Welcome to the Chinese Medicine Blog! This blog is intended for practitioners and students of TCM/OM interested in sharing their insights and epiphanies gained in their craft. This blog was developed with the hopes of cultivating an open community of professionals with a diversity of perspectives and approaches to TCM, from its theoretical foundations to its clinical applications.

Every week or so, a new question or statement will be posted for discussion. We welcome constructive critiques to all entries. If my opinion differs uniquely to any of the entries I will include a synopsis. We encourage entries to reference their statements, whether it be from historical text or modern research, so that others may follow up and learn from these sources. Above all we welcome personally developed ideas and/or methods; please cite these as well. On a personal note, I hope to evolve as a practitioner by refining ideas through this open forum.

The first topic I would like to engage in is COFFEE. And the question I would like to pose is: how should one of the most (if not the most) widely consumed decoction worldwide be evaluated from a TCM perspective?
