Hi,
I will be traveling for three months through SE Asia, including Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia starting in mid-September. I consume many herbal dietary supplements for my health, but because of possilbe complications getting them through customs (the herbs come in bulk with no original packaging per se), it looks like I might have to find these Chinese and Indian (Ayurvedic) herbs in each respective destination.
So, I’m asking about Malaysia here—any city, but especially in bigger ones like Kuala Lumpur. Do you know of any herbalists or herbal shops which have Chinese and Indian herbs, especially encapsulated herbs? Health-food stores? (I’m looking for largest shops, as they are more likely to have the specific herbs I need.) Any names or search tips on the internet would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

just go to any traditional chinese medicine shop for advised. its quite common here
there are heaps of chinese medicine shops around the city. try Himalaya Herbal Healthcare in KLCC at Ramlee Mall shop number C43C.
try going to Chinatown/Petaling Street..I’m sure they’ll cater to whatever things that you sought after.
Chinese herbal are pretty common here even pharmacies & groceries shops have it.
If you want a specialist there won’t be problem too.
If you’re into Ayurvedic medicine, you can either head to those clinics/spas where they are specialist/consultant.
OR if u want off the counter medicine e.g. like Himalaya products Ref. link: http://www.himalayahealthcare.com/abouta… it’s widely available in most pharmacies.
I’ve taken some of their pills, after prescriptions from doctors.
It’s cheaper than western medicine & it’s 100% natural.
Main thing it works for me

If you are anywhere at Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
You can ask for Chinese Medical Shops or etc.
Those my family hv. been to & their prices are ok are like:
- Vie Onn Medical & Liquor Deater
B 17 Jln 14/20 Seksyen 14 46100 Petaling Jaya
(the elders there will specially package those herbs for you, if they can’t understand get those younger men to translate)
- Poly, Jalan USJ 6/1 (Opposite Subang Perdana Court 1)
Both of these hv. pretty wide range & the first one even hv their own chinese doctor for bones & body massage.
