual cycle by improving blood circulation and balancing the Liver and Spleen systems. Many women find relief from symptoms such as irregular periods, heavy flow, or cramps within one to two cycles.
Modern studies show that herbal formulas can effectively regulate menstrual function, relieve dysmenorrhoea, and support fertility outcomes when used alongside IVF. Others have demonstrated improvements in perimenopausal symptoms, including sleep and mood regulation.
The World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledges Traditional Chinese Medicine as a complementary healthcare system. In Singapore, its integration into fertility and wellness programmes reflects growing confidence in its safety and effectiveness.
