New Online Encyclopedia for Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture

[Guest guest]

Dear Colleague,

 

Times is pleased to announce the latest addition to its

network, an online encyclopedia for Chinese medicine and acupuncture. We've

called it CMTpedia; http://www.chinesemedicinetimes.com/wiki/CMTpedia

 

The aim of CMTpedia is to become a vast open source of online information

available to practitioners, students, colleges, universities and the general

public alike.

 

The online encylcopedia already numbers more than 1500 pages. By using

internet standard encylopedia software wiki, users can add and extract

useful information. For example, by using the 'what links here' function you

can see what diseases are associated with the pattern Spleen Qi Deficiency:

iciency

 

Or what patterns the formula Gui Pi Tang can be used to treat:

Once info is inputted for individual herbs and acupuncture points, data can

be extracted for them as well.

 

CMTpedia pages can be viewed by anyone including non registered members.

However, only those that have registered an account as a healthcare

professional can edit pages on CMTpedia. This is to help prevent spam and

maintain a high quality of content.

 

Registered members will also have the added benefit of seamless access to

the CMT forum system.

 

Registration is free, so sign up and see what you can add:
