Chinese Medicine Times. This is an online ‘ejournal’. The full text of all articles are published on the site, and back issues can also be read. There are a wide range of articles covering every aspect of Chinese Medicine acupuncture. The journal is intended to be read by practitioners and students, since to fully understand the articles, you would need to be familiar with Chinese Medicine concepts and terms. However, there is much content that general readers may find of interest.
Online Chinese Medicine texts
Institute for Traditional Medicine: 5 Organ Networks of Chinese Medicine. This link contains a detailed insight into the principles behind Chinese Medicine. I would not expect most readers to be able to fully understand the complete text, but it will give you an insight into the power, complexity, and beauty of Traditional Chinese Medicine. To begin, I recommend browsing the pages and reading snippets here and there, to get a flavour of what there is in the text. I have to say that in places, I don’t think the text is clearly written, and some of the concepts are difficult to grasp, no matter how clearly they had been written, but I do think it would be worthwhile for anyone interested in Traditional Chinese Medicine to dip into the pages and gain what you can from them. The text is organised into five sections, each dealing with one of the major organs and its actions:
Heart / Lung / Spleen (digestion in general) / Liver / Kidney
