TCM glossary

Every term we use, defined in plain English. Where a word means something different in Chinese medicine than it does in a hospital, we say so rather than blurring the two.

Definitions here are for wellness education only — not medical advice. Knowing the vocabulary cannot tell you whether you have a condition, and nothing on this page is a diagnosis. If symptoms persist or get worse, see a qualified professional.
