Ava Huang Jia Yi

Ava Huang Jia Yi is the writer and editor of the TCM Skin Compendium, an educational reference to traditional Chinese medicine for skin conditions. She compiled the library's condition, pattern, herb, formula and acupoint pages, and wrote the explanatory material that connects them.

The entries draw on classical Chinese medicine texts for the traditional record and on modern sources for the non-TCM discussion. Classical quotations are attributed to their named texts. Modern references link to the source where one exists, and pages state plainly when the evidence is limited or absent.

The compendium is published by Qicaogangmu.com and is an educational reference, not medical advice. It is not a diagnosis, a prescription, or a substitute for care from a qualified clinician.
