FAQ
Can I take the AI's TCM prescription directly to a pharmacy?
Absolutely not. TCM requires differentiation-based treatment; identical symptoms with different constitutions take completely different herbs. AI prescriptions draw from generic case books with imprecise dosages and sometimes include toxic herbs (aconite, wolfsbane, nux vomica). Have a licensed TCM doctor write prescriptions.
Is it useful as an entry-level TCM study tool?
Yes. Useful for understanding terminology (yin deficiency, qi stagnation, phlegm-dampness) and classical prescription structure. But the AI frequently misquotes classics like Shang Han Lun or Jin Gui Yao Lue. For advanced study rely on authoritative textbooks and famous physicians' writings.
