What Is Traditional Chinese Medicine?
A map of the practice, its vocabulary and the questions to ask about evidence.
Build a vocabulary you can question
Begin with what Chinese medicine covers, then move to qi, yin and yang. Food therapy and warming/cooling foods apply that vocabulary to another setting. The order is a reading route, not a curriculum qualification or a way to diagnose yourself.
Each guide separates a traditional explanatory framework from a modern measurement or health outcome. Follow the examples to understand the distinction, and use the linked references when you want the original context rather than memorising an isolated phrase.
