Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

Field notes

The site uses a symptom-led “Consulting Room” alongside themed sections for materia medica, formulas, food therapy, tea, movement, acupressure, and classical sources. Visible herb material pairs common and botanical names with traditional temperature, flavor, and organ-system descriptions, including Panax ginseng, Lycium barbarum, and Astragalus mongholicus. The homepage also names a Cochrane review in the point-map section and says a practitioner directory will begin with California, though that directory is marked as opening soon.
