💛 About the eBook

Studying Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can feel complex — and explaining it to patients, friends, or family can feel even harder. We’ve been there too.

That’s why Boncho Friends created the TCM Organ Guide Series — a beginner-friendly, beautifully illustrated eBook collection that breaks down each organ’s function in TCM into simple, visual explanations.

Volume 1: The Spleen helps readers understand one of the most essential (and misunderstood) organs in TCM — the “Source of Postnatal Qi.”

Whether you’re a TCM student, a practitioner looking for ways to explain Spleen Qi to patients, or simply someone curious about how TCM views digestion and energy, this eBook will make it all click.

📖 Inside the Book

In this first volume, you’ll learn:

• The Spleen’s role in digestion, Qi, and Blood
• How modern lifestyles weaken the Spleen
• Key patterns of imbalance (like Dampness or Spleen Qi Deficiency)
• Practical ways to nourish and strengthen the Spleen through diet, movement, and mindset
• Herbal and acupuncture examples for real-world context

Each page includes hand-drawn illustrations by Isaac, clear explanations, and practical tips you can actually use or share with patients.

🧠 Who It’s For

• TCM students — visual, easy-to-understand study support
