Welcome!
This project is an ongoing development of a terminology-free easy to understand online reference about traditional Chinese medicine. It is created, written and maintained by professionals and aims to enrich medical experts and overall health conscious people. Furthermore the project is presented in a way that anyone with curiosity about the Eastern perspective (yet with little or no former exposure to it) could effortlessly grasp the content and gain knowledge and benefit. It is written in the lightest terminology-free manner possible and covers the basics of TCM.
In order to create a better understanding about the all-encompassing view of traditional Chinese medicine and to help our readers navigate through the project easier, we built the project into six chapters. Human health is observed from a physiological and emotional but also from an ecological, bio-chemical, and vital aspects, which together help create a more wholesome and complete view of the human being. These five aspects correspond to five chapters: “Ecology”, “Materia Medica”, “Physiology”, “Vitality”, and "Mentality". It is important to never view any of these aspects/chapters as separate or independent from one another as the human being is largely complicated and unable to be defined by some or all of its manifestations. The function of these aspects in this project is to create yet another angle that points to the richness and complexity of the human being, and in no way to divide, separate, reduce or solely define the wholeness of the former.
There is an additional sixth chapter called “Kitchen medicine”. This is a friendly blog devoted to exploring healing recipes for the different physiological and mental disharmonies.
The project has two directions – reading/educational and advanced/customised. The reading/educational part is absolutely free and the curious reader will find numerous materials about health from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, all organised in the chapter that corresponds to their topic. You can access the materials by clicking on any of the above subjects/chapters and then select the material that you want to read about.
The advanced/customised part of this project requires paid subscription. It is intended for health conscious people and medical professionals who want to incorporate food therapy and acupressure in their daily life/medical practice. You can read what options we developed for our subscription users here.
