Chen Yuan Sheng, who has engaged in the garment industry for over two decades, started a special sideline many years ago.

He helps toothache patients to reduce pain by banishing tooth worms with an ancient treatment.

Chen, 44, is working in a garment factory. His late father had a great interest in Chinese medicine and was proficient in acupuncture and herbal medicine.

Chen said that his father had visited China for many times to study Chinese medicine.

About two decades ago, his father learned an ancestral treatment to banish tooth warms which could help reduce the pain of toothache patients.

His father then started the sideline at home.

Under the influence of his father, Chen also has a keen interest in Chinese medicine, as well as the ancient treatment.

The garment industry was popular in textile city Batu Pahat.

However, the industry declined during an economic downturn years ago, setting a blow to many garment factories, including the one Chen was working with.

He then had more time for the sideline when he did not have to work overtime due to less orders.

MY COMMENT
Honestly, I am willing to try this process as I'd like to get rid of any worms that might be present in my teeth.  If only Johore is not that far away from Sitiawan.
