The knowledge base for Chinese medicine is incredibly vast.
There are thousands of medical texts which were written in the time span of the Han to the Qing Dynasties.
These books make up the core knowledge of pre-modern Chinese medicine.
Sadly, many of these books have not been translated into English, and there are thousands which never will be.
This is no small feat, as each small to medium text takes a translator at least a year to translate, and larger texts take even longer.
This is a labor of love, born from the desire to read the material that our teachers have read, and to drink from the source.
Our mission is to translate these texts in a literal way.
Most scholars will agree that a literal translation is the starting point for texts where the source material is in a different language.
Once a literal translation has been created, and is on the market, then it is up to our community to tease out the layered meanings within the text.
There are several ways that you the reader can help us reach our lofty goals, which we believe will greatly increase the resources for those interested in Chinese medicine.
First: A subscription to our Chinese Medicine Database helps pay our translators to translate texts which have never been translated before.
The Data within these texts is then searchable in Chinese or in English.
Second: We have published twelve books to date, and they are:
