They have been committed to achieving their goal of being a reputable integrative health and wellness centre and dedicated to their mission : to be a trusted centre with top-notch care and first-rate services offering holistic healing and alternative therapies like TCM , which is swiftly emerging as a crucial part of Malaysia ’ s healthcare system .
The centre ’ s unique framework to provide patients with a wide range of alternative treatment options for health conditions like hormone imbalance , infertility , pain management , and general health and wellness , among others , sets it apart from the rest .

their distance from public spaces , especially hospitals , Thomson TCM ventured on to develop its own range of products that enabled patients to self-administer treatments in the comfort and safety of their own homes . The creation of its own brand further strengthened the centre ’ s position as the go-to , one-stop wellness centre for patients requiring home care treatments .
One such product is the herbal heat pillow treatment which soothes the eyes and calms the body , relieving symptoms like joint pain , menstrual cramps , and muscle bruising . The centre ’ s assortment of herbal products includes raw herbs , herbal soups , Qi Tea Cubes , herbal teas , and DIY kits for doing moxibustion at home . Along with home kits , Thomson TCM also debuted lifestyle products such as alternative and non-traditional salon beauty treatments that would appeal to an untapped demographic . Additionally , the hospital has created a post-COVID treatment package for those looking for alternative approaches and natural remedies to treat long-COVID symptoms . All of these things are readily accessible and obtainable nationwide through online e-commerce platforms .
In order to improve their presence in the market and establish themselves as the go-to brand for healthcare products , particularly in alternative and holistic healthcare treatments , Thomson TCM plans to focus on the continual expansion of their natural product line . They also intend to remain a top choice for patients looking to increase their chances of either natural conception or through IVF procedures . The centre aims to extend its services by collaborating with other private hospitals as well as beauty and fitness centres to make its services and products more accessible within the region .
Being named the TCM centre of the year in Asia Pacific is a testament to Thomson TCM ’ s persistent commitment to their purpose and relentless pursuit of excellence under all circumstances .
