Knowledge base

A reference for the medicine.

Herbs, formulas, acupuncture points and the patterns that connect them — monographs written for practitioners, free and open to everyone. The collection is young and grows deliberately.

Herbs4

Single medicinals: nature, taste, channels entered, dosage and combinations.

Formulas1

Classical prescriptions: composition, actions, indications and modifications.

Acupuncture points3

Point monographs: location, needling, actions and combinations.

Conditions

Differential tables: for one complaint, the patterns that produce it and what each one asks for.

Diagnosis

The four examinations, tongue and pulse — the reasoning of the medicine.

This reference is written for practitioners and students of Chinese medicine. It is not medical advice, and nothing here is a substitute for consulting a qualified practitioner.
