TCM Practitioners, I need your helpš¤ā¤ļø
It will only take a few minutes of your time, but leaving a comment can help pass on the legacy of TCM to future generations. My genuine wish is to bring Chinese medicine to the world, and inspire others to learn and practice the tradition.
I will never forget going back to campus after I returned from my clinical rotations. My juniors who were first year students enrolled after they saw my videos of Chinese medicine on Instagram. So I know for sure what we do on social media has an impact.
Chinese medicine is no longer just Chinese. It doesnāt only belong to the Chinese people. Itās now shared with the world and there are many schools in every continent that teaches it. And I want people to know these schools and programs. So please, comment and letās share what you know with everyone in the TCM communityā¤ļø thank you š„°
Chinese Medicine (TCM)ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Hi, if youāre new here, Iām a Chinese medicine practitioner from Malaysia. My name is Chee Hee, and Iāve been posting here for almost three years now. Feel free to explore my page to learn more about TCM.
If you have any questions or video suggestions, please let me too! Welcome to my page Chee Hee | Chinese Medicine Practitionerš²š¾ ā¤ļø
In Chinese medicine, mental, emotional and physical health are closely connected. Two patterns commonly discussed in relation to emotional distress are Qi stagnation and Shen disturbance, although the exact pattern can differ from person to person.
Treatment may include acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and lifestyle support, based on individual pattern differentiation. Research suggests acupuncture may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression for some people, but the evidence is still developing.
If youāre interested in exploring TCM as part of your care, you may consult a qualified TCM practitioner for an individual assessment.
Disclaimer: TCM is best used as part of an integrative approach and should not replace appropriate mental health care.

Reminder: Chinese medicine is real medicine, not just a casual dietary trend! Blindly trying viral herbal recipes online can easily do more harm than good if you do not understand your own body type.
TCM works through carefully balanced formulas where multiple herbs target your specific patterns together. These include plants, minerals, and even animal-derived ingredients, all classified by traditional energetic temperatures and meridian affinities rather than isolated chemicals.
Because certain herbs can be toxic, restricted, or completely incompatible with each other (like licorice and kelp), they should always be prescribed by a trained professional. What heals one person might cause imbalances in another.
Always consult a practitioner before starting any herbal routine, and drop your TCM questions in the comments! šæāØ

Chinese medicine should not be treated as an extension of your diet. It iss medicine and should be treated as such. Blindly trying herbs may cause more harm than good. Please ask questions if ever in doubt. I will answer in the comments.
TCM usually combines multiple herbs as formulas in disease treatment. Within each formula, there is a chief herb, deputy herbs, assistant herbs, envoy herbs, and they work together to achieve a common goal. This approach allows the formulas to target multiple aspects of imbalance in a personalized manner.
Most TCM herbs are plant based (licorice, red dates, goji berries), but there are also animal derived ingredients (turtle shells, scorpions, antelope horns are common examples), and minerals (a popular one is Gypsum Fibrosum used in Three Legs Cooling Water for clearing heat) Note: if you have dietary restrictions, make sure to tell your practitioner.
Herbs are not classified like pharmaceutical drugs. They are classified by their traditional functional properties, such as their flavors (sweet, sour, salty, etc), their energetic temperature (cold, warm, neutral), and their meridian affinity (which meridians and organ connections they act on). Thatās why, using TCM herbs from the scientific approach (many modern herbal products use the isolated pharmacological properties and extracted biochemical compounds from herbs) is very different from the traditional approach.
There are many poisonous herbs in TCM that are still being used in China due to its effectiveness, but many are banned in other countries. Considering that medicines are known to have side effects and toxicity, they have to be used with caution by trained practitioners. Chinese medicine boards in countries like Australia and US have banned or restricted the use of herbs that are poisonous, unfit for human consumption (some being excrements like Can Sha, Wu Ling Zhi), that contain aristolochic acid (like Fang Ji, Mu Tong, Ma Dou Ling), and that contain ephedrine alkaloids (like Ma Huang). If youāre a practitioner, feel free to share your thoughts with me in the comments regarding this issue.

Why I chose TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)
I fell in love because I experienced the effectiveness of the treatments firsthand as a patient. After studying it, I fell in love with it, and Iām now a certified TCM practitioner in Malaysia š²š¾
As practitioners of Chinese medicine, we prescribe herbs based on the TCM patterns we observe in the patient. TCM holds that the same disease may present with different patterns in different individuals. But somehow, many research studies for Chinese herbal medicine do not include the patterns as the study criteria, leading to inaccurate studies, and misinterpretation on the effectiveness of herbal medicine.
āIn published randomized, placebo-controlled trials of CHFs, the use of TCM patterns as an inclusion criterion was associated with a higher likelihood of statistically significant primary outcomes.ā

Itās been almost a year since the launch of the Body Type Course and the next step now is more personalization, which includes learning about the common patterns beyond the body types.
This course is called the Body Compass, and it includes Tongue Reading, more on Food Energetics, Ear Seeds, Acupressure, and more.
Iāll be sharing more about it in my upcoming videos, so stay tunedā¤ļø
A 2026 Reintroductionā¤ļø
Welcome to the page my new friends! This year Iām challenging myself to start yapping and get comfortable just chatting with you guys and creating content more naturally.
One of the reasons I started this page was to connect with likeminded practitioners of Chinese medicine and acupuncture.
The second reason is to understand and learn how Chinese medicine has adapted to international locations, and how people view Chinese medicine.
So if youāre either of the two, Iād appreciate if you can leave a comment! Thank you for your time, and have an amazing dayā¤ļø
me.
