Tradition Reimagined with Pictures.

About TCM Picture Book

Studying acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine is not easy. There is just a ton of new information to take in, comprehend, and remember. It is a challenge to everyone studying the medicine. 

TCM Picture Book provides texts and study guides to help in the process of learning Traditional Chinese Medicine.  

The Power of Visual Storytelling

Our brains take in visual information differently than written material. In many ways our minds are built to take in visual information quickly and succinctly. We can harness visuals as a means to learning complex material such as TCM.
