You’ll love the sensation of coming back to your senses, and here in Singapore, the rich urban culture is also nestled in an exotic, tropical paradise. There are plenty of attractions in the urban centers to keep you busy when you’re not rejuvenating, and you’ll see that Singapore’s rich blend of cultures also influence how we see health here. Like the city-state itself, medicine here is influenced by Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences, and almost half the population here consult alternative doctors for their maladies and maintenance of daily health. Traditional Chinese medicine is particularly popular, along with its tradition of acupuncture. These types of medicine are opposed to the allopathic category.
Allopathic as a term can be a bit misleading. Generally speaking, it refers to the practice of medicine that treats disease by prescribing treatments that produce the opposite effects. Allopathic medicine often has a pejorative connotation, especially among the alternative medicine community, who tend to look at the whole person rather than the symptoms. There are many other kinds of traditional medicine practiced here, because it is such a mix of cultures, and many of the more fascinating practices can be discovered with a little bit of investigation. It’s worth looking into while you’re staying here.
