How the journal works
From classical theory to clinical understanding
TCM Magazine organizes knowledge around themes that recur in practice: diagnosis, syndromes, meridians, acupuncture points, herbs, nutrition and case studies.
01
Classical foundation
We start from foundations such as yin-yang, five phases, qi, blood, fluids, zang-fu and meridians.
02
Pattern recognition
Symptoms are not viewed separately, but placed within patterns, constitution, etiology and clinical coherence.
03
Practical interpretation
Articles translate theory into treatment direction, point selection, herbal logic, dietary advice and lifestyle context.
04
Depth and reflection
The journal encourages slow thinking, comparison, rereading and clinical reflection.
Content pillars
The main knowledge areas on one platform
TCM Magazine brings together the different parts of the profession. Not as separate categories, but as connected fields of knowledge.
Diagnostics and syndromes
In-depth coverage of zang-fu patterns, eight principles, disease causes, constitution, pulse, tongue and clinical interpretation.
Acupuncture and meridians
Background on point functions, meridian pathways, combinations, indications and treatment strategy.
Chinese herbs and formulas
Explanation of herbs, flavors, thermal nature, formulas, modifications and use within pattern recognition.
Nutrition and prevention
Chinese dietary therapy as a practical daily instrument for balance, recovery, prevention and seasonal living.
Editorial form
More than a collection of articles
A medical professional journal has a different task than an ordinary blog. The content must offer calm, reliability, structure and professional relevance.
Longreads
Space for extensive treatment of themes that cannot be explained in a few paragraphs.
Cases and practice
Practice-oriented articles in which diagnosis, observation and treatment direction come together.
Interviews and vision
Conversations with specialists, educators and professionals about the profession, education and the future of TCM.
