About TCMGuide

TCMGuide is an independent English-language website dedicated to making Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) concepts easier to understand for readers worldwide.

Our mission

We publish clear, structured articles on TCM basics, herbs, formulas, acupoints, diagnosis, wellness, and classical texts. Our goal is education and literacy—not to replace professional medical care.

What we are not

TCMGuide is not a clinic, hospital, or telehealth service. We do not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or provide individualized medical advice. Nothing on this site establishes a patient–provider relationship.

Editorial approach

We aim to cite reputable sources where claims touch on health, history, or safety, and we describe our editorial standards openly. For details on how we write, review, and update content, see our Editorial Policy.

Transparency

Where we use tools such as AI-assisted drafting, content is still edited for accuracy, clarity, and consistency with our editorial policy. Human review is part of our process before publication.

Disclaimer

All content is for educational purposes only. Read our full Disclaimer before relying on any information for health decisions.
