About this app

Explore the wisdom of Traditional Chinese / East Asian Medicine, centered on the Huangdi Neijing (the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic), and bring it into your daily life.

■ What's Inside

📖 Foundations (15 topics)
Clear explanations of the core theories that run through the Huangdi Neijing — Yin-Yang and Five-Phase theory, the correspondence between heaven and humanity, Zangxiang (organ) theory, qi and blood, and more. Also includes a Glossary of key TCM terms.

📅 Today
Synced to the 24 solar terms (jieqi), this tab shows the seasonal signs of nature (from the Yueling Qishi'er Hou Jijie), seasonal wellness guidance drawn from the Huangdi Neijing, and a seasonal food with a recipe — updated daily. A tool in Settings also lets you enter your birthday to calculate your personal Wuyun-Liuqi correspondence (saved birthdays can be recalled anytime).

📜 Classics (54 passages across 10 categories)
Some of the most famous passages from the Huangdi Neijing — including the Shanggu Tianzhen Lun, the pathways of the twelve channels, and Yin-Yang/Five-Phase theory — presented with the original classical Chinese text alongside a modern-language translation. Also includes related excerpts from the Laozi, Zhuangzi, and Shennong Bencao Jing.

🌿 Food Dictionary (107 items across 11 categories)
The classical "four natures" and "five flavors" of foods and medicinal ingredients, as recorded in the Shennong Bencao Jing and Bencao Gangmu, alongside their associated organs and modern nutritional information.

■ How It Works
"Today" and the first 7 topics of "Foundations" are free to use. The full list of titles in "Classics" and "Food Dictionary," the remaining 7 "Foundations" topics (from "Channels and Acupoints" onward), and the "Calculate Your Wuyun-Liuqi" tool in Settings are all free to browse, but opening their full content or using the tool requires a one-time in-app purchase (price shown in your local currency at the time of purchase). Once purchased, everything stays unlocked permanently, with no additional or recurring charges.
